Five reasons to talk about sex
1. Because Britain has the highest rate of teen pregnancy in Europe. Research shows talking about sex means you are more likely to delay having it.
2. Because the rate of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the UK is soaring, and young people are most at risk. 1 in 10 young women has chlamydia. Do you know what it is, its effects, and how to prevent it?
3. Because to stay healthy and safe and make informed, responsible choices you need the right information, for you and your partner.
4. Because talking about sex will help you take responsibility for and enjoy sexual and emotional relationships.
5. Because talking about sex will help you understand yourself and your sexuality, enabling you to become a confident, capable and effective adult.
