Your Self Image and Your Sexual Health
Because sex involves both the body and the mind, our self-image can have a strong affect on our sexual health. It’s important to realize – and remind yourself every day – that just as you have a unique mind with its own gifts to offer the world, you also have a unique body that is one-of-a-kind.
Sexual Pleasure and You
Whether we’re attracted to the opposite gender, the same gender or both, the truth is: We learn how to experience sexual pleasure for pleasure’s sake by understanding our own sexual desires and responses.
HPV-Related Cancer
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 36,500 HPV-associated cancers occur in the U.S each year.
Understanding Consent
Consent is an agreement that is willfully given without any external pressure or factors. In order for someone to consent to sexual activity participants must continuously communicate—before, during, and after sexual activity.
Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD)
Sometimes you want sex, sometimes you don’t. That’s normal. Every woman has her own level of what is considered “normal” based on their own experiences and biology.
Dyspareunia—When Sex Hurts
Sex shouldn’t hurt…But sometimes it does. Between 10% and 20% of women in the U.S. experience persistent pain during sex—a condition referred to as dyspareunia.
Orgasmic Disorder
For some women, reaching orgasm can be difficult. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to address the problem and have a more satisfying sex life.
Sexual Arousal Disorder
When a woman becomes sexually aroused, her body will respond with physical and emotional changes. For some women, though, this arousal response doesn’t happen as expected. The desire may be there, but the body or the mind (or both) don’t respond.
ASHA Survey Shows Many Herpes Patients Diagnosed Incorrectly
Think you can tell that a rash or sore is a genital herpes infection just by looking at it? If you said “no,” you’re right. You can’t. And neither can your healthcare provider.
