Factors that have a great influence on sexual behavior include the person’s sex and to a lesser extent, their profession of a religion. Different profiles for each sex are given. Some factors that have a negative influence on the psychosexual development of young people are pointed out: the discrepancy between what one thinks and does; lack of knowledge ant myths; the greater repression exerted against woman during the socialization process; etc.
