👏 FRIENDSHIPS ARE RELATIONSHIPS TOO 👏 We need to teach young people that platonic friendships are as equally valid and important as romantic relationships. They play vital roles in our lives and require time and energy to nurture them.

We see the topic of consent as the bedrock of any RSE curriculum, across all key stages. Conversations about consent should begin at primary school and continue into secondary school. It should never be seen as a one off, standalone topic. #SHW21

Even if you know the person, or you’re in a relationship with them, you should think of sending nudes as a sexual act and something you need to get consent for every time. If you can’t ask or you don’t get consent then don't send a nude. #STOPCYBERFLASHING

THANK YOU to everyone who joined the fight to normalise dialogue around relationships, sex & disability for #SHW19 . It was a fantastic week and we were so inspired by posts and messages. BUT one week isn't enough. We need to keep talking to end stigma 💪

Lack of foreplay, not using condoms, and unrealistic locations - great piece from @Refinery29UK on why sex on screen is not representative of reality. Including some important reflections from @HazelMeadArt on the detrimental effect of underrepresentation:

Why The Sex We See In Movies & TV Gets It So Wrong For Women

A new study examined iconic sex scenes from 50 films including 'Fifty Shades of Grey' and 'Dirty Dancing' and asked women how realistic they are.

Great to see open use of the contraceptive patch on #LoveIsland to remind viewers that taking care of your #sexualhealth is nothing to be ashamed of! via @HuffPostUKLife

Rebecca's 'Contraceptive Patch' On Love Island Is The Sex-Positive Message We Need

The contestant has been slut-shamed for wearing the patch, but why?
