CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Sexuality is a compelling aspect of being human. Sexual desires and reactions constitute a natural built-in-part of how our bodies work. In many studies, sexuality has been defined as a central aspect of being human throughout life (Lindy and Cowenhoven, 2001 & Action Health Incorporated (AHI), 2003). According to World Health Organization (WHO, 2002), sexuality encompasses sex, gender identities and roles, sexual orientation, pleasure, intimacy and reproduction. Thus, sexuality refers to the totality of a human being. This includes a person’s experiences, thoughts, fantacies, desires, beliefs, attitudes, behaviours, practices, roles and relationships.
However, sexuality has five broad components, namely (1) human Development: This is characterized by the interrelationship between physical, emotional, social and intellectual growth. Examples are reproductive physiology and anatomy, growth and development and others. (2)Emotions and relationships which refer to the ability of and need by human beings to experience emotional closeness to others and have it returned. Examples can be seen in families, friendships, among others; (3)Sexual Health requires specific information, attitudes and actions one should have and display to avoid the unwanted consequences of sexual behaviour. It includes the care and maintenance of the sexual organs, attitudes and behaviours related to reproduction and health consequences of sexual behaviour, while (4)Sexual behaviour boarders on the variety of ways human beings express their sexuality. This includes masturbation, shared sexual behaviour, abstinence, human sexual response and fantasy (5)Sexual violence is concerned with an abusive or unjust use of power that has a sexual element or intent. Examples are sexual abuse and incest, rape, manipulation through sex and sexual harassment.
Based on the above definitions and descriptions, sexuality can be summed up as such a broad term encompassing many facets of who we are. In fact, sexuality is a process that evolves throughout our lives, an active inseparable part of who we are. Thus, in this study, sexuality means the totality of a person from cradle to grave, consisting of many interrelated factors, among which is sexual behaviour. Sexual behaviour is the various ways a human being experiences and expresses sexual pleasure with or without a partner. Through recent studies (sexuality Information and Education Council of United States (SIECUS) 2002, Ifelunni and Okorie 2003, Ezedum 2003, Action Health Incorporated’ 2005, Alisigwe 2006, Olujide 2009, Ugoji 2009 and others), data were gathered about the specific ways human beings including the young persons exhibit different levels of sexual behaviour. These include - Masturbation which is the stimulation of genitals, it can be engaged with a partner in form of mutual masturbation. Shared sexual behaviour involves having sexual activities with another person. Other forms of sexual behaviours are- stroking (hugging, touching, holding hands, kissing on the lips or other parts of the body), wearing of skimpy dresses (clothes that do not cover much of the body, alias sagging), sexual intercourse (anal, vaginal or oral) means the insertion of the erect penis into the vagina; abstinence means not engaging in all forms of sexual intercourse. Human sexual response refers to the body response of men and women to sexual stimulation, Sexual fantasy means performing various sex acts in different places or with different persons through the free play of imagination (day dreaming).
