adjective sehk-SWAHL Less Common

Usage Note

Sexual is invariable for gender in Spanish — it does not change its ending for masculine or feminine nouns (el acoso sexual, la educación sexual). It only adds -es in the plural. The stress falls on the final syllable, which can catch English speakers off guard.

Examples

"La educación sexual es importante desde joven."

Natural Translation

Sexual education is important from a young age.
