What is meant by sexuality and how it is different from sex?
Sexuality refers to the total expression of who you are as a human being, your
femaleness or your maleness. Our sexuality begins at birth and ends at death.
Everyone is a sexual being. Your sexuality is an interplay between body image,

gender identity, gender role, sexual orientation, eroticism, genitals, intimacy,

relationships, and love and affection. A person's sexuality includes his or her
attitudes, values, knowledge and behaviors. How people express their sexuality is
influenced by their families, culture, society, faith and beliefs.
Sex refers to whether or not a person is male or female, whether a person has a
penis or vagina. Many of you may have noticed on different forms you have

commonly used as an abbreviation to refer to sexual intercourse.

Peck distinguishes between true love, as defined above, and "falling in love". Our

misconceptions about love. Peck asserts that falling in love is specifically a "sexlinked erotic experience"
True love - the will to extend ones self for the purpose of nurturing ones own or
anothers spiritual growth.
Falling in love is not an act of will. It is not a conscious choice.
No matter how open to or eager for it we may be, the experience may still elude
(escape) us.
falling in love is not an extension of ones limits or boundaries; it is partial and
temporary collapse of them
The extension of ones limits requires effort; falling in love is effortless

label those ways so you can understand people a little better.

Why is sexual intercourse the primary symbol of a sacramental marriage, just as
washing with water is the primary symbol of baptism?

Sacramental symbols signify what the sacrament means

These symbols are more than arbitrarily chosen signs
The physical reality of a symbol conveys something of what the symbol represents
The symbol of sexual intercourse and in particular its culmination, orgasm, is not
merely one physical reality associated with marriage.
Instead, it embodies in a real way the entire meaning of marriage.
Crucial to the effectiveness of sexual intercourse as the sacramental symbol of
marriage is the pleasure that it involves.
If sexual intercourse were not pleasurable, it would not work as the symbol of
marriage.
All human person seek to maximize pleasure and minimize pain.
Our search for pleasure, for satisfaction, is what drives our hunger for food, for
friendship, for love, for beauty, for security, for God.
