Abstract
Although sexual desire is a biological and instinctive need, humans are unique and creative in satisfying sexual desire. In fact, they modify, correct, and change sexual desire in various ways, depending on the knowledge they receive and their attitudes. In this regard, while introducing three approaches to sexual behavior (the denial approach, the approach of increasing sexual freedom and autonomy, and the approach of moderation and responsible relationships) that are influenced by different knowledge and attitudes in different societies, and each of them modified or changed sexual desire in a different way, we are looking to answer the question of how different knowledge affects the minds of individuals in the field of sexual desire and determines their sexual life? Therefore, this research was conducted using the descriptive-analytical method. The results showed that cognition is not something that goes on in the mind of an individual, but rather, as contemporary research in the fields of neuroscience, archaeology, and philosophy of science shows, cognition is impregnated, implied, integrated, expanded, and distributed. Therefore, in order to establish sexual morality, society and educational centers need to create a social platform for discussion in this regard, exposing individuals to well-founded knowledge with regard to human dignity and a correct and responsible perspective, so that a solid basis of sexual morality that recognizes ideal and morally acceptable sexual conditions is created. Creating knowledge about sexual moral values will be effective in individuals' ability to make moral decisions and properly guide sexual activities, and will affect individuals' moral thinking and attitudes.
