WATCH: This PH TikTok went viral for answering vital sex education questions
Let's talk about sex.
With the social media app TikTok gaining more and more users every day, more nuanced forms of content have become available for everyone. Though it may not all be relatable, the topic of sex education in the country is one that sorely needs more attention.
With that in mind, non-profit humanitarian organization Oxfam Philippines recently went viral for just that, as they joined in on the #ExpertTok trend to discuss vital sex health questions from Filipinos.
Starting on Saturday, Sept. 4, they requested people to ask their important sex education questions via the comments section or the hashtag #ExpertTok.
They've since responded to a total of five questions answered by adolescent physician Dr. Emma Llanto, public health specialist Dr. Ingrid Magnata, and OB-oncologist Dr. Cecilia Llave. They've since garnered over 11,000 likes from their account, with their first one on the withdrawal method raking in over 200,000 views.
Here are the entries:
"Can I get pregnant from the withdrawal method?"
Can I get pregnant even if it's my first time?" / "Can I get pregnant from any sexual position?" / "Can I still get pregnant even after I pee after sex?"
