causes of damaging
sexuality.
Sexuali ty Not Prlvate
Human sexuality is more
than one's gender or a
sexual act. lt is not just a
prívate matter as so
many want others to
believe. Human sexuality
is a total way of thinking ,
acting and feeling.
One's sexuality affects
the way one responds
to
his own and the opposite
sex,
to
marriage ,
to
the
family experience and to
every aspect of lite.
That 's why sex has so
múch impact on human
lives and culture. lt's the
reason why the Creator
commands men and
women to develop it
rightly.
