What is Healthy Sexuality?
During my work in public health at the Centers of Disease Control, I had the opportunity to research the effects of Healthy Sexuality as a prevention mechanism for violence against women.
At Boulder Professional Women's (BPW) Young Careerist competition, I spoke about the elements of Healthy Sexuality, defined as:

-Sexual Health and Reproduction
-Intimacy with self and others
-Gender
-Sexual Orientation
-Body Image
-Pleasure
