Intimacy Is
Progressive
This lesson demonstrates that sexual intimacy is progressive and students must be
aware of the advancing nature of these steps and the importance of developing
fixed boundaries to keep them from doing something they may not be ready for.
Through a worksheet activity students see that healthy relationships happen in
steps and progress over time. They will recognize that relationships begin with
an outer circle of
Initial Attraction
and some continue to build into the
Foundation of a Friendship
. As a relationship becomes closer, showing
affection, they may cross
The Intimacy Boundary
moving into touching and
holding. The final step is crossing the
Sex Boundary
engaging in sexual
activities.
Students also explore the idea that sex is not just a physical activity it bonds
people together. We are five-dimensional people and sex affects us physically,
mentally, emotionally, socially and spiritually/morally. The activity wraps up
with the worksheet Show Me Your Love that gives young people ideas of ways
they can get to know each other without being physical.
After all, as
five-dimensional people, we want the people we love to know us in all
five-dimensions, not just physically.
