Letter from the Editors

YOU must have thought about sex at some point in your life. But have you ever wondered what someone else on the other side of the world thinks about it? Someone like you, facing the same decisions as you when it comes to sex and sexuality, mezzo is a one-off magazine allowing young people from all over the world to speak their mind about issues like friendship, love, sexual relationships and parenthood. It is clear that there is a degree of similarity between us when it comes to sex and sexuality yet when it comes to certain issues we have different beliefs and attitudes. We have also attempted to address some of your questions, questions which you feel are not adequately answered elsewhere. All over the world young people have a thirst for information about sex, and more and more young people are turning to unreliable sources. We believe that young people deserve to have honest responses to their queries. So how did we find out what young people of the world think? We asked them. And they replied. And they replied some more. We cannot share with you what everyone had to say hut we hope you will enjoy and respect the views of those who have contributed. Doortje Bracken |
