In the modern world lived in today, it is important for everyone to receive a proper education on the role sex plays in their overall health. Sexual health encompasses factors ranging from behaviour, attitudes, and conditioning, to biological and genetic factors and often deals with problems of STDs, unintended pregnancy and abortion, infertility and sexual dysfunction. It’s estimated that 62% of women over childbearing age in the United States are using some kind of contraceptive to avoid getting pregnant but many are not using it correctly or safely. More than half of the world’s population will have a Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) at one point in their life with some of those STDs being incurable. Many women also don’t know how to care for themselves before, during or after a pregnancy.
