About Sex Sense
Knowledge is empowerment, and Options is committed to helping individuals make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health. Through workshops, community outreach, and resources, they raise awareness and promote healthy practices across diverse populations. Options also has Sex Sense, a free confidential information line and email service.
Since 1996, when it was launched as the “Facts of Life Line,” Sex Sense has become a trusted source of information for people across British Columbia.
A simple call or message to this confidential phone and email service connects you with an expert team of trained nurses and educators, the “Sexperts,” who offer specialist advice on sexual health topics, all based on the latest research. No matter the topic, no question is too small or too sensitive to ask. Their commitment to evidence-based care means that you can trust their answers to be accurate and up-to-date.
“I cannot believe there is a place to ask questions and get such helpful, educating answers from a professional.” —SexSense Client
Better than the Internet
The internet is full of information, but it can be difficult to find reliable, scientifically-backed answers on sexual health topics. Sex Sense beats this method out by a mile, instead providing a personalized, expert-driven alternative. Why sift through potentially inaccurate or misleading content online when you can call the trained professionals at Sex Sense and receive trusted, research-based advice?
“You touched upon so many truths and realities with care and insight. The grief has been enormous and, at times, overwhelming. Thank you for being so intuitive about this.” —SexSense Client
