The purpose of the curriculum (whether teaching in person or using digital format) is to teach that the human person exists as a multidimensional being and that one’s sexuality is integrated in all the dimensions. As human beings, we have the capacity to reason, make choices, seek what is true, and to ask questions of ultimate significance. The lessons in the curriculum stress that one’s sexual health depends on the choice to save sex for marriage or one monogamous bond and by making healthy choices in relationships, love, and responsibility. These choices affect the whole person’s present and future well-being and the heritage passed on to future generations.Since sex involves one’s sexuality, is more than an isolated act, is more than a bodily function, is not just a commodity to buy or sell, and since contraceptives?do not always provide protection against STDs, sexual health education must appeal to the dispositions of?the mind, heart, will, and conscience of the learner. Young people can be reached through their hearts and challenged to become persons of character, capable of contributing not only to their own well-being but also to their communities and society.The premise of the whole person learning theory by Onalee McGraw, Ph.D., is foundational for Concepts of Sexual Health, Sex and You!“As whole persons, men and women possess a sexuality that is integrated in body, mind, heart, will, and conscience. The sexual domain is permeated by the intellectual, moral, emotional, physical, and social domains.
