Sexuality is a source of joy in life, of well-being and health. Everyone should have equal opportunities to develop a healthy sexuality. A confident sexuality free from prejudices, discrimination, force and violence is healthy. Sexuality is a strong force in our lives. As all strong forces, it may of course be abused and used for the wrong purpose. But sexuality based on knowledge and mutual respect may be a source of joy, power, pleasure and intimacy.

As most joys and pleasures, sex involves certain risks, and it is important to be protected from unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmittable diseases. Therefore, always use a condom when having casual sex!
