Lets talk about sex

Are you thinking about or have you started a sexual relationship?

If you feel embarrassed talking to adults about sex and you don’t know what to do or who to ask for help?

Then we may have the answer…a new website - http://www.foryoungpeople.co.uk/ - offers a range of information about relationships, sexual health, contraception and even being a young parent. The website has been set up by the Kent Teenage Pregnancy Partnership, is easy to use and the FAQ section is particularly good, answering questions you may not have even have thought of.

It is easy to brush issues like sex and sexual health under the carpet and ignore them – as it can be hard to talk to your parents or even your friends about the tricky subject of sex but with a website and the back up services that are there to support you – at least you can make a confidential and informed choice about your sex life.

You can also call their freephone number on 0800 282930 for more information.
