AbstractThis article will consist of an exploration of the concept of sexual expression and the articulation of this topic in a critical question. We will address topics such as individual expression, which consists of defining oneself in terms of actions. For example: the way you look, the way you communicate or simply the way you behave. Sexual expression will be seen through social interactions and how and where people can relate to others. Sexual expression will be examined primarily in the different types of emotions experienced to achieve sexual expression. The factors that will be examined involve positive and negative behaviors that cause people to form sexual expression. In the article by Ridley, Ogolsky, Payne, Totenhagen and Cate there is research on how sexual expression has been understood today and how it can be articulated with respect to positive and negative behaviors. DeLamater's article talks about the different roles of sexual expression in later life and how it affects us emotionally. These two articles help to better understand the concept of sexual expression and serve as the purpose for this article. Sexual Expression The topic of sexual expression has always been a difficult concept to define, and the definition has changed dramatically over time. The idea of ​​sexual expression can be interpreted in terms of sexuality, ways of communication, or how people present themselves in this world as sexual beings. It can represent a sense of identity and help understand a human's orientation, gender, and role. It does not necessarily have to refer to the representation of an individual but can be expressed within a group or community. The exploration of sexual expression can be seen from a different angle...... middle of the paper ......x Research 49.2-3 (2012): 125-41.Ridley, Carl, Brian Ogolsky, Pamela Payne, Casey Totenhagen, and Rodney Cate. “Sexual expression: its emotional context in heterosexual, gay and lesbian couples.

And do you think our society has changed in terms of openly discussing this topic? 2.) Why is it so difficult for parents to accept their children's decision to this day and why they apply their perspective to their children's thought process to reconsider how they think about what their children decide to do in terms of sexual expression? 3.) Why do you think that having more protective parents is generally better to communicate with parents who are very open when it comes to sexual expression?
