Sexual health
Today we are more openly sexually active than ever before and supposedly also more educated on sexuality: thus more in tune with our sexual health. There is a whole range of sexual disorders that are either provoked by our sexual behaviours or which can negatively impact sexuality, reproductive capacity and general health. It is worth understanding more about sexual health and how to protect it.
