Psychosexual maturity is also reflected in our work or ministry, in what we do and how we face life, how we make ourselves accountable and responsible for our behavi our. Most importantly, psychosexual maturity is reflected in our capacity for healthy relationships and in our capacity for intimacy and communion. This implies that we have a growing capacity to relate in more honest and conscious ways with self, with others and with God (McClone, 2009).
Our experience of sex, our awareness of sexuality, our attitude toward close relationships—all these shape our sense of self. To mature sexually is to become more confident and more comfortable with the ways that sex, sexuality and intimacy are part of our life (Whitehead & Whitehead, 1989).
