BZgA-Initiative LIEBESLEBEN ermutigt zum Gespräch über Sexualität

Köln, 01. September 2022. Zum Welttag der sexuellen Gesundheit am 4. September 2022 macht die Initiative LIEBESLEBEN der Bundeszentrale für gesundheitliche Aufklärung (BZgA) auf die Bedeutung einer offenen Kommunikation für die sexuelle Gesundheit aufmerksam. Passend zum Motto des Aktionstages „Let’s Talk Pleasure“ unterstützt LIEBESLEBEN Menschen, über das sexuelle Wohlbefinden und vermeintliche Tabuthemen wie sexuell übertragbare Infektionen (STI) zu sprechen.

Prof. Dr. Martin Dietrich, Kommissarischer Direktor der BZgA: „Offene Kommunikation ist eine wichtige Grundlage sexueller Gesundheit. Für die Kommunikation mit Sexualpartnerinnen und Sexualpartnern sowie beim Arztbesuch hilft LIEBESLEBEN mit Tipps, um auch Themen außerhalb der Komfortzone direkt anzusprechen. Dies trägt zu einem selbstbewussten und positiven Umgang mit der eigenen Sexualität bei.“

Sexuelle Gesundheit: Drüber reden

Die Ergebnisse der durch die BZgA geförderten GeSiD-Studie zur Gesundheit und Sexualität in Deutschland zeigen, dass weniger als die Hälfte der Menschen in festen Beziehungen vor dem ersten Sex über STI sprechen. Auch beim Arztbesuch thematisieren nur wenige die Erkrankungen. Dem Motto des Welttags der sexuellen Gesundheit folgend, bietet LIEBESLEBEN konkrete Tipps, um auch sensible Themen anzusprechen.

Weiterhin Gesprächsthemen: Chlamydien und Kondome

Die Chlamydien-Infektion ist eine der häufigsten STI, vor allem unter jungen Menschen. Ab dem 22. September 2022 informiert LIEBESLEBEN verstärkt durch Influencerinnen und Influencer im Rahmen der BZgA-Kampagne „#WissenWasRumgeht“ zum Thema. Den besten Schutz vor Chlamydien bietet nach wie vor die Kondomnutzung. Dabei ist die richtige Größe entscheidend für guten Schutz. Diese lässt sich mit dem Online-Kondometer auf der LIEBESLEBEN-Website www.liebesleben.de/fuer-alle/kondome/kondomgroessen/ ermitteln.

Tag der sexuellen GesundheitInfo- und Mitmachstand – Presse MP/VB 30.8.22

Ein Informations- und Mitmachstand findet zum Tag der sexuellen Gesundheit am Vierröhrenbrunnen in Würzburg am 6. September von 14 bis 18 Uhr statt. Folgende Informationen sind einer Pressemitteilung des Landratsamtes Würzburg entnommen: Wir leben in einer schnelllebigen Welt, in der Informationen jederzeit und beinahe unbegrenzt zur Verfügung stehen. Die Annahme liegt nahe, dieses Wissen sei den meisten Menschen bekannt und umsetzbar. 

Die Erfahrungen der Berater und Beraterinnen der vier Würzburger Fachstellen, HIV/Aids-Beratungsstelle Unterfranken der Caritas, Gesundheitsamt für Stadt und Landkreis Würzburg, katholische Beratungsstelle für Schwangerschaftsfragen im SkF und pro familia Beratungsstelle Würzburg, ergeben ein anderes Bild. 

Arbeitskreis gegründet 

Sie gründeten daher 2019 den Arbeitskreis „Sexuelle Gesundheit“ und haben es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, die psychosoziale Beratung und Begleitung zu den Themen Liebe, Partnerschaft, Schwangerschaft und sexuell übertragbare Infektionen in Würzburg und Umgebung langfristig zu verbessern. 

„Sexuelle Gesundheit ist untrennbar mit Gesundheit insgesamt, mit Wohlbefinden und Lebensqualität verbunden. Sie ist ein Zustand des körperlichen, emotionalen, mentalen und sozialen Wohlbefindens in Bezug auf die Sexualität (…). Sexuelle Gesundheit setzt eine positive und respektvolle Haltung zu Sexualität und sexuellen Beziehungen voraus sowie die Möglichkeit, angenehme und sichere sexuelle Erfahrungen zu machen, (…).“ (WHO 2021) 

Für den diesjährigen Welttag der sexuellen Gesundheit, der jährlich am 4. September stattfindet, hat sich der Arbeitskreis eine besondere Aktion einfallen lassen. Die Mitarbeiter und Mitarbeiterinnen der Fachberatungsstellen geben Wissen „to go“ weiter. Am 6. September werden sie am Vierröhrenbrunnen in Würzburg für Fragen zur sexuellen Gesundheit zur Verfügung stehen. 

Interessierte haben die Möglichkeit, ihr Wissen an einem Glücksrad und einem Quiz zu testen und aufzufrischen, also „to go“ zu erwerben und mit nach Hause zu nehmen. Die Mitarbeitenden der Fachberatungsstellen stehen für Rückfragen und Austausch direkt zur Verfügung. (rhe)

ISSM-WAS Free Webinar:
Sexual pleasure in Clinical Settings 

 When: Friday, September 16, 2022, at 6 pm UCT.
 
Sexual pleasure is often overlapped with the experience of orgasm, a fallacy that fails to grasp the complexity of this important sexual outcome and as the main motivation for sexual activity.

Sexual pleasure has recently gained prominence as a fundamental human right, and it is now the focus of sexual justice advocacy and research. However, it has largely been overlooked as the primary or even secondary outcome of clinical intervention.  

In this webinar, we claim to call attention to the importance that clinicians need to pay to sexual pleasure.

Celebrating WSHD in North America! The goal has always been for WSHD to become a day where anyone, from anywhere, can host or participate in an event. That is exactly what is happening in North America! Dr Sara Nasserzadeh has been hosting WSHD events in New York City with a group of volunteers since 2013. Stanford has an organising committee that meets each year to decide how to serve their community in light of the themes chosen by WAS. They make WSHD a celebration and provide an opportunity for people to become acquainted with the declarations and WAS documents, as well as to build a shared community around sexual health that extends beyond the state of being disease free. To encourage more public participation, they created a centralised Facebook page that combines information about all US WSHD events. Congratulations on the great work around WSHD!

1. WAS Declaration on
Sexual Pleasure
What is Sexual Pleasure? The World Association for Sexual Health developed the Sexual Pleasure Declaration as a call to action. It was presented at the World Congress in Mexico City in 2019 and finally ratified by the General Assembly of WAS in September 2021 during the online WAS congress, hosted from Cape Town.  It states: “Sexual pleasure is the physical and/or psychological satisfaction and enjoyment derived from shared or solitary erotic experiences, including thoughts, fantasies, dreams, emotions, and feelings.” 
 To quote directly from the WAS Sexual Pleasure Declaration, on World Sexual Health Day, WAS wants to reaffirm the following: 
 “Self-determination, consent, safety, privacy, confidence and the ability to communicate and negotiate sexual relations are key enabling factors for pleasure to contribute to sexual health and well-being. Sexual pleasure should be exercised within the context of sexual rights, particularly the rights to equality and non-discrimination, autonomy and bodily integrity, the right to the highest attainable standard of health and freedom of expression. The experiences of human sexual pleasure are diverse and sexual rights ensure that pleasure is a positive experience for all concerned and not obtained by violating other people’s human rights and well-being.”
