Every single day, women are confronted with a whole host of different messages about what they need to look and act like, and sex is no different. Of course, these unrealistic expectations can cause a tremendous amount of stress and make women feel like they aren't "normal." Talking with your friends about these anxieties can help you realise that a lot of your greatest fears can be attributed to completely natural functions. In addition to the information your friends can provide, Professor Coots says that many sexual health organisations have peer educators that can answer your more complicated questions. Whoever you turn to, being able to talk to someone can help improve your personal well-being as well as your sex life. Isn't that what friends are for?
