Sexual health is a state of physical, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality.

World Health Organization Definition of Sexuality

“…a central aspect of being human throughout life encompasses sex, gender identities and roles, sexual orientation, eroticism, pleasure, intimacy and reproduction.
 
Sexuality is experienced and expressed in thoughts, fantasies, desires, beliefs, attitudes, values, behaviours, practices, roles and relationships. 
 
While sexuality can include all of these dimensions, not all of them are always experienced or expressed.
 
Sexuality is influenced by the interaction of biological, psychological, social, economic, political, cultural, legal, historical, religious and spiritual factors.”
