Human beings, women and men, young and old, abled and disabled, are sexual beings
The findings of the youth’s perceptions regarding sexuality revealed a varied understanding of the concept sexuality. Their discussion of sexuality, was mainly related to heterosexual sexual activity. This could be an indication that the sexuality information available to them is on sexual intercourse
Summary
Women and men, young and old, abled and disabled, are sexual beings As sexual beings they need to express and enjoy their sexuality throughout their lives and take responsibility for their sexual behaviour. They need to exercise their sexual rights and make decisions about their sexuality consistent with their own values They need freedom from fear, shame, guilt and false beliefs that might inhibit their sexual responses and impair their sexuality (Koontz & Conly, 1994:3). As sexual beings, they have the ability to make choices, and express love and intimacy consistent with their own values. Rape by a sexual partner, relative or parent, sexual harassment, and any other forms of sexual violence that occur within the private space become a private matter and go unchallenged by society (Kenya Women’s International Association, 1993:3-5)
