Young people nowadays are much more informed about sex and relationships than previous generations, but there’s still a long way to go. Gen Z deserve to be well-informed and need inclusive education about sex and relationships, but also need to feel empowered and comfortable with themselves and these conversations. At Pion, we want to help brands empower young people, and our new guide, Sex, pleasure & the internet, will help you drive these discussions and keep young people informed.
