THE REAL SEX EDUCATION
About this episode

In this episode, accredited sex therapist Cate Campbell and her son Diggory speak to Alice Olivia Scarlett about Asexuality - the lack of or low interest in sexual activity with others. Alice talks about coming out as an asexual, ‘blue balls’ and the debate amongst some as to whether asexuals are part of the LGBTQ+ community. 


Also, in the listener’s questions section, Cate and Diggory debate whether it is ‘okay’ to break up with someone over sex and Cate explains how you can become a sex therapist.


Make sure you send in your sex or relationship questions to our accredited therapist Cate who will answer them on the pod! You can email them to podcasts@hattrick.com or by DMing us on Instagram - @realsexedpod
