Generally speaking, human sexuality is how people experience and express themselves as sexual beings.[1] The study of human sexuality encompasses an array of social activities and an abundance of behaviors, actions, and societal topics. Biologically, sexuality can encompass sexual intercourse and sexual contact in all its forms, as well as medical concerns about the physiological or even psychological aspects of sexual behaviour. Sociologically, it can cover the cultural, political, and legal aspects; and philosophically, it can span the moral, ethical, theological, spiritual or religious aspects. In many historical eras, recovered art and artifacts help to portray human sexuality of the time period.[2] The biology of human sexuality examines the influence of biological factors, such as organic and neurological response,[3] heredity, hormones, and sexual dysfunction;[4] it examines the basic functions of reproduction and the physical means to carry it out. The biological perspective helps to analyze the factors, and ultimately aids in understanding them and using them to deal with sexual problems. Sexual behavior can be a disease vector. Safe sex is a relevant harm reduction philosophy.[7]
