What is Sexual Health?

Sexuality is...

  • being male
  • being female
  • caring
  • sharing
  • love
  • touch
  • affection
Your sexual health is an important part of your overall health.  Awareness of your emotional and physical self promotes healthy sexuality.  The more you know about your body, the more you can influence your health, and sometimes, the health of others. 

When you are aware of sexuality, it's easier to understand many confusing sexual messages in everyday life.  The media and advertisers create worlds of conflicting and confusing sexual messages.  It can be a dangerous fantasy world where couples rarely discuss setting limits, or negotiate safer sex. 

So, its important to have the right information - the information that can make you feel comfortable with your body and the decisions you have to make about your sexual health.
