“性健康是指涉及性(sexuality)的身体、情感、精神和社会适应的完好状态；它不仅仅是指没有疾病、无功能障碍或身体不虚弱。性健康需要积极地和敬重地处理有关性的事物和性关系，也需要具有愉悦而安全的性体验的能力，没有性强制、性歧视和性暴力。为了获得和维持性健康，每一个人的所有性权利必须得到尊重、保护和满足。”

"Sexual health is a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being related to sexuality; it is not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction or infirmity. Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence. For sexual health to be attained and maintained, the sexual rights of all persons must be respected, protected and fulfilled."
