Welcome back to Six Minute Sex Ed, the podcast that helps people talk about sex, relationships, and growing up. Created and hosted by Sex Education Teacher Kim Cavill. Find her at www.teaandintimacy.com - https://twitter.com/sexposparenting - https://www.instagram.com/sixminutesexed/

This week’s episode is level two, making it perfect for tweens, teens, and adults. It’s the first of many Question Box episodes, featuring five questions young people asked me in my sex education classes:

1. Does sex feel good for everybody?

2. Can't you still get pregnant when using a condom?

3. How does the vagina get loose?

4. What do you do if you are pregnant and want to have an abortion, but you mom says no?

5. Is there a specific age that you are supposed to have sex?
