A complex set of biological, psychological, and sociocultural
variables plays a role in all our sexual interactions.

sexuality is physiological knowledge about how our bodies
work.

is definitely physical, it also involves psychology - our sense
of being.
c. Sociocultural Dimensions - the biological and
psychological components of sexuality are affected by
society and culture. The sociocultural dimension of
sexuality is the sum of the cultural and social influences
that affect our thoughts and actions. Indeed, we are
surrounded by social influences on our sexuality. Among
the sources of influence are religion, multiculturalism,
socioeconomic status, ethics, the media, and politics.

feelings about morality, sexual behavior,
premarital sexual behavior, adultery,
divorce, contraception, abortion, and
masturbation.
Multicultural Influences

Socioeconomic status and
education also influence
sexual attitudes and
behaviors, at least within
the same ethnic group
