“Confidence is the key to positive, satisfying, intimacy. Every pavement, restaurant, park should be your own catwalk because, even if you have barely been naked in the shower let alone in front of someone else, and what your body says today isn’t quite what it said (or did) a year ago, it’s yours to OWN IT!”

“Getting your mind in gear for romance, intimacy, a quickie on a night out, can be tough even without having been in lockdown as you are welded to your trackies and a takeaway. It doesn’t matter if you are looking to reignite a current flame or start all over again with new interests, you have to remember YOU need to be your number one fan before anyone else can be.”

“You wouldn’t go running in the wrong size shoe – and you certainly wouldn’t expect a ‘personal best’ if you did… yet some people may not know how to select a size and style of condom that best fits their bits and feels good for their body. In fact, sexual satisfaction may well be suffering as a result of a bad fit.
As part of Durex’s Roadmap helping the public navigate their way to more satisfying sexual experiences this summer, I want to teach people how the special navigation system on Durex packs help you choose a condom that’s the ideal width, thinness, and level of lube to suit your needs, and avoid trip ups and slip ups (or slip offs!).
It’s NOT about just blindly grabbing whatever condoms are closest to hand; instead, personalising choice to optimise protection and prioritise pleasure. That goes for lube, gels and toys too, we need to be clued up on all the essentials and exciting gear on offer to help enjoy finally being able to be intimate.”
