What do you wish someone had told you about sex?

It’s okay. You can say it.

The Real Life. Real Talk.® Coalition is proud to sponsor the month-long event "It’s okay. You can say it." The goal is to increase open and honest dialogue about sexual health issues by collecting stories that answer the question, "What do you wish someone had told you about sex?"

Real Life. Real Talk. will model open conversations about sexuality and relationships by inviting a variety of participants—community members, local government leaders, celebrities, and business ownersto submit their own stories through postcards and videos and online.

"It’s okay. You can say it." is happening simultaneously in New Haven, CT; Portland, ME; Rockland County, NY; and Tucson, AZ. Through its advertisements, website, and education programs like Sex Ed for ParentsSM, Real Life. Real Talk. supports parents and other adults as they enable young people to make healthy choices about sexuality and relationships. During the month of October, which is National Family Sexuality Education Month, community partners will host a series of events at local schools and community venues.
