Sexual Wellness

Happy couple

Sexual wellness is about more than just physical health—it’s about understanding your body, making informed decisions, and feeling empowered in those choices. Knowing how your body works can help you take care of yourself, set personal boundaries, and avoid risks that could impact your well-being.

Understanding Your Body

Your body is unique, and learning about it helps you make choices that protect your health and future. Sexual wellness includes knowing how your reproductive system functions, recognizing changes in your body, and understanding the emotional and relational aspects of intimacy. The more you know, the more confident you can be in making choices that align with your values and long-term goals.

Protecting Your Health

One important part of sexual wellness is recognizing the risks that come with certain choices and knowing how to protect yourself.

STDs: What You Should Know

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can have serious health effects, even if you don’t notice symptoms right away. Some STDs can be treated, but others stay in your body for life. Learning about how STDs spread and how to prevent them can help you make informed decisions about your health.

Morning-After Pill & Its Considerations

Emergency contraception, often referred to as the morning-after pill or day-after pill, is sometimes used after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure to prevent pregnancy. However, it is not the same as regular birth control and should not be relied on as a primary method of prevention. Understanding how emergency contraception works, its potential side effects, and its limitations can help you make an informed decision about your health.
