Sexuality can be influenced by many things

•Sexual self-concept refers to the totality of

oneself as a sexual being, including positive
and negative concepts and feelings.
According to theorists, sexual self-concept
is described well along three
dimensions sexual self-
esteem, sexual depression,
and sexual preoccupation.
• What’s Different Now?

•Typically, people don’t think about how they

developed their sense of sexuality, it just
happens through your lived experience.
Most people don’t realize the importance of
the different components that shape your
own identity until a major life event
happens
 FUN FACT
• “Sex is what we do and sexuality is who we are”
• What Can I Do?
• Finding things that give you control of your life and
give you a sense of accomplishment, purpose,
responsibility, and routine can help boost your
confidence and motivation. This means finding a
reason to get up and get out into the world every
day. This can include a hobby, a job, a volunteer role,
schooling, an exercise program, social activities,
whatever you want!
•Once you are a little more confident, you
will naturally become more curious about
what’s possible and may become more
open to trying different things. Positive
experiences can help build your confidence
further. Exploring your sexuality is a step by
step
•The path everyone takes will look
different and everyone will build
their confidence in their own way.
Finding the resources that are
available to you in your area and
how to access them is an important
place to begin.

• My Role
• The process of regaining your sexual self-view, self-
confidence, and boosting your self-esteem can seem very
overwhelming at the beginning. These feelings are
common especially soon after injury. To gain a better
understanding of yourself and get back in touch with
yourself takes time, a sense of openness, and support
from peers, family, friends and health care professionals.
But ultimately, no one can do this for you — it’s up to you
to start the process.
 PHYSICAL SELF
• Physical Self refers to the body, this marvelous
container and complex, finely tuned, machine with
which we interface with our environment and fellow
beings. The Physical Self is the concrete dimension,
the tangible aspect of the person that can be directly
observed and examined.

, however, this important aspect of our Self seems to have
lost somewhere between the Eastern detachment and
Western narcissism, so much so that sufficient theoretical
development on this issue is lacking. However, directly or
indirectly, the discussion on Physical Self has found a place
in various schools ofScientifically psychology like
psychoanalysis, behaviorism, humanism etc. with some of
its most ardent exponents and followers dealing with the
issue in varying proportions.
•physical body and the external world can be
known only as psychological experiences: I'm
chiefly concerned with the psyche itself,
therefore I'm leaving out body and spirit. The
body and spirit are to me mere aspects of the
reality of the psyche. Psychic experience
is the only immediate experience. Body is as
metaphysical as the spirit.
• Physical Self: The Sun in Darkness

The body that was to be a lamp to self,

One day worms will have
• a horrid feast of It.

Here is the common glory of all human flesh,

That the good and bad, high and low, all must
die.
