Sexual intercourse

Sexual intercourse refers to the act of copulation or union between a man and woman. Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships. Sexuality is a big part of being human. Love, affection and sexual intimacy all play a role in healthy relationships. They also contribute to your sense of well-being. A number of disorders can affect the ability to have or enjoy sex in both men and women. The World Health Organization defines sexual health as a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality; it is not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction or infirmity.

Factors that can affect sexual health include

• Fear of unplanned pregnancy
• Concerns about infertility
• Sexually transmitted diseases
• Chronic diseases such as cancer or heart disease
• Medicines that affect sexual desire or performance
