Sexual Wellness

Meaning

Sexual wellness is a holistic state of physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being in relation to sexuality, extending beyond the mere absence of disease, dysfunction, or infirmity. It encompasses the capacity to experience pleasure, intimacy, and the integration of one’s sexuality into the overall quality of life. In the hormonal health domain, it is inextricably linked to the optimal function of the endocrine system, particularly the balanced production and action of sex steroids and their impact on libido, arousal, and reproductive function.
