About Sexual Health and Sexuality
Sexual health and sexuality are relevant to all of us - whether
you’re a sexual novice, a sexpert, or abstinent. It doesn't matter
whether you are single, dating, in a relationship; it doesn’t matter
how you identify yourself sexually. Sexuality is part of who you
are, and healthy sexuality is important to your overall wellness.
You should have as much information as possible to make informed
choices about sexuality. The information and resources listed here
can help you make healthy sexual choices now and in the future.
