More Blogs We Love

Here are some more blogs that we love covering the important sexual health related issues that are important to us all.
Although the title of this blog by Simon Blake is ‘Talking of Sex’, it’s more than just about sex and covers the wide range of feelings and emotions experienced by young people. The author says he is passionate about young people’s emotional and social development. In his profile, Blake says: “If we expect the best for young people they will expect the best for themselves, and in doing so we will make massive strides in improving their sexual and emotional health.”
Contraception Education write and develop resources for sex education and relationships education, training professionals and young people in sexual health and safer sex issues. Here you will find details of their services and a round-up of their news and events from around the UK.
Scarleteen provides “sex ed for the real world” and the blog covers plenty of relevant topics, such as dating, premature ejaculation, sexuality and abortion. The posts are written in a clear and accessible style, ideal for the target audience. The other sections of the site are just a click away, including a crisis hotline, ’sexpert advice’ and message boards.
This site promises to go “beyond the birds and the bees” with “sex education for the next generation”. It certainly seems to live up to the billing, with the use of embedded video clips in the blog, and posts discussing sexual references in the music of stars such as Jamie Foxx and Lady GaGa. The posts are well written in a discursive style and don’t waste words.
The sexual health section of www.need2know.co.uk offers comprehensive and well-presented facts and educational information. Thanks to the well-thought-out layout, visitors can immediately access details on HIV/AIDS, cervical cancer, the HPV vaccine and STIs. The key facts are clearly displayed in a box of ‘5 Things U Need2Know’.
This is the section of the National Health Service’s website that deals with sexual health and there are masses of information here for anyone wanting to find out about using condoms, chlamydia testing, emergency contraception, HIV, abortion and getting help after sexual assault. There are plenty of resources and links, as well as videos and even quizzes.
Here, www.netdoctor.co.uk presents all the news on sexual health and relationship issues. Sex and relationships are comprehensively covered in a specific section of the Net Doctor website. All the key points are discussed, with pages covering issues for men, women and couples respectively. Specific questions are answered and there are links to support groups.
This site covers just about every sexual health topic you can think of. All the basics are detailed, as well as sex myths, anatomy, sexual problems and complaints, STIs, safe sex and contraception. Every topic is thoroughly discussed, with multiple links for the user to follow on the subject in question.
This is a site where parents write their own blog entries to share their experiences of parenting a teenager. The idea is that they use their blog as an online diary where they can communicate with their social network, sharing experiences, suggestions, advice and friendly words. Needless to say, sexual health issues are covered.
FPA - Family Planning Association
This is the website of the Family Planning Association, whose mission is to help people in the United Kingdom make “informed choices about sex and to enjoy sexual health”. The site features current campaigns and the latest news, as well as a wealth of resources and advice on STIs, contraception, pregnancy and abortion.
This is a US Sexual Health Network blog entitled ‘Sex and Meaning’. The posts offer a round-up and commentary on sexual health stories hitting the headlines. The source of the material is Dr. Marty Klein’s ‘Sexual Intelligence’ website and newsletter and there is a political and campaigning nature to some of the posts, as you might guess by titles such as ‘Bush’s Parting Shot–Aimed At Your Sexual Health’ and ‘Dear President Obama…’
