    For feedback, please contact [email protected] Last updated 4-Apr-16 Review date 30-Apr-17 Sexual Health Introduction This constitutes the full section on Sexual Health for the Adults’ JSNA 2016. ‘Sexual health is a state of physical, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality. It requires a positive and 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.’1 Who’s at risk and why? According to the National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles Surveys (Natsal)2,3 sexual health behaviour of the population of England has changed since the survey was first undertaken in 1991. The 2011 Natsal survey demonstrated an increase in the: number of sexual partners over a person’s lifetime, particularly for women, where this has increased from 3.7 (1991) to 7.7 (2011) sexual repertoire of heterosexual partners, particularly with oral and anal sexual intercourse All sexually active individuals of all ages are at risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV, and unplanned pregnancies (in the fertile years). However, the risks are not equally distributed amongst the population, with certain groups being at greater risk. Poor sexual health may also be associated with other poor health outcomes. Those at highest risk of poor sexual health are often from specific population groups, with varying needs which include: Men who have sex with men (MSM) Young people who are more likely to become re-infected with STIs Some black and ethnic minority groups Sex workers Victims of sexual and domestic abuse Other marginalised or vulnerable groups, including prisoners Nationally, there is a correlation between STIs and deprivation.
