A)An individual's body image is constantly changing. How people feel about their bodies is related to sexuality, and people who have a poor body image may respond negatively to sexual arousal. This is what the client is experiencing. Sexual self-concept determines the gender and kinds of individuals to whom the person is attracted; the individual's values about when, where, how, and with whom he or she expresses his or her sexuality; and the individual's ability to freely choose sexual partners. Gender identity refers to an individual's self-image as a male, female, or transgender person.
