The third principle of avoiding unwanted pregnancy and STIs is discussed in length and detail. In fact, this part 1 only goes into reproductive decision making. You would think the conversation would be as simple as “use birth control and condoms.” Not so. Doug has an uncanny way of furthering the conversation in such important ways that have implications for those in committed relationships, casual relationships, teens, adults and parents.

Mormon Sex Info interviews Dr. Doug Braun-Harvey for part three in a 6-part series to discuss the principles of Sexual Health, developed by the World Health Organization.

Many assume this is a simple concept, and yet we see in much of our national discussion today, that it’s much more complicated than we’ve assumed in the past.

Natasha Helfer Parker interviews Dr. Doug Braun-Harvey for part one in a 6-part series to discuss the principles of sexual health developed by the World Health Organization.

The first principle of consent is discussed in length and detail. Many assume this is a simple concept, and yet we see in much of our national discussion today, that it’s much more complicated than we’ve assumed in the past. This is a principle the majority of people agree with regardless of culture, race, socio-economic status, gender, etc. And yet it goes profoundly wrong on a regular basis as we can see by the #metoo movement with so many sharing publicly (often for the first time) where they were involved with sexual encounters that were non-consensual. Such an important conversation with implications for ourselves, for our children, for our relationships and for our communities.

Mormon Sex Info interviews Dr. Doug Braun-Harvey for part five in a 6-part series to discuss the principles of Sexual Health, developed by the World Health Organization.

The fifth principle of “shared values” is discussed in length and detail. How do our values get shaped? What’s the difference between our beliefs and our values? What happens when we have competing values that are in conflict with one another? Or when we have competing values and/or beliefs with our sexual partner?
