Human love has its expression through sexuality, and this only has meaning if it is integrated in a condition of committed and recipricated love: conjugal love, that begins through the Sacrament of Marriage. Human sexuality is to be lived in the environment of love: marriage. Outside of this environment the person always becomes manipulatable and manipulative, for lacking the essence of relationship: the gift recipricates on itself, the affection and the responsibility for the other.

you are invited to deepen yourself a little more in this theme. I  the below part of the text from the Sacred Congregation for  Catholic Education that addresses this issue.

Sexuality is a fundamental component of personality, one of its modes of being, of manifestation, of communicating with others, of feeling, of expressing and of living human love. Therefore it is an integral part of the development of the personality and of its educative process: ” It is, in fact, from sex that the human person receives the characteristics which, on the biological, psychological and spiritual levels, make that person a man or a woman, and thereby largely condition his or her progress towards maturity and insertion into society “.

Sexuality characterises man and woman not only on the physical level, but also on the psychological and spiritual, making its mark on each of their expressions. Such diversity, linked to the complementarity of the two sexes, allows thorough response to the design of God according to the vocation to which each one is called.

Sexual intercourse, ordained towards procreation, is the maximum expression on the physical level of the communion of love of the married. Divorced from this context of reciprocal gift – a reality which the christian enjoys, sustained and enriched in a particular way by the grace of God it loses its significance, exposes the selfishness of the individual, and is a moral disorder.

Sexuality, oriented, elevated and integrated by love acquires truly human quality. Prepared by biological and psychological development, it grows harmoniously and is achieved in the full sense only with the realisation of affective maturity, which manifests itself in unselfish love and in the total gift of self.

For those that want to educate their children to live in a healthy form of sexuality, this church text is of great importance and is worth checking out:
