Talking about sex and sexuality can be difficult and embarrassing but also positive and exciting. For many of us, understanding who we are as sexual beings means exploring what we believe and how we think about:
- Sexuality
- Gender and gender roles
- Sexual pleasure
- Relationships
- Sexual monogamy
- Sexual orientation
- Contraceptive choices
- Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)
- Safer Sex choices
- Abstinence
Wellness Educators/Counselors are here to provide a safe and supportive space to explore issues related to sex and sexuality. You’ll be able to talk openly and honestly in a judgement-free zone with someone who treats you with respect and honors your inherent worth as a sexual being.
