What is sexual health?
Sexual health has several dimensions. In addition to our physical health, our sense of self and our sexual self-image, the quality of our relationships with others, and the values we hold all affect our sexual health.
Sexual health also can be influenced by social attitudes, our upbringing and cultural experience, and the ways in which sexuality and sexual expression are represented to us in our environment. And, like many other things in life, knowledge and understanding are essential ingredients in enjoying healthy
sexuality throughout our lives.
