About Sexual Health

The World Health Organization defines sexual health as "the state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being related to sexuality; it is not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction and infirmity. Sexual health requires a positive, respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence. For sexual health to be attained and maintained, the sexual rights of all persons must be respected, protected and fulfilled."

The Center for Leadership in Health Promotion focuses on addressing a range of issues related to human sexuality. Want to schedule a workshop in your residence hall, for your group, as part of a collaboration?  Email us at life.skills@oberlin.edu
