Description
Sexual health is defined by the World Health Organisation as: ‘a state of physical, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality; it is not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction or infirmity. Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence. For sexual health to be attained and maintained, the sexual rights of all persons must be respected, protected and fulfilled. The previous Nottinghamshire Sexual JSNA Chapter was refreshed in 2015 and amended in July 2017. It has been two and a half years since the local authority commissioned sexual health services in 2016 and this chapter has been refreshed to look at the sexual health landscape to understand current and future demands, trends and pressures.
