Etymology

The term 'sexuality' dates back to the late 19th century, derived from the Latin word 'sexus' meaning 'state of being either male or female'. Over time, the concept of sexuality has evolved to encompass a broader understanding of sexual orientation, gender identity, and sexual behavior. The study of sexuality has become an important field in social sciences, psychology, and health education, highlighting the diverse aspects of human sexual expression and relationships.
