Sex and Relationships

Sexual Health
Sexual health issues can be an awkward subject to talk about, especially with people like your parents or teachers. Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are common and are easy to catch, whatever age, race or sexuality you are.

There are agencies locally and nationally who can support you with all issues around sex, sexuality and relationships. The links on this page will direct you to the facts on sexual relationships, and how best to deal with them. You can also talk to your Connexions Personal Advisor or contact Connexions Direct in complete confidence.

Safer Sex
Safer sex is something you need to seriously think about. As well as talking to Connexions, there are places you can go to get free confidential advice. Your mates may think they know the answers, but they are usually unaware of the facts. You need to find out about them for yourself - knowing the facts means that you can protect yourself. A good place to start is The Site - Safer Sex, check out their website in the hotlinks section on the right.
