Positive sexuality

A prerequisite for good sexual health is a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and to sexual relations. It is the ability to have good and safe sexual experiences, free from coercion, discrimination and violence. Positive attitudes and feelings for your own body along with good knowledge of body and sexuality contribute to safer sexual identity and healthier patterns of action.
