Sexual health is a state
of physical, emotional, mental and social
wellbeing in relation to sexuality; it is not
merely the absence of disease, dysfunction or
infirmity. Sexual health requires a positive and
respectful approach to sexuality and sexual
relationships, as well as the possibility of
having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences,
free of coercion, discrimination and violence. (WHO
working definition, 2002)
