Sexual health is the state of well-being as you experience your sexuality: physically, emotionally, psychologically, spiritually, socially, and culturally. Sexual health is demonstrated in voluntary and responsible sexual expressions that enrich individuals and their social lives. Sexual health is not merely the absence of dysfunction, disease, or infirmity. 
 
Sexual health includes:

• The capacity to enjoy and control sexual and reproductive behavior in accordance with personal and social ethics
• Freedom from fear, shame, guilt, false beliefs, and other psychological factors that inhibit sexual response and impair sexual relationships
• Freedom from organic disorders, diseases, and deficiencies that interfere with sexual and reproductive functions
