Sexual health is a state of well-being that's an important part of overall health and well-being. Sexual health is based on a positive, respectful, and equitable approach to sexuality, relationships, and reproduction. This session will examine why and how “sexual health” may fall short of our patients needs, and consider a framework that includes sexual wellbeing, justice and pleasure as distinct from, but related to, sexual health.
OBJECTIVES:
• Review the WHO definition of sexual health.
• Discuss what “sexual health” means in practice.
• Examine why and how “sexual health” may fall short of our patients needs.
• Discuss a framework that includes sexual wellbeing, justice and pleasure as distinct from, but related to, sexual health.
