The importance of Sexual health

For decades sexuality and sexual health has been taboo'ed by society.
Sex is a physiological need, and is also considered to be healthy. Due to the lack of a better sexual education system many teens and adolescents fall into various sexual health issues without being able to talk about it.

Love, affection, and sexual intimacy contribute to healthy relationships and Individual well being.
However along with the positive aspects of sexuality there are also  illnesses, mixed emotions and unintended consequences which can affect our sexual health.

An open discussion about sexuality can help us overcome a lot of issues.
This blog will hopefully cover all your needs and neccesities if it doesn't, feel free to hit us up on email or our Facebook page.

Here's to a positive sexual experience for everyone

For me masturbation is a private thing, I wouldn't let any of my lovers see me do that either, but enough about me. I've been going around asking people about what they think about masturbating, most common response I've gotten - "I don't do it!" ,"Ewwww" and something along similar lines. So here are a few health benefits of masturbation for you to go through. Say bye bye to STI's and STD's, - Masturbation has the least risk of transmitting STI's, unless you decide to use a foreign object (wash and clean and use a condom).

Each of the four blood types is further classified based on the presence of another protein on the surface of RBCs that indicates the Rh factor. If you carry this protein, you are Rh positive. If you don't carry the protein, you are Rh negative. Most people — about 85% — are Rh positive. But if a woman who is Rh negative and a man who is Rh positive conceive a baby, there is the potential for a baby to have a health problem. The baby growing inside the Rh-negative mother may have Rh-positive blood, inherited from the father. Approximately half of the children born to an Rh-negative mother and Rh-positive father will be Rh positive. During delivery, the mother's and baby's blood can intermingle. If this happens, the mother's body recognizes the Rh protein as a foreign substance and might begin maki...
