How Do I Maintain My Sexual Health?

  • Understand it - you should understand how to stay safe from infections and spread of disease. Unwanted pregnancies can occur at many stages in life. Regularly seek information, testing and contraception advice as new information, medications and devices are released regularly
  • Use age appropriate services and aids - mens and womens sexual health needs vary with hormone changes. You cannot expect the same mechanisms to assist you at 55 that worked for you at 25.
  • Increase intimacy with communication.  Don’t be afraid to evolve, change or integrate compassion around medical conditions. If you are young, contraception may be your primary concern. Communicate!
  • Testing - regular testing for STD’s - Sexually transmitted diseases, or STI’s, is imperative for maintaining sexual health. Some STI’s do not have any symptoms but can lead to serious conditions such as cancer and infertility.

The key to good sexual health is appropriate behaviour and knowledge for your situation. If you are in a monogamous relationship, your needs may be different than an individual who is casually dating. The secrets to maintaining a healthy sex life are different for every person in terms of what they need emotionally, so communicate - always. Iit is universal that one of the best ways to help yourself enjoy better sexual health is to remain free of all sexually transmitted diseases.
