Dr Naomi Sutton: The Sex Clinic

In this podcast Professor Joyce Harper will be interviewing guests to discuss all things health related and debunking some of the many myths around our health.

Naomi Sutton graduated from Sheffield Medical School in 2003 and has worked as a Consultant Physician for the NHS at Rotherham Sexual Health Services since 2016. Throughout her career, she has developed a passion for education and raising awareness of sexual health, both for other health professionals and the general public.

Naomi starred in series 1 and 2 of the E4’s ‘The Sex Clinic’ which “helps young people get their sex lives back on track” and, as well as other media roles, she has talked frankly about vulvas, sex in old age, HIV and other sexual health subjects, on C4’s ‘Steph’s Packed Lunch’.

In conjunction with the charity ‘You Before Two‘  Naomi has recently developed PHSE accredited Sex Education materials, strongly believing fun, clear and accurate education is key to combat a lot of the struggles she sees people presenting within her clinics.

Naomi is proud to be a Trustee for the charity Saving Lives UK savinglivesuk.com which exists to raise awareness of HIV and STI testing and reduce associated stigma – and is an Ambassador for the Eve Appeal. This charity raises awareness of the five gynaecological cancers and is now thrilled to also be an FPA Ambassador.

We talked a lot about sex. Do you know your vulva from your vagina? What words would you teach your child to use for their genitals? Are you having enough orgasms? They are really good for your health and you can have them on your own or with your partner, with or without sex toys. But how we orgasm often changes as we age and we may have to alter the way we have sex. We discussed the worrying increase in some STIs and how easy it is to get texted, even at home. Both Joyce and Naomi are passionate about ensuring everyone knows about sex and reproductive health and we discussed how this should be taught and normalised.
