Good sexual health means that you’ll be MORE likely to:
	feel better about yourself – your feelings of ‘well-being’
	develop a more intimate relationship with your partner
	enjoy sex more.

You’ll also be at LESS risk of:
	getting an STI (sexually transmitted infection – not a fast car..)
	impotence (being unable to get it up)
	premature ejaculation (coming too soon).

56% of men are dissatisfied with their sex life?		83% think what goes on under the sheets could be improved

There’s no doubt about it, there’s a wide range of sexual preferences in human males. For years scientists have tried to work out whether it’s something we’re born with or whether it’s to do with what we experience as we grow up. Most likely it’s a bit of both.

There’s a range of male sexuality and preferences:

Everyone fits somewhere along this line. Everyone should feel comfortable with their sexuality – it’s an important part of sexual health. It’s up to individuals to decide what is right for them and live their life in a way accordingly. Particularly in the past some gay men may have lived the outward life of a heterosexual male, even having a wife and children.

Sometimes men may know they’re gay but feel they can’t ‘come out’ and tell family, friends or work mates for various reasons. They may feel guilt or shame and may fear rejection, prejudice, discrimination or even violence. Laws are now in place to minimise the chance of this happening but even still ‘coming out’ can be difficult.

Many organisations exist to help. See links section.

All sexually active people have a responsibility to themselves and their partners. There are huge pressures, particularly on young people to have sex:
