Sexual health stands for healthy feeling about own sexuality and the way one relates with sex in life. Being sexually healthy is as important as being healthy in other aspects of the body whether physically, psychologically or emotionally. Sexual health also means enjoying sex without being harmed and without harming the partner. There are 3 main objectives to achieving wholesome sexual health:
- Making positive choices and decisions regarding sex. Considering the consequences that your attitudes will have on your personal or social life and in your partner’s. Evaluate if pleasure is worth such consequences.
- Avoiding unwanted pregnancies by making proper use of contraceptive methods every time you have sex.
- Avoiding transmitted diseases through sex by barrier methods (condoms)
Sexual health, not something one thinks about only if already sexually active, but a-way before. And if you happened not to have any sexual partner at the moment, it also would be important as a question regarding your sexual health. Being sexually healthy affects your entire wellbeing directly, since most problems regarding sex life will likely to interfere in other aspects of your life, including your work, studies, interpersonal and social relationships. It’s also important to understand that just by not having any sexual disease doesn’t mean that you are sexually healthy. When it comes to sex, most problems are not only physical.
