Talk to your other half
There are things we all really should talk about - like using protection or getting tested. It’s not as hard as you might think to start a conversation about sex, but if you’re a little stuck, you can find tips below on how to be a bit more confident and open.
Some people feel awkward talking through sexual matters - even with their partner. But just explain to them that you'll feel much more comfortable if you can talk things through. It really can be that simple.
