Description
Sexuality affects individuals and society across a broad spectrum of activities through health, but also through factors at multiple levels, such as gender relations, reproduction, and economics. Physiologic, behavioral, and affective measurement of sexuality and sexual behavior is complicated by cultural values and norms but is essential to individual health (including happiness) as well as public health. Cultural or structural norms that stigmatize aspects of sexuality, such as sexual orientation, have adverse effects on individuals across their lifespan, with homophobia being a prominent example of such.
Discuss how one's age, race, lifestyle, and demographics have an impact on your choice to complete a sexual history when working in the primary care setting with women across a lifespan.

Many people are reluctant to speak about their sexuality due to the sensitivity
associated with it. For many people, topics related to sex are disturbing and uncomfortable.
Others feel that it is not appropriate to speak about one’s sexuality, including sexual
behaviour. Regardless, sexual history is very important in healthcare and professionals have
to rise above the factors that hinder sexual history taking (Sowicz & Bradway, 2018).
