Morphology

healthy + expression + of + sexuality

The phrase's meaning is directly built from its parts: a B1 learner who knows 'healthy' (beneficial), 'expression' (a way something is shown or manifested), and 'sexuality' (sexual feelings/identity) can infer it refers to positive or beneficial ways sexual feelings are shown. This compositional noun-phrase structure is common cross-linguistically and follows normal English modification patterns, so the meaning is transparent to learners who know the constituent words.

Etymology

Healthy expression of sexuality can be pictured like a plant that gets care and grows strong. The word healthy means cared for, expression means how someone shows something, and sexuality means sexual feelings, so the phrase means showing sexual feelings in safe, respectful ways that help your body and your feelings.
