You were probably the kid who fell asleep in the back of your sex-ed class. There’s no better time than the present to get some much-needed nous under your belt. Asking face-to-face questions about sex can be embarrassing, we get it. Luckily, there’s a plethora of information available to sift through at your own pace, and in the privacy of your own home. Start by researching the areas of most interest to you, or you feel you know the least about. You never know – what you might end up stumbling upon. For example, did you know an orgasm can help clear your sinuses? That’s what we call a natural remedy!

As it turns out, you’re pretty average in the sex
IQ department. You have a good understanding of the basics, but could do with brushing up on some of the ner (more quirky) details. If you feel comfortable, getting together with a group of friends that you trust to talk about sex is always a fun occasion, and can also be a reassuring experience. You might just be surprised at what your friends do and don’t know: shared knowledge is, after all, the best knowledge.

For a sex know-it-all, we recommend Sex by The School of Life, a book that goes one step further, discussing topics around intimacy you might not even be aware of. Taking a deeper look into areas including the gaze of strangers, infidelity, and what we really want through sex, this little book demonstrates that we have only just scratched the surface when it comes to talking about amorous activities.
