Sexual Education

Many people think that sexuality education stops when we get through our teen years. But with so little sex happening during childhood, this type of education should continue throughout our lives, well into older age. This channel gives a breadth of information about various sexual behaviors and positions with the overall goal of making sex pleasurable as well as safe.

Sexual Health Advocacy: - To advocate for an issue means to speak out in favor of that issue. When it comes to sexuality and sexual health, there are many things for which we need to advocate. We need to advocate for accurate, responsible, age-appropriate sexuality information to be made available to people of all ages especially children and teens. Even though abstinence from sex may be a valid choice for someone, we need to actively oppose abstinence-only-until marriage programs, which provide misinformation as well as incomplete information. Above all, we need to advocate for ourselves when we are working with healthcare professionals who fail to raise the issue of sexual health to make sure that our sexual health is seen as a vital component of our overall health.

Human Sexual Response Cycles: - There are several different sexual response cycle models. Regardless of which we ascribe to, the sexual response cycle addresses the psychological and emotional aspects of desire, as well as the physical experience of arousal, having an orgasm (with or without ejaculation) and experiencing resolution, during which the body returns to its previous, unaroused state. The thing is, not everyone goes through this cycle in the same way. Arousal can take a longer time for some than it does for others. Orgasms are different for different people and for one individual at different times. Some people may reach orgasm when engaging in one kind of behavior, but not during another. There is a wide variety of what's considered normal during sexual arousal and expression.

Oral Sex:- Oral sex is done by using the mouth to stimulate the female genitals. This includes the external genitals (the vulva), as well as the opening to the vagina, and especially, the clitoris. Fellatio is oral sex performed on a man. It is done by using the mouth and tongue to stimulate the penis and scrotum, including in particular the back of the head of the penis, the underside of the shaft of the penis and the skin on the testicles.

Safer Sex Practices: - Pleasure is not, unfortunately, the only thing we need to be concerned about when we are in a sexual relationship with another person. We need to think of the possible consequences of a shared sexual encounter, including pregnancy and/or sexually transmitted infections. This channel addresses how people can enjoy their sex lives more completely, by keeping safe and healthy at the same time. Because there is no say of having 100% safe sex. Safer sex is the term that has been used for years to describe people who engage in sexual behaviors where some kind of effort is used to reduce the risk for sexually transmitted infections, including HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Some risk reduction efforts include using barrier methods like the male and female condom, dental dams, finger cots, and latex gloves. Others include non-penetrative activities like body rubbing instead of intercourse if no barrier methods are being used. Anal Sex: - Millions of women and men of all sexual orientations partake in anal play (rimming, inserting a finger in the rectum during oral sex, using butt plugs or dildos, holding a vibrator against the rectum, stroking the rectal opening, etc.). Anal intercourse involves full or partial insertion of the penis (or a dildo) inside the anus. Many people are concerned about introducing a body part or anything else into the anus.
