It's okay. You can say it. |
 What do you wish someone had told you about sex?
It’s okay. You can say it.
The Real Life. Real Talk.® Coalition is proud to sponsor the month-long event "It’s okay. You can say it." The goal is to increase open and honest dialogue about sexual health issues by collecting stories that answer the question, "What do you wish someone had told you about sex?"
Real Life. Real Talk. will model open conversations about sexuality and relationships by inviting a variety of participants—community members, local government leaders, celebrities, and business owners—to submit their own stories through postcards and videos and online.
"It’s okay. You can say it." is happening simultaneously in New Haven, CT; Portland, ME; Rockland County, NY; and Tucson, AZ. Through its advertisements, website, and education programs like Sex Ed for ParentsSM, Real Life. Real Talk. supports parents and other adults as they enable young people to make healthy choices about sexuality and relationships. During the month of October, which is National Family Sexuality Education Month, community partners will host a series of events at local schools and community venues.
How would YOU answer the question?
I wish someone had told me...I wish that someone had told me anything about sex. I was always told that I could ask any questions that I wanted and my parents would answer them. I had no idea what questions to ask, so I ended up with no information. In high school anatomy class we discussed the physical act of sex and what body parts were involved. No one ever told me about or encouraged me to explore the emotional aspects. - anonymous, Portland, ME
