Someone’s sexuality is often an important part of their sex life, as it may define who and what you find attractive, and how you choose to express yourself sexually. For some people, sexuality might form a key part of their identity, while for others, sexuality might exist on more of a spectrum and common terms might not quite describe how they feel. For some people, sexuality might be strongly linked to their partner’s gender, but for others, this may be less important.
"LGBTQIA" plus stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, questioning/queer, intersex and asexual. The "plus" is an inclusive term for people who do not feel that they fit into traditional categories of gender or sexuality.
While LGBTQIA plus rights and attitudes have come a long way in recent years, LGBTQIA plus people can still face discrimination and prejudice within society. At axess Sexual Health, it’s really important to us that you feel empowered and supported around your sexuality. Feeling open and able to talk about the different aspects of your sexuality can be an important part of having good sexual health.
You can expect that our staff will be friendly, knowledgeable and non-judgemental, and will be able to offer you advice and services that are right for you.
