A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to a attend a small event to "discuss women's sexual wellbeing in today's culture and the myths associated with this subject". It's an interesting topic and one which I could debate on for hours when I have an appropriate space filled with interested people, so I said... Continue Reading →

FPA: Talking sense about sex
In an age when many people erroneously confuse good sex education with the idea that this can somehow 'corrupt' the nation's children, talking about sex is still often seen as taboo.

Rarely Wears Lipstick Awards 2013
