Sexual rights include of the right to experience a pleasurable sexual life, free of violence, coercion and discrimination. Sexual rights include the right to liberty and autonomy in the responsible exercise of one's sexuality. This entails the right to choose one's sexual partners without discrimination, the right to full respect for bodily integrity, the right to express one's sexuality regardless of sexual orientation , and the right to sexual expression that is independent of reproduction.
