📣 REAL TALK FOR A SEC 📣
I was so excited to be sharing information for s*xual health month but my brain/body had other ideas.
Burnout has got me, which makes it hard to keep showing up, particularly in spaces that I love to be.

Perfectly said 👏👏👏

⚕️Last month we found a petition online that called for a large chemist chain to stop selling vi*****rs and protect "family friendly" spaces. Which obviously ignited a great chat in the office (and some spicy conversations about not calling out brand names on social media hehe😅)!

Sexual health and wellbeing is an integral part of our overall health, and accessibility for all people is a core part of our s*xual rights. This is s*xual justice!! Having age appropriate conversations with children and young people about pleasure is the foundation of a positive relationship with s*xuality.

We'd argue that, in fact, there are plenty more products on most chemist shelves that are less backed by research and more detrimental to the health, wellbeing, self-worth and wallet of consumers than s*x toys... ⚕️

Today we are learning about s3xual justice for trans, gender diverse and non binary youth.
No matter how you identify, you deserve to have access to s3xual health education, health care and be given respect.
Our gender identity is only part of our s3xuality and we shouldn’t be discriminated against because of it.
S3xual justice is for everyone and needs to be protected by everyone.

Yesterday we found out about women’s s3xual pleasure. While women’s perspectives are few and far between, s3xual pleasure is for all adults!
Let’s work together to de-stigmatise the word pleasure.
Did you know there is a Declaration on S3xual Pleasure? Created in 2019, this declaration affirms that s3xual pleasure is a human right.

Today is World Sexual Health Day 2025.
This years theme is Sexual Justice, What Can We Do?
What is Sexual Justice?
Sexual justice exists when all people have the power and resources to make free and healthy decisions about their bodies, s*xuality, and reproduction, and have equal access to s*xual health services, including education and care. Sexual justice means building a world where everyone can experience s*xual health, rights, and pleasure, free from discrimination, violence, or exclusion.

🫂 The Science of Cuddling

Cuddling isn’t just cute, it’s chemistry in action. When you hold, hug, or curl up with someone, your body begins a remarkable cascade of biological responses that reinforce closeness and wellbeing.

🔬 Here’s what’s happening inside your body:
-Oxytocin (the cuddle hormone): Enhances bonding, trust, and intimacy. It’s the same chemical that helps parents connect with newborns.
-Dopamine: Activates your brain’s reward system, making closeness feel pleasurable and reinforcing the desire to connect again.
-Serotonin: Helps stabilise mood, reduce anxiety, and boost feelings of security.
-Cortisol decreases: Lower stress levels mean lower blood pressure, a slower heart rate, and a calmer nervous system.

💓 Health Benefits of Cuddling:
-Strengthens emotional bonds in relationships
-Improves sleep quality (thanks to reduced stress hormones)
-Boosts immune function by keeping stress responses in check
-Offers natural pain relief through endorphin release

✨ And it’s not limited to romance. Cuddling with friends, children, or even pets can provide the same neurochemical boost. Touch is one of humanity’s oldest forms of comfort. Long before words, there was connection through skin-to-skin contact.

💡 In s*xology, we see cuddling as more than “foreplay” or “aftercare.” It’s an intimacy practice in its own right. Whether it’s part of s*xual connection or a moment of simple closeness, cuddling tells your brain and body: “you are safe, you are valued, you are cared for, you belong.”

So the next time you curl up with someone, remember: your body is quietly giving you a natural prescription for connection, comfort, and calm. Enjoy!
