In honor of National Sexual Wellness Month, we've partnered with @queersextherapy to highlight the importance of an integrated approach to wellness that includes mental and sexual health. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Words from @queersextherapy: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Growing up, I had Physical Education 3 times a week from kindergarten to high school - that’s about 3000 hours of learning how to do push-ups, sit-ups, eat “right,” and measure my “BMI.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I had mental and s3xual wellness education for about 10 hours total, and we never once discussed consent, pleasure, s3xual/gender diversity, or any of the other topics I believe are the absolute minimum. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Those numbers say everything about what our culture values, and what it keeps in the shadows. The message: we care about the visible, measurable “productivity.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This education structure forces us to compartmentalize ourselves, with curriculum that implicitly and explicitly tells us that there is no room for our mental or s3xual health - as if our mental and s3xual health can be placed in a lockbox separate from the parts of us that show up for school, work, and life every day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tap the link in bio to learn more about sexual wellness from @plannedparenthood. . . . . . #SexualHealthMonth #NationalSexualWellnessMonth #SexualWellness #SexualHealth #Sexology #SexEducation #SexPositivity #SafeSex
