How informed and confident do you feel about sex and your sexual health? Sex can be fun, complicated, confusing, and for some even empowering—or all of the above. Whether you’re figuring things out, wanting to feel more confident, or just curious, it’s normal to have questions (even the awkward ones).

Sexual health isn’t just about preventing STIs or understanding contraception (though those are important!). It’s also about feeling informed, safe and confident in your choices—whatever they may be.

Despite how common sex may be, it’s not always easy to talk about. Maybe you use Google, wish you had someone to ask, or you feel too shy to bring it up at all. That’s where You CAN Ask That comes in.

As part of Deakin’s Student Health Promotion Plan 2023–2025, and in partnership with Sexual Health Victoria, we created You CAN Ask That: a no-filter video series tackling the real questions students may have about sex and sexual health.

Here is one of the videos from the series to give you a taste – you can view the full series and find other helpful resources on the You CAN Ask That webpage.

To keep the conversation going, we’re also bringing You CAN Ask That to campus during DUSA’s Self Care Week (Monday 5–Friday 9 May). 

Pop by one of our interactive stalls to test your knowledge on the spinning wheel of questions, grab a free sexual health pack, or just pick up some helpful resources. Our friendly Wellbeing Ambassadors will be there if you want to chat—or if you’re not sure where to go for more support, they can point you in the right direction.

Check when and where you can find us on campus next week:

Can’t make it to campus?

No worries! The You CAN Ask That webpage is packed with videos, tips and links to free, confidential services at Deakin and beyond. Whether you’re interested in learning something new or revisiting the basics, there’s no wrong time to prioritise your sexual health.

Sexual health doesn’t need to be taboo or tricky. With the right info, you can feel good about the choices you make and confident in your knowledge. Let’s make talking about it feel a whole lot easier.
