We teach children values around sexuality through words and perhaps more importantly by modeling behaviors we see as right and just. Media and peers also promote values (or the lack thereof) in the messages they deliver.
Teens say that parents influence their decisions about sex more than any other people

Sexual orientation has more to do with identity than behavior. Someone who identifies as gay or lesbian may or may not have had sexual intercourse with someone of the same sex. At the same time, someone who has had intercourse with someone of the same sex may identify as heterosexual. Some people experiment with same or opposite gender sexual behaviors, particularly when they are growing up and defining their identity. The identities “gay”, “lesbian”, “bisexual” or “heterosexual” are decided by the person who identifies themselves as such.

Gender identity is a person's internal sense of being male or female. It is how a person feels, not necessarily their biological gender or how they present themselves to the world. The expectation that one should act “masculine” or “feminine” to conform to some social or cultural norm and one’s self-identification as masculine, feminine, or androgynous refers to one’s gender role identification.

Although estrogen (the primary female sex hormone) has some libido-enhancing effects, studies show that testosterone has a stronger influence in determining level of sexual desire. Researchers compared the effects of estrogen to testosterone in menopausal women. Women who were administered synthetic methyl testosterone increased their sex drive by 65 percent, while those who received synthetic estrogen increased it by only 12 percent.

A lot of times, you CAN’T tell you’re infected — or if your partner is infected. Lots of serious STDs often have no symptoms — that’s why it’s so important to visit a health care provider and ask to be tested, and to always use barrier protection such as latex condoms if you have sex. You probably won’t get tested for STDs as part of a routine exam unless you ask for it. Even a woman’s annual gynecological exam doesn’t usually include STD screening unless you request it.

HIV is spread through body fluids such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids and breast milk —in other words, during unprotected vaginal, anal, and oral intercourse; by sharing contaminated needles; or via pregnancy or breast-feeding.

HIV is spread most commonly by sexual intercourse between a male and a female. Globally more than 16 million people have died of AIDS and more than 16,000 people become newly infected each day. There are now more women than men living with the virus in Sub-Saharan Africa, where close to 60% of all adults with AIDS are women, and 75% of all young people aged 15 to 24 with HIV/AIDS are female.

There are more than 100 types of HPV and each type is identified by a number (e.g. HPV 16). Some types of the virus can cause genital warts and other types can cause cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia (CIN) in the cells of the cervix. CIN usually clears up once the immune system has developed defenses against the virus. In some women the virus remains for a number of years and in a few of these women CIN will develop into cancer if it is not treated.

Oral contraceptives are often used to prevent pregnancy, although women might also take them for other reasons, such as to regulate their menstrual cycle. “The Pill” is one of the most effective non-surgical methods of birth control, although other methods such as “the shot” (Depo-Provera) and “the ring” (Nuva Ring) are also very effective. When oral contraceptives are taken correctly, at the same time every day, the chance of becoming pregnant is less than 1% (1 pregnancy per 1000 women per year of use).

Taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse, emergency contraception can, when used correctly, reduce the risk of pregnancy by 89 percent after a single act of unprotected sex. Effectiveness declines as the interval between intercourse and the start of treatment increases.

Sperm can live in a woman's body for up to six days — possibly seven. And, as long as the semen is still wet, the sperm can survive outside the body. If the semen has dried, been wiped off, or washed off, there are no longer any living sperm.
