Abstract

 
Organizing sexual desire is always the most important task of morality and moral orientation in sexual behavior is the key to human health and happiness. The aim of this study was to qualitatively study the role of family sexual management in the morality and sexual health of children using documentary analysis. Findings indicate three management strategies (1) adjusting and guiding the sexuality of children (including 6 programs: educating and giving awareness, strengthening faith, religiosity and moral values, teaching the spirit of respect and temperament, institutionalizing the spirit of self-sufficiency, smart and balanced style in dealing with sexual issues of children, regulation of sexual desire with bio-regulation), (2) Nurturing and internalization of chastity (including 5 stages) and (3) Prevention of deviance and sexual dysfunction (including 8 programs: valuation and motivation, creating awakening and awareness, empowerment And skills enhancement, bio-hereditary optimization, provision of protective factors, family supervision, emotional support, family and social care). In a family-oriented approach, parents can play a key role in sexual development and empowerment, and promotion of morality, and thus the sexual health of their children.
