The teacher offers the definition of sexuality:

“Sexuality is a central aspect of the human being that is present throughout his life. Covers sex, gender identities and roles, sexual orientation, eroticism, pleasure, intimacy and reproduction. It is felt and expressed through thoughts, fantasies, desires, beliefs, attitudes, values, behaviors, practices, roles and relationships. While sexuality may include all of these dimensions, not all are always experienced or expressed. Sexuality is influenced by the interaction of biological, psychological, social, economic, political, cultural, ethical, legal, historical, religious and spiritual factors ”(WHO definition).

SECTION C – CONCLUCION

Conclusion

Although initially there was a restraint in expressing opinions and opinions on this subject, when they were trained and encouraged discussions at first to be free and unrestrained, thus leading to great moral and personal satisfaction, as well as very clarifying emotions and feelings. in terms of sexual intercourse, tenderness and intimacy in the couple.

On the other hand, because it was a group work, there was a gradual increase in the feelings of belonging to the group, trust and empowerment of all participants..

Recommendation and guidelines

We consider it important that discussions on sexuality take place primarily in the family, then extended to school (during leadership classes / educational projects / meetings with sex education specialists) as sexuality does not only involve sexual intercourse, penetration, but involves emotion, feelings, acceptance and last but not least love.

Communication is essential, especially in the case of hearing impairments, a situation in which the message can be easily misinterpreted, when it is necessary to intervene with images, videos and other means of support, as well as the use of simple, clear and concrete.
