Bare Curiosity talks plainly about bodies and sex. Please confirm you're 18 or over.

For 18 and over. I'm an educator, not a medical professional.

I'd rather you learned this from me than from a forum at 2am.

I grew up in South Africa with sex education that amounted to a warning and a diagram. Everything else I learned late, awkwardly, and often wrongly. When I started asking around, almost everyone I knew had the same story.

So I built the place I needed at twenty-two. Accurate, unembarrassed, and written like a conversation instead of a pamphlet.

My qualifications, plainly

I'm a trained sex educator. I am not a doctor, nurse, psychologist, physiotherapist or therapist, and I am not registered with any medical council. I can explain how bodies work, what the research says, and what questions are worth asking. I cannot examine you, diagnose you or prescribe anything.

Where an article touches on something clinical, it is checked by a healthcare professional before it goes up, and the sources are listed at the bottom so you can read them yourself.

What I do

  • Explain the basics properly, in plain language
  • Answer anonymous questions publicly, without identifying anyone
  • Point you to clinicians, helplines and services in South Africa
  • Update articles when the evidence moves

What I don't

  • Diagnose, prescribe, or stand in for your doctor
  • Tell you what you should want or should be doing
  • Publish anything explicit without a note first
  • Take money to say something is good
