My Favorite Sexual Health Website

Are you looking for reliable sexual health information and guidance? I have the perfect resource for you: beforeplay.org (a play on the word foreplay). The states of Colorado and Michigan have collaborated on this gem of a website, and they've loaded it with reliable material and advice for both English and Spanish speakers. 

Living in Nevada, I am so grateful that other states are creating this material and making it accessible to the world--including less affluent and less progressive states, countries, and even continents. Human sexuality is at the core of our species, and as sexual beings, it is vital that we understand this important component of our identities. Certainly, decisions that can impact our health and happiness for the entirety of our life course deserve accessible and dependable information to help us form our approaches. 

This website includes so many important components that teens and adults will find very useful. As most Americans do not receive comprehensive sex education in K-12, it is important that we educate ourselves on those things that we are unfamiliar with such as sexual orientation, level of desire, birth control options, gender, puberty changes, and much more.

The material found on beforeplay.org is intended to be used proactively and help people decide on the best course of action before they take the plunge...whether it be having sex for the first time, becoming pregnant, or exploring masturbation. 

So whether you're a healthcare provider searching for resources to share with patients or individuals seeking out information on their own, you can't go wrong with this site. Happy learning!
