Shaping sexual health in a self-determined way
22 April 2024Your sexual health with s.a.m health
Summer, winter, spring or fall, no matter what season we are in, we are all constantly looking for ways to stay healthy and happy. But what about sexual health? It doesn't just include the absence of STDs, but also a holistic sense of well-being in relation to your sexuality. After all, good sex strengthens your immune system. But even the best sex can sometimes bring unwanted surprises.
Your sexual health
In order to feel comfortable, safe and self-determined in your sexuality, it is important to question your own prejudices and needs. Many people actively strive for physical well-being through healthy eating, regular exercise and preventative medical care. Similarly, we should not neglect our sexual health, regardless of how and with how many partners we choose to have sex.
Self-determination: Understanding your risk
Being sexually healthy doesn't mean abstinence or monogamy, but rather being mindful of yourself and others. Not all sex carries the same risk, and there are appropriate measures for every risk, such as safer sex or regular testing for sexually transmitted diseases. Confidential counseling on sexually transmitted diseases can help you get an individualized risk assessment and better understand the transmission routes and symptoms of common sexually transmitted diseases.
Self-determination: Regular tests and advice
Just like the rules for combating COVID-19, the combination of awareness of one's own sexual health and regular testing for sexually transmitted diseases is important. With services like s.a.m health, testing can be done easily and discreetly from home, and results can be received quickly via text message. Experienced counselors are also available if you have questions about sexually transmitted infections and HIV.
Self-determined: Talk about it
Self-determination and discretion are always important when it comes to health and wellbeing issues. That's why it makes sense to take advantage of the services offered by s.a.m health to manage your sexual health with confidence and support. Talking openly about sexual health can not only improve your personal well-being, but also lead to more security in your relationships. An open and non-judgmental conversation on the topic can ultimately lead to better sex. So, have the courage to talk about sexual health.
