So, let\u2019s talk about sexual health awareness and its importance in our overall well-being\u2026

How comfortable are you talking about sexual health with your family or friends?

September is Sexual Health Awareness Month, and we\u2019re back with yet another episode to encourage ongoing and inclusive discussions about this health concern.

In today\u2019s podcast, we will discuss why this month is important, and when this month goes away, what do we do, moving forward. We\u2019re going to highlight the importance of education, open conversations, and reducing stigma surrounding sexual health, and also cover why men often hesitate to discuss sexual health issues, and how sexual health isn\u2019t just about avoiding diseases, but more about the physical and emotional well-being of oneself.

Although widely considered a taboo subject, join me as we foster healthy discussions, reduce stigma, and empower each other toward better sexual health. Together, let's break the silence, embrace the conversation, and prioritize our sexual health.

\u201cIt\u2019s so extremely important that we understand that the access to this information be available to as many people, and it doesn\u2019t matter their age, their gender, and their orientation. Good sexual health education is important for everyone because everyone benefits from it. There\u2019s no point to be gatekeeping this type of information.\u201d \u2013 Dr. Berry Pierre

Notable Quotes:

\u201cIf you can\u2019t have them [sexual health conversations] with the kids, you\u2019re definitely not having them with the adults.\u201d \u2013 Dr. Berry Pierre

\u201cIt does sound comical, and I say it, but I\u2019m very serious on the amounts of relationships that suffer because just having the conversation doesn\u2019t occur.\u201d \u2013 Dr. Berry Pierre
