Wood explained she and her classmates would not speak about masturbation with one another. “And then you go into school and you pretend that you’ve never experienced masturbation. Girls pretended like they didn’t even know what it was,” she stated. The actor added that while she would have “really frank conversations” about other topics with her friends, the subject of masturbation was “a complete taboo”. Speaking about her aforementioned masturbation storyline in the first season of Sex Education, Wood said she was glad the scene was “a bit ugly and unflattering”, as she was not required to wear “sexy lingerie”. Not only does the arrival of the new year mark an end to the merriment of the Christmas period, but it also signals the coming of Divorce Day. Divorce Day, as it has come to be known by lawyers in recent years, is a day on which law firms reportedly see a spike in couples filing to split from one another. It falls on the first Monday following 1 January – which this year is on.
