THE INFLUENCE OF FACTORS ON PSYCHOSEXUAL EDUCATION AND THE FORMATION OF YOUTH CULTURE

Abstract

The article defines the influence of factors on the formation of sexual culture in youth and their psychosexual education. A key element in shaping the sexual culture of young people is sexual education, which involves providing age-appropriate, accurate, and comprehensive information about various aspects of sexual life. The authors believe that the primary goal of such education is to promote harmonious psychosexual development, which includes sexual self-awareness, gender-role behavior, psychosexual orientation, sexual motivation, as well as attitudes toward communication with the opposite sex, marriage, and family relationships. This, in turn, contributes to the formation of a high level of sexual culture. The research is based on the analysis of approaches by well-known psychologists such as M. Vovkanych, P. Zimbardo, O. Secheiko, Y. Kashpur, N. Kolombe, L. Kravchenko, D. Logvinova, L. Lyapina, N. Tokareva, N. Pelykh, L. Ponton, K. Fopel, D. Hafner, and others, who view psychosexual development as a complex process of sexual maturation influenced by a combination of psychological, sexual, social, and biological factors. The biological aspect of this process is singled out for more detailed study within the framework of somatosexual development. The article emphasizes that psychosexual development focuses on psychological, sexual, and social factors. The authors emphasize the need for a systematic, comprehensive approach to the study of the attitude of adults to the sexual education of young people and the development of appropriate methodological recommendations. All this requires the training of highly qualified specialists: teachers, psychologists and medical workers, who must possess a number of important qualities. They should be well-versed in all gender-related issues; deeply understand the interpersonal relationships of young people and their psychology; to be able to discuss the emotional aspects of life in an accessible and relaxed manner; to be free from stereotypes about gender issues; have communication skills and be able to inspire trust among young people; to accept sexuality without prejudice as a natural phenomenon. This will allow for the creation of effective strategies for incorporating sexual education into educational programs and providing necessary support and understanding from adults.
