What does sexual health mean to you?

You said it so good, No one else can come up with any other answer.

(unless their a troll,,,a foolish one at that)

It means looking after my body whilst enjoying good sex with someone I trust.

Sexual Health is loving your body, the bodies of others and the entire body of the community through the use of boundaries, safety, respect and consent.

Sexual Health to me is feeling ownership over your body and decisions - both in terms of asking for and doing what feels right to you (not being slut-shamed, etc.) and being clear about what you don't want (not being pressured, etc.) Both ultimately come down to communication, and both are important.

I agree with what's posted in the original post, but I would have to add more to it. Being able to know what's going on with my body has been important. Genital swells are common but not talked about and when I discussed (tolerable) painful sex with my doctor. She didn't know what the issue was and could have given me a referral for a specialist without knowing what the treatment would really entail. I had enough appointments and diagnostic tests going on that it wasn't something that was a priority. I suspect my issue was 2 fold, and getting one condition diagnosed and treated has helped.

I guess that's a long winded way of including sexual health care, screening, diagnostics when needed and the ability to choose treatment options. I also think it's important to stress here the need to be able to choose a birth control method with minimal barriers.

Having open discussions in communities is also useful. Genital swells are a common attack location for hereditary angioedema but aren't often discussed, even in areas where discussing sexual health isn't a huge taboo. We should be able to discuss sexual health related medical issues as openly as other ones.

For me, sexual health starts with education. Basics would be physical/biological functions of sex, including sexually transmitted diseases and last but not least the wellbeing of the partners you choose. Respect for your own body/mind as well as your partners is essential for sexual wellbeing.

The majority of us grew up in homes where sex was either avoided in conversation or was uncomfortable. Learning from our PE teacher, the internet or through experimentation leaves the majority with holes in our understanding.

All of this leads to healthy communication - in my opinion understanding and communication are the crux for sexual health/wellbeing.
