I have a question about love, relationships or sex

Love, sex, relationships, dating and boundaries ... it can be quite complicated at times. Maybe you're curious about something, feel uncomfortable about something you've experienced, or just want to know what's normal. Whatever your question is, it's not crazy and you're not the only one with questions about it.

What can you do?

Talk to someone you trust

This could be a parent, caregiver, mentor or someone at school. Someone with whom you feel safe. It may be exciting to talk about sex or feelings, but by discussing it you will get clear and honest answers. Do you find that difficult? Then you can also talk to a friend you trust.

Check reliable websites

There are websites where you can read or chat anonymously about anything related to sexuality. Think about:

NJI on boundaries and consent
Here you can read all about what is okay and what is not. What your boundaries are and how to declare them.

Consent = permission
Sex and intimacy should always be voluntary and safe. You decide what happens to your body.

Fun and safe (online) dating
Tips on dating, including through apps or social media.

Chatting with Fier
Prefer to talk to someone anonymously? Fier has a chat where you can ask anything about relationships, sex and boundaries.

See your doctor if in doubt

Have you experienced something that doesn't feel right, or do you have a question you can't resolve? The family doctor can refer you to the POH Jeugd (youth practitioner) for a good conversation or help. Know that this is always confidential.
