Sexuality in Early Adulthood

Captions available

The idea

Sexuality is one's feelings, beliefs and behaviours about attraction, sexual activity and gender identity; it is self-defined and can change.

In practice

Peak sexual activity at about eighteen to twenty-four, though fewer young men were sexually active in twenty eighteen than in two thousand.

Where people slip

Asexuality and abstinence are not defects; sexuality is shaped by biology, culture, religion, family and media.
