I would like to start my article by defining sexuality. Sexuality; It is important for our physical and mental health and is a pleasurable action that ensures emotional integrity. In addition to being pleasurable, its purpose is to ensure the continuation of the species. A healthy sexual life adds color to couples' lives, provides mental and physical relaxation, and reinforces communication and sharing between couples. In addition, sexuality is one of the most natural parts and needs of human life from past to future.
If we evaluate sexuality in Turkey, it is considered a taboo by the majority of the society, both culturally and religiously. Especially under the influence of cultural pressures, people cannot express their feelings and thoughts about sexuality and also suppress their urges. In this case, the incidence of sexual problems increases. One of the reasons for this is that, in addition to cultural pressures, hearsay and misinformation remain in people's minds. Thus, unhealthy and perverted sexual experiences appear before us. An unhealthy sexual life can lead to psychological problems such as depression, marital conflicts, tension between couples, and loss of self-confidence, etc. It causes problems.
When we look at the media in our country, we see rape, harassment, cheating, sex trafficking, etc. that trigger unhealthy sexual life, are not informative, and aim to attract more attention. We see that there are news, TV series and programs covering these topics. However, the media can play a positive role in imposing a healthy sexual life on society. For this purpose, informative programs can be organized that include information about sexual problems and diseases and ensure that marriages continue in a more qualified manner.
Additionally, in our country, associating sexuality with concepts such as taboo, prohibition and sin not only causes sexual problems to arise, but also causes people to express these problems. It also prevents them from bringing it forward and seeking a solution. Individuals who cannot express themselves, cannot seek solutions to their problems and suppress their impulses also develop deviant behaviors and psychological problems, and this disrupts social health.
Well, s. What is needed for a healthy sexuality?
First of all, information about sexuality is very important in solving problems. Clear information that will make sense of our personal desires and needs and explain our sexual identity makes it easier to solve problems.
Information also leads to the breaking of taboos and enables the person to experience a healthy and happy sexuality.
The person's fears and reservations are addressed. He needs to confront and get rid of his prejudices. As we can understand from here, it is important for a person to know himself and gain awareness.
In addition to knowing himself, it is also important to know his partner and pay attention to his wishes and needs. A self-loving, confident individual experiences sexuality in its natural course with love, understanding, respect, openness and sincerity, without being coercive towards his partner.
To experience a healthy and happy sexuality, accept your sexual problems, confront them and consult an expert without hesitation. Stay healthy!
