Sexual health refers to the care of your reproductive systems and the sexual function and well-being you experience at every stage of life. Having good sexual health is just as important as maintaining your physical and mental health.

Here are five reasons why your sexual health matters:

1. The quality of your sexual health is connected to the quality of your relationships.
2. Taking charge of your sexual health can help you develop and maintain trust and communication in your relationships.
3. Taking good care of your body and health is an act of self-care. Taking charge of your sexual health also shows responsibility and care towards others.
4. Talking about your sexual health with a doctor or partner can help you affirm and express your identity or sexual orientation.
5. Taking care of your sexual health keeps you and the people you have sex with safe from sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and the human papillomavirus (HPV).
