Practicing safe sex has a huge impact on the overall health of individuals and communities. Yet, the entirety of many people’s sexual health education involved a mortified teacher putting a condom onto a banana at school. Public figures speaking candidly about the importance of knowing an implant from an IUD are therefore playing an essential role in smashing taboos around the subject. In this episode, TV personality Megan Barton-Hanson – a pioneer when it comes to advocating for openness and honesty around sex and sexuality – discusses the many benefits of practicing safe sex and how knowledge is power. RESOURCES Boots Online Sexual Health DoctorBoots home testing kitsNHS contraception guideBBC news report on STI ratesMorning After Pill/Emergency Contraceptive Pill information Products referenced in the episodeCondomsLubeAdult Toys Hosted on Acast.
