[REPRODUCTION HEALTH DEFINITION ]
Humans are created as men and women, who are distinguished by sex or sex. Sex gives the nature of manhood or masculinity and the nature of feminine or feminine, so that manusai also referred to as sexual beings. Sexual is anything related to sex.

In having sex, women are generally passive and waiting. For women, love, family, and home, it has a more important role than status, career, and effort.
Masculinity and feminine are divine graces that complement each other. "It's not good for the manuisa itself. I will make a helper for him worthy of him. Then God God made the man sleep soundly. As he slept, the Lord God took a rib from him, and then closed the place with flesh. And out of the ribs that he had taken, he built a woman, and brought him to the man "(Genesis 18: 2-21).
Thus God created women, not from the leg bones for stepping on, not from the bones of the heads to dominate, but from the ribs, close to the arms for easy embracing, and close to the heart, to always be loved. Therefore men and women are equal partners, but different. Differences encourage them to attract each other, complement each other and unite through love. Every form of love always contains masculine and feminine elements.
