"If we think of sexual health as a painting, wellness of mind, body and life beyond the closed doors form the strokes that make it a beautiful picture. When any of these strokes is out of alignment, the picture is affected. Asking for help to fix it and make it beautiful again shouldn't carry the weight that it does now. Let's normalise sexual wellness and asking for help."
