Abstract

At present, society is full of liberal ideas that dominate the behavior of people, often causing an incorrect understanding of sexuality and a tendency to confuse ethics with moralism. The good and the bad do not depend on our subjective or social evaluations, but each person is aware of what is good and bad, therefore, there are good and bad sexual behaviors; In addition, ethics linked to dogmatic or religious beliefs should not be considered, but rather as something independent. Just like every function that our body has, sexuality has its functions that we can not say with certainty that it is good or bad, it depends on how each person uses it, therefore, determining what is ethical and what is not, within sexuality it depends on the training that has been obtained. If we talk about behaviors that are not ethical within sexuality we could mention topics such as; sexual abuse, sexual violence, exhibitionism for commercial purposes, all kinds of deception or victimization, the use of sexuality in a non-responsible way with risk for oneself or for our partner, the exercise of power through sexuality , the teaching of a distorted, unreal and deceitful sexuality. It is important to reflect on this theme based on love, responsibility, mutual trust, dialogue and, of course, the most transcendent and important action that sexuality gives us for a better personal, family and social assessment.
