SEPTEMBER 2020

Happy Sexual Health Awareness Month! 

Why Sexual Health & RecWell? Sexual health is "a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality." Since we're here to support your journey to health & well-being, we're dedicated to supporting your sexual health, too. We recognize it is important to have a trusted resource on campus, and we're committed to being that for you. 
Let’s just say sexual activity looks a little different in a pandemic – you know, since we’re supposed to stay 6 feet away from people we don’t live with. Physical distancing puts a major wrench in meeting new people, seeing if you have chemistry and exploring your sexuality. But, that just means you have to be a little creative to stay safe.
Check out our tips for safer sex practices in times of COVID. And, if you do choose to engage in sexual activity at this time – make sure to talk to your partner(s) about what you’ll do to stay safe together (including general safer sex practices like barrier methods and STI testing!) Find resources, free condom locations, STI testing days, and more at gvsu.edu/studentwellness/sexualhealth, or request a sexual health presentation from the RecWell Wellness Team Information (WIT) Peers
