One of the most effective ways to foster healthy attitudes towards sex and sexuality is through comprehensive sexual education. Teaching accurate information about sex, anatomy, physiology, birth control and more can counteract misinformation or harmful narratives and help young people frame their decisions within a healthier context. Additionally, providing an environment that allows for open communication about issues of intimacy and pleasure can help promote healthy relationship dynamics. By helping young people understand how their body works, how pleasurable sex can be, how to protect themselves from risk or adverse effects of intimate behaviors—while still respecting various belief systems—we can ensure they are informed in order to make the best decisions regarding their bodies and physical interactions with others. This knowledge will further promote respect for oneself and one’s partners while also helping break down stigmas that often inhibit balanced decision making around these topics.

We can best foster healthy attitudes towards sex and sexuality in young people by ensuring they are given accurate, comprehensive and age-appropriate information. This will enable them to make informed decisions in regards to their sexual health. Furthermore, teaching young people about consent, respecting boundaries and the importance of mutual respect is essential in creating a positive attitude towards sexuality. It’s also important for adults to serve as role models who promote a healthy attitude towards sex and sexuality.
