Quotes and Comments

 

"To climb to the heights, sex education is not enough. We need to learn how to love."

-Joseph & Lois Bird

 

"Nurturing the development of the biological and physical foundations of healthy intimacy is an important goal that begins in infancy. These foundations require the ability to be comfortable and safe in a close physical relationship with another person."
-Bright Futures

 

"Sexual health is more than freedom from sexual disease or disorders. Sexual health is non-exploitive and respectful of self and others. Sexual health is dependent upon an individual's well-being and sense of self-esteem. Sexual health requires trust, honesty, and communication."

-Dr. Eli Coleman

 

"The behavior of a human being in sexual matters is often a prototype for the whole of his other modes of reaction in life."
-Sigmund Freud|Sexuality & the Psychology of Love

"Healthy sexual development involves biological, psychological, and socio-cultural processes. Like all aspects of adolescent development, sexual development occurs both within an individual and through interaction with the environment. Psychological and social processes occur through interactions with family, cultural institutions, and peers, and are also affected by brain development. Adolescent sexual development is likely to be healthy, and to lead to positive sexual health, when each of these processes is appropriately supported in a young person's environment."
-Cornell University|ACT for Youth

"Concepts of family, friendship, and other human relationships are core components of healthy sexuality. Children should learn to express love and intimacy in appropriate ways and to avoid manipulative or exploitative relationships. Empathy and respect for another’s feelings also is an essential component of a healthy relationship, facilitated through effective communication skills."
-Bright Futures

 

"For the sex addict, sexual behavior can be most often defined by words such as driven, compulsive, and hidden. Unlike healthy sex that is integrated into relationships, sexual addicts use sex as a means to cope; to handle boredom, anxiety, and other powerful feelings; or as a way to feel important, wanted, or powerful."

-Robert Weiss
