FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin Health experts at OneCare Group (OCG) say it is time to address the growing concerns surrounding the sexual health and emotional wellbeing of seafarers worldwide. As explained, the unique nature of the profession, with long voyages and limited opportunities for intimacy, can lead to challenges such as sexual frustration and increased mental strain, including depression, risk-taking behaviours, and, in some cases, even aggression. Highlighting the impact of this isolation, Charles Watkins, founder and Clinical Psychologist at MHSS, commented, “Unmet psychological and physiological needs can manifest as stress, irritability, and emotional withdrawal, turning a seafarer’s voyage into an internal battle against frustration and detachment.” RelatedNews Pilbara Ports: Best practices for gangway related activities Liberia issues advisory highlighting hazards of fumigation using phosphide var jnews_module_21344286_0_6a04e38907920 = {"header_icon":"","first_title":"Related","second_title":"News","url":"","header_type":"heading_8","header_background":"","header_secondary_background":"","header_text_color":"","header_line_color":"","header_accent_color":"","header_filter_category":"","header_filter_author":"","header_filter_tag":"","header_filter_cpt_post_tag":"","header_filter_cpt_tribe_events_cat":"","header_filter_cpt_web_story_category":"","header_filter_cpt_web_story_tag":"","header_filter_text":"All","sticky_post":false,"sticky_post_filter":false,"post_type":"post","content_type":"all","sponsor":false,"number_post":"2","post_offset":0,"unique_content":"unique1","include_post":"","included_only":false,"exclude_post":"21344286","include_category":"","exclude_category":"","include_author":"","include_tag":"3838,458,1686,2468","exclude_tag":"","exclude_visited_post":false,"post_tag":"","tribe_events_cat":"","web_story_category":"","web_story_tag":"","sort_by":"latest","show_date":"","date_format":"default","date_format_custom":"Y\/m\/d","paginati
