The Indo Daily: Sex therapist Grace Alice O'Se – How sex in Ireland has lost the ‘shame factor'
The author and sex educator Grace Alice O'Se joins Kevin Dundon and Caoimhe Young to chat about Traffic Light Brownies, her favourite childhood dessert, completed with drizzled chocolate and M&Ms.
Grace Alice talks about the relationship between sex and food and how the conversation around sex in Ireland has lost the 'shame factor'.
But she says children today literally grow up seeing pornography from a young age because of the widespread availability of phones and tablets.
Grace says: 'There is ways of bypassing safeguards on phones and even if kids don't have phones, their friends have phones.'
'There's a lot of explicit stuff, even on the most widely used social media platforms we all use every day.'
In Under the Grill, Ireland's best loved personalities choose a dish from their childhood and Kevin Dundon cooks it up in his kitchen, alongside Maître d', Caoimhe Young.
