Sexual Health

Personal Best
Contains scenes of a sexual nature.

Available for over a year

This week's Personal Best is getting up close and personal... While we seem to be getting better at addressing our physical and mental health ... and we understand the importance of sleep, relaxing and de-stressing ... what about our sexual health? Is it even on your radar?! If we're stuck somewhere between playground sniggering and the prudish Victorian era, isn't it time we normalised sexual health? Gillian Russell is round the kitchen table with Susan, Britta, Sibylla and Valeria talking sex education, sexual health and whether attitudes differ from country to country. Norwegian medics Nina Brochmann and Ellen Stokken Dahl explain why they wrote their book The Wonder Down Under and the importance of more open, honest conversations about sexual health. Richard Forbes visits a sexual health clinic in Aberdeen to find out from consultant Steve Baguley about what brings people through their doors. How much do we know about what the clinics do and would you ever go to one? To what extent has there been an increase in older people attending or is there still too much stigma surrounding them?
