TxT--Talking Sex Together

It can seem like everyone is always talking about who is, and who isn't, hooking up. Get the real hook up by Talking Sex Together - TxT. Talking about safer sex - or no sex - with your friends is an easy way to help each other make smart decisions about sex. www.teenstxt.com

Submit a TxT
Safer sex, no sex, and teen pregnancy can be tricky topics to seriously talk about with friends. How do you bring up the topic of sex without being completely awkward? Check out the messages on this site, pick your faves, and text them to your BFFs' cells straight from this site!

Got an even sweeter TxT? Just think of some phrases related to safer sex - or no sex - like "no condom no nookie." Then convert them into textable phrases (TxTs), such as "NCNN."

Teens TxT
Even though it can seem like everyone is talking about who "does it" or who "doesn't," talking about safer sex or not having sex can be uncomfortable. Check out the links below for ideas on how to "Talk It Out" with your friends, BF, GF, or even your parents. You'll also hear from real Iowa teens who are "Speaking Out" about the decisions they have made when it comes to sex. Then, do some "Fact Finding" to get the info you need to distinguish facts about sex from fiction and to make sex safer for you and your boyfriend or girlfriend.

 
Talk It Out: Find out how to kick off a hopefully not-so-awkward conversation with your friends, boyfriend, or girlfriend about sex.
 
Speaking Out: See how decisions about sex have impacted the lives of two Iowa teens.
 
Fact Finding: Learn to tell what's fact and what's fiction when it comes to sex and get some useful safer sex tips.
