The topics to be covered include a definition of terms, human relations and sexuality, sexual changes throughout life, cross cultural sexual practices, understanding your body, enhancing personal self-esteem and sexual self-esteem, a better understanding of your partner’s needs, and enhanced communication between partners.

The practical aspects focus on self-exploration and self-awareness. Participants reflect upon their life experiences in order to gain a better understanding of their sexuality.
