Sexy is the new healthy

We have a crazy question for you. Breathe. How's your sexual health? Have you thought about it?! 😉

It was World Sexual Health month in September, and we have gotten inspiration and a Sexual Health Guide for you.

Most of us probably think that sexual health has something to do with our bodies.

But the World Association of Sexual Health encourages us to think bigger. Much bigger.

They have created an interesting definition of when we as humans are sexually healthy. The definition comes here:

You're "sexually healthy" when you make decisions that align with your personal identity, goals, values, and beliefs.

Wow!

We celebrate and kick start with a Sexual Health Guide, with questions that can give you clarification, in relation to your sexual health, and pave the way for the "sexy is the new healthy" attitude.

💥 Values ​​- and your sexual health 💥

Start by thinking about which five values ​are most important to you. Next, consider whether there is a match between your values, ​​and how your sexuality is lived and expressed.

Let's take some examples:

• If one of your values ​​is creativity, but your sex life is monotonous and boring, what could you do to be more in line with your values?
• If your value is recognition, but you're in a relationship where you are criticized, is it probably a good idea to work with a more constructive way of communicating?
• If your value is safety, but you are in a relationship where you feel anything but safe - should you continue to be where you are?
• If your value is generosity, but you are in a relationship where your partner is stingy in sharing massages, touches, and kisses – is this perhaps something you should talk about together?

💥 Your personal identity - and your sexual health 💥

You can use the following questions, and check how much you're aligned with yourself, and your personal identity in relation to your sexuality:

1. Do you feel that what you believe, and stand for is respected in your relationship?
2. is it okay if you say no to sex one night, or will you get the cold shoulder treatment?
3. Are your boundaries respected if there is something you don't want to do?
4. Are you good at setting boundaries, or do you say yes for the sake of domestic peace when deep down you think no?
5. Can you accommodate and respect yourself, your desire, and your needs?

💥 Beliefs - and your sexual health💥

What beliefs do you have about yourself and your sexuality, and what beliefs do you have about sexuality in general?

What we believe deep down, has the power to govern our lives to a greater degree than we may even realize.

For example, is your belief:

The best woman in bed is the passive woman.

The woman must be a whore in bed and an angel outside the bed.

A real man is masculine, animalistic, and dominant.

Your beliefs have consequences for you and your sexlife.

Sexy is the new healthy.
