Mental Health is Sexual Health

October 11th, 2022 8 pm CEST
How can stress or anxiety affect our libido and how can we support our mental health through conscious sex?

When we talk about sexual health we often factor out mental health. We know the amazing things sex can do for our mood and mind—from the release of endorphins and oxytocin to the emotional intimacy we can feel with a partner. But what to do if we are almost never in the mood due to stress, anxiety, depression or other mental health issues? In this workshop Camilla Storgaard, a counselor in sexology, will talk with us about mental health stigmata and how to integrate taking care of ourselves before, during and after sex. Our mental health has a big impact on our libido, our presence during sex and our needs for aftercare. We will talk about how different mental health conditions can affect our sex lives and what we can do to support ourselves and our (sexual) partners.
