Body and gender identity, sexual orientation

Abstract

In relation to the topic of sexual health terms like gender roles, sexual orientation are often mentioned. A short glossary of these terms are given in this article. People’s sexual desires and attributes can vary to a great degree which is important to keep in mind when talking about sexual education. If we only talk about cisgender, heterosexual and monogamous people, many young people might feel that they don’t belong, think that the information given does not concern them or the information that they need might not even be voiced at all.
