Now that we know the 6 Principles of Sexual Health, it's time to create our own Sexual Health Plan. Just like physical fitness, if we want to get healthy, it helps to develop a plan.

And our ability to succeed in following the plan means we need to have clarity around our values so that our plan is in alignment with them.

"If anyone knew what I've done, they would be appalled."
