Sex lives in focus for Ukraine's injured veterans - BBC

"There's sex in the hospital, sex at home, sex before procedures, sex after. There's a lot of good sex going on"

    oh thank goodness that ReSex thing is just a handful of people printing sex education handbooks, i thought it was something actually arranging sex for soldiers like . that's a fairly misleading quote where she's referring to the need for education/outreach on the topic in all those environments, i mean the last thing a guy who just lost his legs needs is gonorraea.

    From the Soviet Union times, we inherited this norm that one can get up to eight years behind bars if this one happens to send their nudes to another person

    fucking what

    704,667 people received a court summons in 2022 for charges that fall under Article 301 of Ukraine’s Criminal Code, which pertains to pornography

    over half a million people while there's a fucking war on are you for real.

    this is basically a personal interest story, i don't think decriminalization has a chance, the sponsor is from a tiny party in the opposition.
