“Youth Get It On Air” are Planned Parenthood Peer Educators who feel passionately about providing access to comprehensive sex education for all. While they are trained to teach peer led sex education, they are in no way medical experts. If you are looking for specific medical information, please contact your doctor. If you are in an unsafe situation, please contact the Sexual Assault Response Service of Southern Maine at 1-800-871-7741 for immediate support. We hope you enjoy the show! If you want to reach out to us about anything we discussed today or are interested in working with us please contact us at youthgetitonair@gmail.com.
In today’s episode, we talk about in the in’s and out’s of queer sex, how to find body safe toys, how being “in” or “out” of the closet can affect a relationship and more. Plus we interview the fabulous Ren Morrill of the Frannie Peabody Center to talk all things HIV! (If you want to reach out to Ren directly, he can be emailed at Ren email Prevention@peabodycenter.org)
