What is sex?
Sex can mean different things to different people. At its core, sex is any kind of intimate or physical activity that people engage in for pleasure and connection. It can include things like kissing, touching, oral sex, vaginal sex, anal sex, or other forms of intimacy.
Sex isn’t just physical—it also involves emotions, communication, and consent. It’s important that everyone involved feels safe, comfortable, and respected.
Some people choose to become sexually active, and some don’t – and that’s totally okay. The most important thing is to make informed choices that feel right for you, based on what you want, your values, and your boundaries.
In Curaçao, the law protects young people by prohibiting sexual activity between adults and minors. This helps ensure that young people can grow, explore, and form relationships in safe and respectful environments free from pressure, harm, or exploitation.
