 Human sexuality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Human sexual behavior in most individuals is typically influenced, or heavily affected by norms from the culture in which the individual lives.
The sexuality of human beings comprises a broad range of behavior and processes, including the physiological, psychological, social, cultural, political, and spiritual or religious aspects of sex and human sexual behavior.
Human sexuality can also be understood as part of the social life of humans, governed by implied rules of behavior and the status quo.

 THE TRUTH AND MEANING OF HUMAN SEXUALITY
Human love hence embraces the body, and the body also expresses spiritual love.[1] Therefore, sexuality is not something purely biological, rather it concerns the intimate nucleus of the person.
"Sexuality is a fundamental component of personality, one of its modes of being, of manifestation, of communicating with others, of feeling, of expressing and of living human love."[15] This capacity for love as self-giving is thus incarnated in the nuptial meaning of the body, which bears the imprint of the person's masculinity and femininity.
Through its very nature, the primary generation of a human life in the procreative act must be followed by the secondary generation, whereby parents help their child to develop his or her own personality.
