Your body, your rules: a journey to discover your sexuality
There's a close correlation between knowing your body and feeling good. Your sexuality is legitimate and important to know, explore and respect it.
Why is it so important to take care of your sexual well-being?
Feeling good about your sexuality doesn't just mean experiencing pleasure during a relationship. It means:
- Value yourself and gain self-esteem: Accept your body, with its strengths and weaknesses, and feel at ease in your own skin.
- Say no: Have the strength and the awareness to say no when you don't feel at ease, when you recognize that what is happening to you is not good for you.
- Exploring your pleasure: Find out what you like and what you don't, calmly and without haste.
- Building healthy relationships: Based on trust, respect and open communication.
How can you do that?
- Get informed: Ask, read, have your gynecologist explain everything you want to know about your anatomy, contraceptive methods and sexually transmitted diseases.
- Talk about it: With your friends, with your family or with a professional. Having someone to deal with will make you feel less alone.
- Listen to your body: Learn to recognize his signals and respect them.
- Set your limits: You decide what makes you feel good and what doesn't, and no one can tell you otherwise.
- Beloved: Take care of yourself, your body and your mind.
Why is it so important to prevent violence?
When you know your body and your desires, it's easier to recognize a dangerous situation and protect yourself. In addition, good communication and self-respect will help you build healthy, consent-based relationships.
Remember:
- Your body is yours: You decide what to do with it and with whom.
- Consent is essential: No one can touch you without your permission.
- You are never alone: There are plenty of people who can help you if you need it.
Your sexuality is an important part of you, and should be respected and valued.
