Health Ed's definition
for a sexually healthy young adult:
A person who understands that sexual intimacy
represents various outcomes ranging from pleasure to conception
to transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and who
engages in active learning, decision-making, communication and behaviors
that eliminate or reduce risk for unplanned pregnancy and/or STI
transmission.
This definition is driven by the statement of values
developed by the Sexuality Information and Education Council of
the U.S. (SIECUS), which is listed in the Guidelines
for Comprehensive Sexuality Education Fact Sheet.
