Teen Taboos

Teen Taboos

What are teenagers' biggest sexual taboos? In this groundbreaking five-part series, we uncover the forbidden territories of sex and give the lowdown on facts usually shrouded beneath layers of bravado, misinformation and myth. Young people aged 16-18 talk frankly and openly about their experiences of masturbation, sexually transmitted infections, using condoms, choosing abstinence and wondering how they 'measure up' to their friends. All the teenagers – apart from those featured in Programme 5 who have chosen to abstain – are sexually active. Whether they are in long-term relationships, happily single or into one-night stands, or are straight, gay or bisexual, they bring a wide and sometimes surprising range of experiences to the show. Experts are on hand to provide commentary and factual information.

The Condom Question

This film discusses teenagers' objections to using this small piece of latex. Even though young people often know the importance of using condoms, many are too embarrassed, forgetful, or sometimes drunk, to broach the subject of protection. This episode offers practical strategies and solutions to help keep teens safe, including information about all the different options when it comes to contraception.
