Did you know that a condom can fit 26 oranges in it? It's true, here's a photo:

[never let anyone tell u their dick is too big, if they do, show them this photo and RUN]

Have you found yourself standing in the shower for 20 minutes thinking about questions much like these? Like, why IS the penis shaped like that? How many people are having sex right now? Do people actually buy those giant Tinychat-esque dildos? Same. Luckily, there's this 10/10 amazing website called Play Safe where there are answers to questions like these and more!

What the heck IS Play Safe? Big question, big answer. Basically, it's a home for all things sex/sexual health/body related, it's a place for you to explore new things, it's a place where you can ask pretty much literally anything you like and it will get answered. Play Safe is a NSW health initiative run by the Sexually Transmitted Infection Prevention Unit aimed at 16-29 year olds in an effort to help people be the most comfy they can be and covers a HUGE range of topics, like, STI information, common STI's, relationship advice and what does your star sign say about you?

Play Safe has four major components:

1. The main website - Home to all that cool STI information, social media and links to all the other cool things the initiative does!

2. The forums - This is where the real action is. The forums are a safe space where you can anonymously ask ANY question about, pretty much anything you like and it will get a non-judgmental answer to leave you feeling well-informed. *NOTE: You MUST be within the target age range to participate in these forums!!

3. Nurse Nettie - Not keen on publically posting your sexual (or other) questions/worries? No problem. Nurse Nettie is an Actual Real World nurse who is available to answer any question you have, anonymously, and it will be 100% confidential.

4. Take Blaktion - Really freaking cool campaign for STI prevention/testing for Aboriginal youth in NSW! We love safe, well-informed sex. Getting tested is so important!! Every 6-12 months is primetime to give your body a good once over to make sure you're STI free and/or get the info on how to manage any disease/s!

If I haven't already convinced you to peruse the many, many resources and cool things Play Safe has to offer then wtf is wrong with you? Did you not see how many oranges fit in that condom? There are 26 full-sized oranges in that beauty. 26. Okay but, another thing we have is the new sexy, sexy layout which has been many months in the making (which is the primary reason I'm making this post in the first place). It's just, so sexy. Easy navigation and a freaking AMAZING layout, cool photos and the NSW health government seal of approval. We've got it all. I'm just really in love with the new layout and Play Safe in general really. It's just such an insanely cool place where I can get all the sexual health education high school never gave me.

Please please please if you ARE in the target age range and DO have questions you'd like answered about sexy stuff (or other), come along to the forums!

The Play Safe forum is a project of STIPU (Sexually Transmitted Infection Prevention Unit), part of NSW Health.
