What is Sexual Health?

Example: Intersexuality

|
A present example is the pressure being exerted by the ever better organized women and men with physical problems related to sex. For example, many intersexual individuals and groups now use the internet to educate not only themselves and the general public, but also the medical profession about their rights and interests. At the same time, they question many established medical procedures. Among other things, this will also lead to yet another revision of the professional terminology. It is an area where medicine lags behind actual developments. In the past, many of the now well-organized individuals were considered patients as a matter of course. Today, many of them reject this label and refuse to play the patient role. (See also “Intersexuality”.)
