I think that we shame people about their sexuality because we're afraid of our own sexuality.

Foremost, women are starting to express their sexuality.

Wow. She is a gorgeous embodiment of youthful sexuality.

And I talked about the weakness of male sexuality.

Psychological scars stemming from moral conflicts... and overt sexuality.

Today I'm going to be talking about gender and not sexuality.

That takes away your autonomous control over your sexuality and anybody who wants to take control over your sexuality does not have your best interest at heart.

Gender and sexuality are often lumped together but they're two different things.

But it's more than just the sheer power of his raw sexuality.

A lot of sexuality education that happens today is so influenced by the baseball model, and it sets up education that can't help but produce unhealthy sexuality in young people.

The key to this whole issue is to understand the Church's view on sexuality.

Remember that children's book where you shake and the sexuality of the parents change?

And it can't result in healthy sexuality developing in young people or in adults.

So remember, when we're thinking about sexuality education and sexual activity, baseball, you're out.

When we give people back autonomous control over their sexuality and say, you are allowed to define your sexuality however you want, you go do it, we give ourselves that same right.

And therefore I will limit myself to only talk about the links between religion and sexuality.

I suppose means something like a woman who uses her sexuality to get favors from men.

Pizza is the way to think about healthy, satisfying sexual activity, and good, comprehensive sexuality education.

This painting is called The Allegory Of Chastity, but purity's not just about suppressing female sexuality.

like a Catwoman type, or she plays her sexuality up a lot, and it's seen as power.

So what if we could take this pizza model and overlay it on top of sexuality education?

Today in 29 states, more than half of this country, you can legally be fired just for your sexuality.

But the funniest thing about all of this is that none of it really has anything to do with sexuality.

We are the only ones who have an erotic life, which means that it's sexuality transformed by the human imagination.

I'd like to talk to you today about a whole new way to think about sexual activity and sexuality education, by comparison.

The reason why I started doing that show, and the reason why people always assume I'm gay has nothing to do with sexuality.

I think it's really simple, nobody actually knows why we shame people about their sexuality, if you take the church out, which I'm trying to do.

It lives very, very deep inside of us and it's intimate and real and scary and personal and we want to and we should protect our own sexuality.

There's language gaps, there's ethnicity and racial gaps, there's age gaps, there's gender gaps, there's sexuality gaps, there's wealth and money gaps, there's education gaps, there's also religious gaps.

So if you look at the statistics, youth between the ages of 21 and 25 are 8 times more likely to commit suicide if they feel marginalized because of their sexuality.

So my boyfriend and I this morning we're trying to come up with a way to illustrate the depth and breadth of human sexuality without scaring you with photos which are scary even to me.

It's just because the night before their parents got divorced, or the person is dealing with anxiety, an eating disorder, their sexuality, or maybe you just happened to experience that person have one bad moment out of a really good day.

You could go so far as to say that I'm professionally not gay, which is weird, because my life revolves around a comedy show called It's Pronounced Metrosexual , where I go onstage, and I talk about identity and snap judgments on sexuality.

In the last 50 60 years we have seen fascism, anti Semitism, racism, apartheid, discrimination on the basis of sex and gender and sexuality all these have come under pressure because of the campaigns that have been run by people to change the world.

what's mine is thine, what's thine is mine, the kind of mindset that operates within a family, for example dominance, whose principle is don't mess with me reciprocity, you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours and sexuality, in the immortal words of Cole Porter, Let's do it.

And the comedy comes along, dealing with a lot of the same areas where our defenses are the strongest race, religion, politics, sexuality only by approaching them through humor instead of adrenalin, we get endorphins and the alchemy of laughter turns our walls into windows, revealing a fresh and unexpected point of view.

Two generations ago, most countries had censors who not only tried to prevent younger people from seeing certain films but who actually banned books. Since the 1960 s, such proscriptions have weakened until, in the end, explicit sexuality, violence, blasphemy while upsetting to some people were tolerated as a part of the enlightened world.

You know, this is the first time in the history of humankind where we are trying to experience sexuality in the long term not because we want 14 children, for which we need to have even more because many of them won't make it, and not because it is exclusively a woman's marital duty.

But if we could create sexuality education that was more like pizza, we could create education that invites people to think about their own desires, to make deliberate decisions about what they want, to talk about it with their partners, and to ultimately look for not some external outcome but for what feels satisfying, and we get to decide that.
