What is sex? Why do people have sex?
As you grow up you begin to feel attracted to certain people and want to express these feelings. Something happens in your body when you are with that person or are thinking about them. This is a different feeling from the loving feelings you have about other people. People express these feeling through doing things like holding hands, kissing, and other things that give them pleasure. Hugging and kissing your friends or your family is not sex. But hugging and kissing someone you are attracted to in a sexual way is part of sex.
How does it feel when you have sex?

Doing these things because of pressure from someone else can make sex feel quite horrible.Excited, warm, tingly, thrilled, pleasurable, gentle, loved, wanted, special, happy – these are some things that people feel when they have sex.

How do men and women have sex?
People do different things with each other to express their sexual feelings. They touch each others’ bodies, hold hands, smooch, have intercourse, and do other things that feel good to them. Having intercourse means that the man’s penis goes into the woman’s vagina. After some time semen comes out of the penis. As you know, the semen has many sperms that travel into the woman’s body and can make her pregnant. The idea of smooching and intercourse and touching each other might seem a bit strange to you when you are young and you might wonder why people want to do this sort of thing. Sex is a normal and enjoyable activity that most adult human beings engage in.

Why do our thoughts change when we are 12, 13, 14?
This is something natural. At this time the body begins to become more mature and starts to prepare itself for future sexual activity. Along with changes in body size and shape, there are also changes in the hormones. Part of growing up means that our ideas and interests also begin to develop and change. We become more conscious of ourselves, our bodies, what we feel, want to feel more ‘grown up’ and start experiencing sexual feelings. We also start getting attracted to people, notice how they look, wonder if they will pay any attention to us and want to be noticed by them.
When you see a romantic song or movie it feels like something coming out in the panty. Why does it happen?
When you see something that is romantic or sexy or exciting it is absolutely natural to feel something happen in you body.

During the teen years because the body is just getting used to these new sensations, sometimes you might find yourself reacting like this quite suddenly. With time, you will be more in control of these physical feelings.

Why do we feel bad about our bodies and the way we look, as we grow older?

A positive attitude about yourself will help you feel better about yourself and the way you look.

Do I have to have sex when I grow up? Isn’t it dirty and wicked?
You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. Sex is something that is enjoyed only if it is done out of free choice. Right now it might seem quite strange to you but later you might change your mind. That’s OK. Sex is a way of expressing ourselves and our feelings. It is not dirty or wicked.
Men’s Sexual Problems
In the narrowest sense, male sexual difficulties involve getting or keeping an erection, ejaculating too rapidly, or difficulty reaching orgasm. What is hard enough, fast enough, and time enough (or too long) is best decided by the people involved, rather than by a clock or some arbitrary standard. When you are deciding, keep the following in mind:
- Most men experience difficulty with erections, rapid ejaculation, or delayed ejaculation at some time, and this is entirely normal. When it is frequent or pervasive, one partner or the other usually decides this is a “problem.”
- Uneven sexual desire and dissimilar preferences in sexual style are normal and inevitable in long-term relationships. It is how you handle these that makes the difference.
- Do not confuse the average guy with the Energizer © Bunny. Many men have low sexual desire, too. Just like women, lots of men know what it is like to feel pressured by their spouse’s larger sexual appetite.
- Men’s sexual difficulties usually decrease intimacy, too. When either partner has frequent dysfunction or low desire, both partners eventually retreat during sex into separate mental worlds of worry and frustration. Mind-reading during sex is not quite “the most intimate thing two people can do.”
