Answer to Question 1

What constitutes sexuality and sexual behavior varies a great deal across cultures. Some researchers have suggested that sexual attraction is not simply biological or socioculturalit is an integrated response. Within a sociocultural context, sexual relationships exist within societies that in turn exist within a larger culture and also within a historical context. Among the Khumbo of Nepal, children are considered sexual beings at age 5, when they must begin to cover their genitalia with clothing, behavior that is expected of adults but not the younger children. Therefore, there is no universal standard of normal sexuality or sexual behavior. In fact, one new type of sexual behavior, called cybersex, is becoming more common, as more and more people have access to the Internet.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
