If you need help in person click here to find out about sexual health services. You are welcome to ask me questions but please do have a look at questions I’ve already answered and the rest of the site. There’s a search bar and a menu of different categories up at the top ☝️. Also I’ve created a Coronavirus tag so you can find the posts that might be relevant for you right now.

Most of the materials on here are written by me, Justin Hancock. I’ve been a sex educator since 1999, I do training courses for teachers, and I’m a member of the World Association for Sexual Health. Read more about me and the website.
