Sexual Health

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) sex health is "the state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being related to sexuality; it is not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction and infirmity. Sexual health requires a positive, respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence.” If health is wealth, perfect sex health is at the root of a happy family and a healthy society at large. If you wish to attain and maintain proper sexual health, you need to respect and protect the sexual rights of others including your own. Sexual health involves both physical and emotional aspects which can impact relationships and communication between two or a group of individuals. Concepts like sexual fantasies, desire, pleasure, orgasm, masturbation, erectile dysfunction, infertility, menopause and more, all fall under the broad topic of sexual health of a community and an individual.
