Sex & Emotional Health

Sex and Emotional Health has been produced to meet the expressed desire of young people to learn more about the emotional aspects of relationships. It is designed for use in school years 10-13 (Key stages 4 and 5) and is a PowerPoint presentation with four embedded video clips and a printable worksheet called “Love Defined”. The presentation is written from a Christian perspective and is suitable for use in RE and PSHE lessons and in youth groups.

The presentation looks at how young people can protect their emotional health. It shows that although romantic love can produce enjoyable feelings, it can also cause pain. It explains why strong emotional desires can make it difficult to know if the other person is suitable and easy to rush into sexual intimacy or an unsuitable long-term relationship. The presentation discusses why marriage and the keeping of sex for marriage promote good emotional health.

This presentation has replaced our previous presentation – The Emotional and Physical Consequences of Sex.

The script can be found below each slide and is also available on the disc as a pdf file. The presentation is intended to be interactive. It can also be used as a follow–on for classes that have received our ‘Choosing the Best’ and ‘Too Special to Spoil’ presentations in previous years.
