Introduction
In the previous sessions, we discussed about biological dimension of sexuality. We learn that the human person has biological mechanisms for sexual growth and reproduction, and that depending on sex, these mechanisms differ.
At the beginning of this text book, we also emphasized that these reproductive mechanisms are interpret by the societies, thereby, creating differentiated social standards for behavior and expectation. For instance, since the human female is capable of bearing a child, the society interpret this capacity as associated to womanhood, and thus, sets fulfilment of reproductive role as an expectation among women. On the other hand, since human male does not have the capability to bear a child but has a relatively larger muscular-skeletal frame, the society expect the human male perform productive role and associates this role to men.

Sociology
The term psychosocial is an encompassing term.
It is comprised by two primary aspect: psychological and social. There are myriad of ways in defining these two but in essence, psychological pertains to anything associated with mental process and behavior interaction.
AFFECT- or affective domains pertains to people’s emotions and feelings.
BEHAVIOR- or the behavioural domain pertains to people’s action both observable (OVERT) or not readily observable (CONVERT).
COGNITION- or cognitive domain pertains to people’s thought process such as memory, perception, and information-processing.
Sociology is a field of science which concerns itself with the human person’s realities and experiences as part of groups and institutions, including structures and functions of these institusions, and dynamics of human relationship within them.
It is because while as individuals,
we have our own affect, cognition and behaviour to be aware of,
we are also viewing ourselves in relation to others who also have their own personal preoccupations.
There are some element of our gendered self which are best viewed in an ecological context- that is, in the circumstances in our physical and social environment.
