THE BIOLOGICAL
SELF
At birth, the sexual genital (penis for
male, vagina for female) is a
biological feature that distinguishes
males from females. Moreover, during
puberty, observable changes in the
human body also known as
secondary sexual characteristics
begin.
When physiological changes are
triggered within the adolescent’s
reproductive system, he or she is likely
to experience sexual urges, become
more sensitive to sexual stimuli, and
feel sexual arousal.
A person should be aware of
his/her sexuality and sexual
attributes in order to make
responsible decisions. Adolescents
need to realize the importance of
having informed choices.
SEXUAL IDENTITY AND
GENDER ORIENTATION

On the other hand, gender is an
identity that is learned and
embraced by individual.

MALE REPRODUCTIVE
SYSTEM
 PENIS
The primary male sex organ. It has a
long shaft and an enlarged tip called the
Glans Penis.

TESTES OR TESTICLES
The organ responsible for the production of
sperm cells and testosterone. It lies outside
the abdominal cavity of male within the
scrotum.
 VAS DEFERENS

The tube that connects the testes with

the urethra. It serve as a passage way
of the sperm from the epididymis to the
ejaculatory ducts for ejaculation
 SCROTUM

The sac of skin that carries the testes. It

protects the testes and is responsible
for maintaining the body temperature a
few degrees below the normal body
temperature.
 SPERM

The male sex cell. It is produced in the

testes and matures in the epididymis
and passes from the vas deferens to the
urethra.
 PROSTATE GLAND

A gland surround the upper part of the

urethra just below the bladder. It
secretes fluids that nourish and protect
the sperm.
 EPIDIDYMIS

Long-coiled tube located at the back of

the testes that stores and carries sperm.
FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE
SYSTEM
 OVARY

The female reproductive organ located

in the pelvic cavity which produces the
ova (egg cells) and secretes the female
hormones, progesterone and estrogen
 OVUM

The female reproductive cell also called

the egg cell. One matured, it unites with
a male sperm to form a fertilized egg.
 FALLOPIAN TUBE or OVIDUCTS

Extend from the uterus to the ovaries.

The primary function of the tube is to
carry the egg from the ovary to the
uterus.
 UTERUS

Thick-walled pear sixed and shaped

muscular organ lies that lies above the
urinary bladder.
 CERVIX

Lower part of the uterus. It directs the

sperm into the uterus during sexual
intercourse
 VAGINA

The elastic passageway from the cervix

to the outside female of the body

SEXUAL CHOICES
 SEXUAL INTERCOURSE
(COPULATION)
is the reproductive act in which the male
organ (penis) enters the female’s
reproductive tract (vagina). Adolescents
couples who engage in sexual
intercourse are usually overwhelmed by
the sensations they feel during the act.
However, if the woman is fertile during
the time of intercourse, pregnancy is
likely to occur and it lasts approximately
nine months before the birth of the child.
Having a child entails a big
responsibility and should not merely be
a consequence of an impulsive moment.
Physical risks to having an early
pregnancy may impact an
adolescent’s development,
including miscarriage, emotional
stress, and health risks to both
mother and infant.
Aside from pregnancy, another
consequence of impulsive and careless
sexual intercourse is the risk of
acquiring sexually-transmitted
diseases (STDs). Among common STDs
are:

Count the days in your menstrual
cycle, starting with the first day of your
period as day 1. Continue counting each day
of your cycle until your next cycle starts.

On days 1-7, you're not considered to be

fertile and can have unprotected sex, though
you may have menstrual bleeding on those
days.

On days 8-19, you're considered to be fertile.

Avoid unprotected sex or abstain from sex to
avoid pregnancy. Or, if you're trying to get
pregnant, these are the days to have
unprotected sex.

On day 20 through the end of your

cycle, you're no longer fertile and can have
unprotected sex.

 COITUS RESERVATUS
Coitus reservatus (coitus, "sexual intercourse, union" and reservatus,
"reserved, saved"), also known as sexual continence, is a form of
sexual intercourse in which the man does not attempt to ejaculate within
his partner, but instead attempts to remain at the plateau phase of
intercourse for as long as possible, avoiding the seminal emission. It is
distinct from death-grip syndrome wherein the man has no volition in his
emission less state.
