The brilliantly named Samantha Niblett, MP for South Derbyshire, has put the cat amongst the pigeons in Westminster by announcing that she wants summer 2026 to be the “summer of sex“, attempting to create what she dubbed “lifelong sex education” alongside sex educator and Make Love Not Porn founder Cindy Gallop.
She aims to encourage teaching about consent and healthy relationships, to help kids understand how to identify and avoid abuse. As part of the “Yes Sex Please, We’re British!” push, she plans to go on a tour to visit a “whole bank of organisations to speak with and gather information, so we can talk about sex all summer,” as well as holding an exhibition of sex toys in Parliament.
You’d think that politicians, historically a randy bunch, would be up for this, but the response hasn’t been all that enthusiastic. Kemi Badenoch said at PMQs yesterday: “This is a moment of profound national seriousness and what are they doing? They are promoting sex toys in Parliament. It gives a whole new meaning to fiddling while Rome burns.” The Times reports that other MPs, including those on the Labour side, are distancing themselves from the campaign already.
While I can’t fault Kemi’s pun (my compliments to whichever spad came up with that one), I can fault her logic, because at a moment of “profound national seriousness”, there is literally nothing better we could be focusing on than sex.
Make no mistake, this country’s sexual wellness is not in good shape. Fewer than half of UK adults have sex weekly. Millennials had less sex than previous generations, and now Gen Z are having even less sex than millennials. And who can blame them?
A staggering number of women report having unsatisfying sex, or – even more worryingly – report being increasingly exposed to non-consensual violence during sex, often at the hands of men who have grown up watching unrealistic, unethically produced porn which trains them to think that spitting and slapping are an automatic and essential part of getting off.
Rewriting the rules of sexual engagement isn’t an easy thing to do, but if you could manage it, it would be a miracle cure for many of the nation’s ills. More sex means more babies, which means no birth crisis. More sex means more romance, more flirting, and for heterosexual people, more interplay between two genders which are increasingly at war with each other.
Good sex is good for your mental and physical health. The benefits include stress reduction, improved mood, better sleep, immune support, pain relief, hormonal regulation, and better relationship outcomes. Sex is fun, active, doesn’t cost money and helps strengthen relationships.
Marriages with good sex last longer and homes with good sex in them are happier. Sex is fundamentally good for people. If you could wave a magic wand and make every adult in the country sexually satisfied, you’d have a happier and healthier population. And yet it seems that only one MP is really willing to throw her weight into making this silver bullet a reality.
So here’s to you, Niblett. Let’s hope your colleagues realise that you’re on to an absolute winner here.
