Tens of thousands of people with cancer are ‘suffering in silence’ with concerns around sex. We know cancer impacts people in many ways, be it financially, emotionally, or physically. But we need to talk about how cancer can affect our relationships and sex lives. That’s why we’re so proud to be partnering with UK based charity Macmillan Cancer Support to shine a light on the impact cancer can have on people’s sexual wellbeing and to encourage those impacted to have open conversations and access support. As part of our collaboration, we have launched a new content series called We Need To Talk About Sex and Cancer. The series will feature people from across the UK sharing their unique experiences with sex, relationships and intimacy, following a cancer diagnosis. In the first instalment of our series, we meet Ellie (22), who was diagnosed with cancer at just 14. We’re incredibly proud and grateful to her for sharing her experience. #WeNeedToTalkAboutCancer #CSR #CorporateSocialResponsibility #BrandPartnership #SexualWellness #SexualHealth

What a brilliant collaboration, material to your organisation, enhanced by the expert knowledge of MacMillan Cancer Support. Well done for shining a light on such an important topic
I am the sexologist for Singapore Cancer Society. Your work in shining a light on the impact of cancer on sexual well-being and encouraging open conversations is incredibly important. Thank you for partnering with Macmillan Cancer Support to address such an essential aspect of the cancer journey.
This was such an unexpected but enlightening video to see on LinkedIn. Thank you Ellie for sharing your story & Lovehoney Group for spreading awareness of this sensitive yet important topic.
I guarantee if the treatment led to erectile disfunction this poor situation may not have happened..until sex is treated as an equal partnership, one that is a product of mutual respect and formed with an intention of a relationship and love..
What an incredible campaign, well done Lovehoney Group for yet again breaking down stigma and providing a space for under-represented topics. Admire Ellie so much for her maturity, and openness. Conversations around sexual health and wellbeing are so crucial ❤️
Big love to Lovehoney Group for this and for making this subject something people can talk about.
