Let’s talk about sex, say health experts

INTERNATIONAL experts in sexual health are hoping to blow the lid on Ireland’s culture of denial around sex next month.

The Sexual Health Centre in Cork said it is hoped the conference, the first of its kind in the country, will end our “ostrich approach” and foster a healthier approach to sex and related issues.

The rise in the numbers of people under 17 having sex, alcohol and its role in sex and the differing approaches to sex education will be among the issues discussed.
