Sometimes sex is just sex. Lovely. No notes. But "casual partner" is still a terrible little box for the very strange, funny, practical, awkward and occasionally clinically relevant ways people actually have sex. Is it casual now? #STISky #SexualHealth #Casual open.substack.com/pub/comeagai...

Sex is disgusting. Come find out why. This week’s piece is about bodies, fluids, shame, HIV, dating apps, the word clean and why we need to think more about disgust. #SexualHealth #PublicHealth #HealthPsychology open.substack.com/pub/comeagai...

I wrote about Sex and the City, Queer as Folk & the politics of who gets what outcomes when it comes to sex on TV. It tells us a lot about what sexual consequences television was willing to make visible and for who. #SexualHealth #PublicHealth open.substack.com/pub/comeagai...

This week I’ve written about the sometimes blurry line between being at risk and posing a risk in healthcare. It sounds subtle, but it shifts how people are understood and how they’re treated. #PublicHealth #SexualHealth #HealthPsychology #Healthcare #Risk open.substack.com/pub/comeagai...
