World Sexual Health Day: What We Forget to Talk About
Every year on September 4, the world celebrates World Sexual Health Day . The initiative was launched by the International Association for Sexual Health (WAS) to remove taboos from the topic of intimacy and remind people that sexuality is an integral part of overall human well-being.
What is sexual health?
The WHO defines sexual health as a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality. It is not merely the absence of disease or dysfunction, but also:
- respect for yourself and your partner;
- freedom to talk about your desires and needs;
- safe and enjoyable intimate relationships;
- absence of fear, stigma or discrimination.
Why is this topic important?
In many cultures, sexuality is still a taboo subject. Because of this, people often avoid visiting the doctor, hide discomfort or even pain. And they don't know how to take care of their bodies in the intimate area.
Among the common challenges that men and women face are:
- feeling of dryness and discomfort;
- fear of openly talking about needs with a partner;
- incorrect use or complete refusal of contraceptives;
- shame that prevents you from seeking help.
Small steps to great comfort
Experts advise:
- You don't need to visit a gynecologist or urologist just "when something hurts."
- Communication as a couple relieves tension and increases pleasure.
- The intimate area requires no less attention than the skin of the face.
- They are not an "extra product", but help avoid microtrauma, dryness, and maintain natural comfort.
