The emotional side of sex can be much more difficult to handle. Apart from anything else, it’s easy to feel pressured into having sex before you really want to.

Different religions and cultures have different views on matters of sex and contraception and abortion. Your family, your religion and your friends may all have conflicting views. This can make decisions confusing and difficult.

Did you know?

The age of consent in England and Wales is 16. This means it is legal for two people of the opposite sex or the same sex to have a sexual relationship if you are both 16 or over and you both consent to the sexual activity. This includes both sexual intercourse and intentional sexual touching.

Remember, sex isn’t compulsory!

The “right time” should be when it’s right for you and remember if you have already had sex you can still say NO!!

A lot of people have sex when drunk or drugged up and regret it later.

Make sure it’s your choice, every time.
