But what we should be doing is, I would say sex education needs to change.

Like, none of my teenagers have ever heard anything about fertility.

That conversation has never happened.

So, you know, I think maybe we could just make them aware.

And I know we are aware, women are aware, but are we really?

I don't know.

Subsidised gyms, subsidised dance floors, like running groups and work, like throw everything at us.

You know, the UK just announced social media bans for under 16s today.

I think that has actually got a part in it because...

We want to take people off their phones into the world.

You don't get pregnant over Zoom, David, right?

I mean, when I think back to where did I meet my boyfriends?

I met them in work.

I met them on dance floors.

You know, I couldn't stay in my room on my phone when I was in my late teens, early twenties, if I wanted to meet guys, if I wanted to socialise.

So I think we do need to, without like, you know, throwing shade on any choices,

I think we should talk about this and we should.

I do think the government should.

Public policy has a role.

I think we should just widen the conversation a bit, David.
