And there's normally loads on at the Forum as well while you're there.

Free condoms!

WELCOME to the 2nd most visited post on my blog!

They say the best things in life are free; however, you wouldn't want an expensive baby or sexually transmitted disease to deal with afterwards!

The NHS makes free condoms available to anyone - male or female - but availability, brands and the quantities available vary in different areas of the UK. Free condoms are generally available from the following:

• NHS sexual health (GUM) clinics (in Norwich this is based at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital - More info)
• Gay pubs and clubs
• Some doctors surgeries (the UEA Medical Centre is a good place to stock up!)

If you are under 25 you can get a free chlamydia testing kit which you can pick up from your GP surgery, do at home and post off.  Or alternatively you can order one online - here

And while you're at it, find more free fun stuff to do in Norwich with your partner using this site.
