Abstract
Development and exploration of a sexual identity is a normal and integral part of adolescence. Long term conditions such as connective tissue disorders can potentially impact this development. Health professionals involved in the care of such young people need to be aware of their sexual health needs and have the necessary skills and knowledge to routinely address these in clinical settings. This paper will explore aspects of sexual health specific to connective tissue disorders in addition to those which are generic to any young person seen in any healthcare setting.
