SEX. It’s amazing how such a small word can seem so huge. Sex can make us feel curious and excited. It can also make us nervous, embarrassed, and clueless. Sometimes it can feel like everyone you know is either doing it, has done it, or at least knows a whole lot more about it than you do.

And remember, Play Safe by using condoms and getting tested for STIs.
