So my name's James. I've been a doctor for 15 years in London. I've worked a lot within sexual health. Currently I'm working for Bupa, and I've been with Bupa for about three and a half years.
What is sexual health?
So sexual health means a lot of different things to different people, but for doctors, it's a lot of the diagnosis, management and treatments of infections and other things that can be psychological related to sexual health.
What is the difference between sexual health and sexual function?
So sexual health is more about sexual wellbeing in relation to infections, treatment that you may want to see a health professional about. Sexual function is normally talking about the act of intercourse, if you're having any issues with getting or maintaining erections, achieving orgasm, and those sorts of things relating to the act of sex itself.
