Overview

To Google or not to Google, is that the question? We all use search the internet without shame or fear of embarrassment to answer for all sorts of questions, but do smartphones and their digital assistants offer quality sexual health advice? To find out we jumped into bed (albeit independently), pulled out our smartphones, and asked Siri and Google Assistant. We then compared their answers with a laptop-based Google search. The results…..? Well, come along and find out about Gwyneth's jade eggs, holidaying in Cornwall and other sexual health mysteries.
