National Coming Out Day celebrates the LGBTQ+ community living openly without shame or judgement 💕

The act of coming out only exists because we live in a society where most people assume everyone is heteros*xual and cisgender. Therefore coming out can take immense courage and throughout history it has not always been possible or safe to do so.

For many LGBTQ+ people, coming out is not a one time event but happens whenever they meet new people or may realise different aspects of their own identity over time.

If someone chooses to share their s*xuality or gender identity with you, listen with kindness and show your support!

L**e makes s*x even better and can be used by anyone!

L**e isn’t a last resort but a brilliant starting point to make any kind of s*xual experience more pleasurable by reducing friction, whether you’re on your own or with a partner. There’s really no such thing as too much l**e, no matter your age.

❗ Water-based or silicone l**e can be paired with latex condoms. Don’t use oil-based l**e with latex condoms as it can damage them and leave you unprotected.

Vaginas produce some natural lubrication, but this can vary depending on the menstrual cycle, stress and medication. It’s nothing to be embarrassed about. For a**l s*x, it’s extra important to use l**e as the a**s doesn’t naturally produce any lubricant. L**e ensures both partners are comfortable during a**l, this also reduces the risk of STIs.
