Abstract
Sexual health and intimacy are universal aspects of the human experience that are deeply influenced by culture and community. Unique attributes of the military culture can impact the thoughts and feelings of service members and veterans. These thoughts and feelings may include those about sexuality or self-concept as sexual beings. It is critical to have an understanding of these issues, both policy-driven and cultural, when assessing or treating military service members. This chapter explores some historical, cultural, and policy issues that make military community and culture unique. Special consideration is given to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) issues in this context. The background provided can serve as a context for clinicians trying to understand how military culture influences sexual health and intimacy.
