Need relationship advice?
Not all good relationships involve sex, and if a relationship doesn't feel right, you don't need to stay in it.
If you feel unsafe in a relationship, access support or advice about relationship abuse.
If you are struggling with issues relating to sex and relationships and need someone to talk to, you can speak with a health advisor at one of specialist centres.
