| Abstract: | This first part of a two-part paper seeks to develop an existentially-informed approach to human sexuality that was initially presented in an earlier paper by the author (Spinelli, 1996). In doing so, it will focus on an existential response to three key assumptions regarding human sexuality that have dominated contemporary sexological thought: namely, the links between sexuality and biology; notions of normality and abnormality; and the link between sexuality and personality or identity. Further, it will seek to address various questions and concerns raised by those who commented on the original paper as well as by other authors who have approached the question of human sexuality from an existential-phenomenological perspective. In particular, it will consider the issues regarding the defining of human sexuality and the question of choice as understood by existential thought. Key words: Relatedness; Merleau-Ponty; being sexual; existential choice [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
