Hello! We’re making a theatre show about sex, for families. The Family Sex Show. 

We hope the show will be part of the transformative conversations around relationships and sex being had among families and young people. One among many safe places where children and young people can feel confident to think big thoughts, away from a culture of shame, oppressive beauty standards, queerphobia, and racism. 

We’ve made this podcast, The Family Sex Show Starts Here, as an introduction to that, and to us. This particular version of the podcast is aimed at young people and adults. We’re also working on a version of this podcast that is friendly for children, so check back again soon if that’s something that might be for you. 

 In this series, we explore bodies, gender and sexuality, pleasure, relationships, and boundaries through personal stories, songs, scenes and poems. Then we have conversations jumping off those topics with artists and with Relationships and Sex Education experts.

 This podcast is made in consultation with the School of Sexuality Education. It is a podcast full of thoughts for you to finish.

 For more information, a glossary of terms, or for a transcript of the podcast, please visit www.thefamilysexshow.com
