rescources f/adults?

Unread post by a ds »

Hi,
I'm an adult who reads the site (filling in gap left by minimal high school sex ed). It's been really helpfull! Can anyone recommend other educational sites geared towards adult sex/health/etc issues? My own searches haven't gone so well (mostly pop psychology stuff or worse).
Thank you

Glad to be of help!

Is there any specific arena of information/help you’re looking for?

Def interested in adult* sexual (emotional, physical) health & relationship health, but also would like a general overview of topic similar to what you all do here.
Thank you!

* however that's defined other than "not a teenager"

Hi!

Our Bodies Ourselves just launched its new website: Our Bodies Ourselves Today. There is some great info on there that you may find helpful. Although younger people can definitely find it helpful, it is not only aimed at teens but also adults who want to learn more.

I'll leave this thread open for other staff/volunteers to contribute as well.

Just FYI, the launch isn't until tomorrow, so you might want to wait until then. :). But I am the sexuality chair for that section, so our team has absolutely put together resources there all across the web with all ages in mind.

You might also find some of what you are looking for with the Coral app: https://getcoral.app/

One more: Healthline also has some truly great and inclusive sexuality content, and I often see colleagues of mine as lead writers or consults for their sexuality pieces: https://www.healthline.com/program/sexu ... every-body
