Being sexually healthy is about feeling good, positive and
confident about sexual feelings and relationship choices.
Being sexually healthy means understanding our own emotions,
being respectful of ourselves and others, along with the ability to
make choices and carry these out. It's not just about avoiding
sexually transmitted infections and knowing about different types
of contraception. Sexual health means making positive choices for
yourself and your partners.
For people who choose to be sexually active, sex should be
enjoyable, safe and based on mutual respect and agreement. It means
enjoying sexual activities without causing harm either to you or
anyone else. You should only have sex when you feel you are
ready - the website Sexual Health Scotland can give
you some further information to help you think about
this.
