What site to advise teenagers to talk about their sexuality? There are many sites that provide information about young people's sexuality. One of them is particularly interesting both in terms of content and form: Onsexpress
It is a portal of Santé Publique France that offers reliable information on the body, romantic relationships, pleasure, contraception, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), sexual orientation, gender relations …
Pub
A portal of public utility to discuss this topic of sexuality among young people with great teenagers.
Informing young people about their sexuality
In the age of the internet, it is increasingly difficult to communicate about sexuality. There are many ways to do this online. Specialists agree: This can be very detrimental to a young person’s self-esteem if he or she feels that he or she has no right to talk to anyone about his or her sexuality.
The world of media and advertising is saturated with sexual images. The topic of sexuality among young people is one that many parents and educators find difficult to address. The topic is often seen as taboo, with some preferring not to discuss it at all, others struggling to find the words or supports to do so. Onsexpression makes it possible to meet this need by providing a large amount of information that is verified and understandable by everyone.
OnSexpression addresses all topics of sexuality for young people
The site was designed under the aegis of Santé publique France, a public institution under the supervision of the Ministry of Health. Many associations and organizations participated in the writing and validation of the content. This ranges from the Directorate-General for Health and AIDS Info Services to the French Movement for Family Planning and the UNESCO Chair in Sexual Health and Human Rights. Seriously.
The result is up to the task. From the graphic line, to the organisation of the headings and the level of language used, everything contributes to clear and affordable information for the audience targeted by the site. The videos are numerous and the illustrations use the codes known to young people. The site is divided into six main sections:
Sex Anatomy. To discover his body.
First time. With information about this moment so important in the sexuality of young people.
Sex and health. Contraception, HIV and other diseases are discussed.
Pleasure. To deconstruct the clichés conveyed by pornography.
Sex and feelings. Manage the ups and downs of the relationship. Know how to say no.
Sex and equality. Addressing the equality of sexual orientation.
The whole is serious, fed with many sheets and illustrations.
I also liked the DicoSexo with simple definitions of words that young people sometimes lack when they talk about this topic of sexuality. Very useful also and in good place on the front page of the site all the useful contacts: Fil Santé Jeunes, Sida Info services and a whole list of sites, numbers and places to find professionals to talk to about one’s sexuality.
The package is not aimed at young children who will find more suitable resources elsewhere, such as this resource published by the Bayard Presse group for Talk about sexual violence against children.
Internet and sexuality among young people
The site Onsexpress provides a reliable source and useful links for many teenagers. All these young people who are looking on the internet and social networks for answers to questions they have about sexuality and theirs in particular. We know how the canvas can be converted most of the time into a terrible distorting mirror and especially on these subjects.
There are also young people who feel uncomfortable talking about sex or being pushed to talk about it. They don't feel safe doing it.
The aim of OnSexpression is to become a source of information for them, but also for parents, teachers and other adults who want to help young people talk about their sexuality without embarrassment or judgment.
Too fun the proxies of national education. They even block public education sites. It cannot be accessed from high school. I'm gonna have to bother our computer scientist again.
Thanks for sharing anyway!
