Some of the most significant relationships in life are those of a sexual nature. Sexuality is more than what you do with another person sexually. It is an important aspect of your wellness.
Sexuality encompasses:
• the person you feel you are
• your body
• how you feel as a man or woman
• the way you dress, move, and speak
• the way you act
• how you feel about other people
These are all parts of how you are as a person. Everyone has his or her own way of being or feeling sexual.
If you are sexually active and have questions about prevention, concerns about your risks of infections, want to be tested for infections or just have any questions, contact your PCP.
