Sophia Smith Galer on sex education

Sophia Smith Galer wants us to talk about sex. A multi-award-winning reporter, author and TikTok creator based in London, she’s investigated the misinformation we’re all exposed to about our sexuality.

Her book Losing It: Sex Education for the 21st Century is a myth-busting call-to-arms that champions inclusive and equitable sex. On BetterPod, Sophia Smith Galer tells Laura Kelly and Sophie Dimitrijevic that better sex is not only about pleasure – it’s also an opportunity to be smarter and kinder.

BetterPod is brought to you by The Big Issue’s Future Generations team. Through the Future Generations team, we offer a platform for exciting young journalists from underrepresented backgrounds to address the biggest issues facing us today.
