My Feminity

By "biological sex" we mean the biological differences between males and females.

Think for a moment about the implications of these biological differences.

For one thing, little boys become used to handling their genitals from the time they learn to go to bathroom.

Little girls, on the other hand, use toilet paper and are careful not to touch their genitals with their hands. The message they often internalize is that their genitals are dirty and they shouldn't touch them.

Think about the biological changes that boys and girls go through when they reach puberty- menstrual periods, hair growth, the development of hips and breasts, deepening voices and so on.

How do these changes affect our sexuality? How about the reactions we get from others as we go through these changes-How does teasing or admiration affect our feelings about ourselves as sexual beings? How do they affect our behaviour?

Now consider how another significant biological factor influences sexuality-the ability to become pregnant.

For women, pregnancy is a public expression of a very private and intimate act. As the pregnancy progresses, even a woman who's very comfortable with her sexuality may seek reassurance that she's still attractive and desirable.

But what about guys? Some men see their partner's pregnancy as a confirmation of their masculinity. But does the male look different or express his sexuality differently as a result of his partner becoming pregnant?
