About the Show
Sex is part of every teenager’s life. They think about it, they worry about it and they do it.
This bold and compelling new series offers a frank exploration of the love and sex lives of today’s teenagers - presenting solutions to the emotional and physical problems that many of them experience.
Fronted by experts Dr Anita Sturnham, Sam Roddick and Emma Kenny, the series revolves around visitors to a walk-in clinic, where specialists are on hand to offer young people, and sometimes their parents, support and professional advice.
No subject is off limits - from teen pregnancy to sexual performance and genital health - as the series shines the spotlight on issues that young people care about and experience in their love and sex lives.
And 19-year-old Billie JD Porter speaks to fellow teens about specific issues affecting them today when it comes to all things sex.
