Young Women

Is it really true that only young women should take responsibility for sex and relationships and all the feelings and practical stuff that goes with that?

Well sometimes it might feel that way if young men aren’t prepared to take responsibility too. But you don’t have to do it all by yourself. The truth is we all need a bit of advice and support with sex and relationships stuff. Friends and family are a great source of support and you get some good advice in magazines too, but it’s reassuring to know that within this website you can access sexual health services that meet your needs.

Having sex is great if you are feeling ready for it. However, it’s also good to talk over what you want from a relationship and if you feel ready to have sex and what you can do to have safer sex.
