Sexuality
Sexuality means the concern with or interest in sexual activity according to the
Oxford Dictionary. The meaning of sexuality changes from time to time, from
land to land, and from people to people. Social historians hold different
points of view about sexuality relating to what the common people are thinking
especially on the relationship between sexuality and mythology. The majority
think that it is impossible to have a sexual history. However, the social
historians state that sexual behaviour and its significance had changed time to

When they like or fall in love with anybody, they will go on a date with their
targets. According to research, 35 percent of teenagers have had sex in 1976.
