Finding out the facts
We understand that there's a lot to take in when you begin to grow up and move into the adult, sexual world. That would be hard enough on it's own but it's made worse by the fact that often this information is hard to come by.
People are often reluctant to talk about sex - they might be embarrassed to talk about something so personal, be scared about revealing their ignorance, or just not know where to start.
The end result of all this is a lot of rumours flying around - rumours which often aren't true. That means that when you're younger good quality information about sex can be hard to find.
That's why we're providing this information and advice - so you can rest assured you've got the facts and use them to reach your own decisions.
These decisions are ones you don't have to reach on your own. We can provide support whenever you want it.
All you need to do is get in touch with THT Direct or you can ask our anonymous enquiry service Sex Facts:-
