editors’ note We wanted the Sex Edition for 2022 to show more than just the act of sex, but everything else that comes along with it — love, heartbreak, sexuality, sexualisation (or sometimes, a lack thereof), kinks and more. Perhaps it’s been the absence of physical intimacy (thanks for nothing, lockdowns and social distancing) that makes this edition all the more important. Hands up who remembers what a first date is like? Or how to deal with STIs? For many of us, it’s been a hot minute since sex has made it into our weekly routines, so we need this edition now more than ever before. To remind us that we are sexy To remind us that whatever sex you like is perfectly fine To remind us that not wanting sex is equally fine To remind us that sex and sexuality is probably a lot more complicated than we will ever be able to put into words We hope this edition will take you on a journey through love, sex, and heartbreak. Enjoy the ride. Love Callum, Juliette and Kiera xx
