Abstract:
Sexuality is an integral part of personhood, permeating all
aspects of
being. Nonetheless, agreement is lacking as to what sexuality actually
is. The objective of this paper is to examine the usage and
understanding of the term ‘sexuality’, and to extrapolate
from these a
working definition of the concept in its expressed condition. This is
achieved by identifying the defining characteristics of the concept and
considering their existence in a particular context. It
is proposed that
this resultant definition of expressed sexuality represents
a move
away from the limiting nature of previous understandings towards
encompassing many forms of expressed sexuality
