With almost everyone under 30 on TikTok or Instagram, and claims of rampant bullying, sexploitation and pornography – is there any way to protect young people from the harmful effects? The social media giants wring their hands but do nothing.
In this episode we talk about a range of issues related to sex education and the digital world, including what young people want to know about, what parents and professionals need to know to have conversations about sex with young people and how to discuss the nuance around consent and related subjects.
Dr. Emily discusses the challenges of consent and the importance of understanding the complexities of sexual interactions. She emphasizes the need for role models who can model healthy relationships and provide guidance to young boys.
In this episode we tackle the issue of consent education and wider sex education for young people today, especially young men. We i.a. discuss why so many young men are scared of having false allegations of sexual abuse made against them.
If your hooking up with someone for the first time – maybe at a party or a night out – how would you get consent? Pull out a contract and ask them to sign it? Ask every 5-minutes ‘is it still a yes’? Confusing right? And we’re the adults here, now imagine what it’s like to be a teenager.
