Going back to sexuality, it talks about the totality kung paano maging babae / lalaki. Woman: discharges
There are ways by which we manifest our sexuality by being male and female Man: wet dreams
There are very distinct features in our body which are distinctly male and distinctly female Avoid foods which are aphrodisiac (spicy foods, oysters). Eat greens (malunggay, papaya, okra). Drink milk
Being emotional, tender, caring is distinctly female. Being strong and authoritative is distinctly male
and honey. Exercise.
There should be a balance because all of us has a tinge of being male and being female. We get all
what is distinctly male and we must combine that to our distinct features as female so that we can say
that we are totally male and totally female
