Sexual Health & Safety
Your college life coincides with a time of youth and vitality. Well, maybe not if you’re in the tiny minority of over-70 folks who are pursuing an undergraduate degree – but you get the picture. So nowadays – let’s be honest – you may be just as interested in exploring your sexuality as you are in developing your intellect. And given the pervasiveness of sexuality in our media-saturated environment, the frankness with which sex is discussed, and our natural inclinations, it’s no wonder. Yet the prevalence of sexual topics and the availability of information on safe sexual practices can lead you to believe you already know everything about sexual health and safety. Do you?
