Document Summary

Topic 1 - introduction to sexual and reproductive health. It is the capacity for enjoyment of sex if you live a life where you don"t enjoy it there"s something wrong with you . An ability to control your sexual and reproductive behaviour. This concept encompasses a lot of things such as rape you don"t have control! It"s not talking about how christians believe that you shouldn"t have sex unless you"re married. False beliefs instead are like, if you masturbate you"ll go blind . Shame and guilt: it"s not that you should never feel shame and guilt for. It is a positive and life-affirming part of being human . For example, no privacy in nursing homes or actively stopping. Our attitudes about sexuality, our ability to understand and accept our own sexuality (the quote is on the website somewhere) Later on it becomes more important fertility issues are a big source of health care dollar expenditure today!
