    2. How did you experience these changes?


     I experience these changes when I hit the puberty stage. There are so
    many changes in my body. Just like Growth of body hair, Changes in
    distribution of my weight and also widening of the hips. At first I’m asking
    myself if it’s normal but as I grew up It is more clear to me now that
    changes in your sexual character is normal to every individual.

    3. How does the society influence the sexual behavior of an individual?


     Individuals are taught to use social clues to interpret sexual intent. This is
    most obviously demonstrated in behaviors associated with flirtation. Since
    sexuality is expressed through means learned by socialization, social
    context is bound to influence sexual behavior. An individual can be
    sexually influenced in a society especially around another person he/she
    can be sexually attracted to, and interact with them by means of flirting or
    foreplay.

    4. Can we really change our natural or innate sexual organ and sexual response?

     An individual can notice early changes in sexual response such as when


    male becomes sexually attracted to another male without any gender
    transition or hormonal changes. However, changing our innate sexual
    organ is transitionally possible but we won't gain the reproductive
    properties of that particular organ. So even if I were to become a trans
    man, I won't be able to impregnate anyone. Also, if I'm a transgender and
    takes testosterone or when I undergo the Hormone Replacement Therapy,
    I can still get pregnant although with lesser chances, but birth control is
    still recommended if pregnancy is to be avoided.
