Maintaining a positive sexual health and having good
relationships means
- Being aware of our sexual rights and making sure we claim
them,
- Being mindful of our responsibilities to others,
- Understanding our own emotions,
- Exploring our fantasies and desires and also our limits to what
we want
- Understanding our bodies and how they work
- Being respectful towards other people and their choices,
- Taking responsibility for protecting ourselves from STIs and
unintended pregnancy.
Good Sexual health means making positive choices for yourself
and your partners.
For people who choose to be sexually active, sex should be
pleasurable, enjoyable, safe and based on mutual respect and
agreement. It means enjoying sexual activities without causing harm
either to you or anyone else. Sex is best when you feel you are
ready - the website Sexual Health Scotland can give
you some further information to help you think about
this.
