Whilst she discusses a wide range of topics, Hannah Witton’s focus is on sex, sexual health and relationships. This focus stemmed from her studies, where she wrote her dissertation on the history of sexology and sex manuals. She is now an ambassador for leading sexual health charity Brook and was shortlisted for Young Person of the Year at FPA’s UK Sexual Health awards and scooped up the Best Sex and Relationships award at the Cosmopolitan influencer awards in 2016, as well as being shortlisted for the Best Vlog in 2014.

Additionally, Hannah was a finalist in the 2013 Guardian and Oxford University Press Very Short Film competition, where she submitted a short on “The History of Homosexuality”.

Hannah first began creating YouTube videos in 2011 with an aim to help young women with their relationships and sexual health. On the channel she explores topics including how to increase your sexual desire, period tracking apps and menstruation, sexuality and sensuality, dating, sex toys, contraception, pregnancy, gender identity, parenting, consent and sex and disability.

In 2017, Hannah released her debut book, Doing It, which was an educational, informative handbook for young people, exploring relationships, sex and dating from her own experiences. She followed this up in 2019 with The Hormone Diaries: The Bloody Truth About Our Periods, which covered experiences of menstruation and education around it.

In 2019, Hannah launched her podcast, Doing it With Hannah Witton, which focused on sex, relationships, our bodies and taboos. The podcast was very successful and was nominated at the 2020 Global Awards. She is also a podcaster on Banging Book Club, where she and two other vloggers read books about sex and gender before discussing them, as well as on Deep Dive with Ali Abdaal where she spoke about sex and relationships.

In 2015, Hannah appeared on a TEDx talk titled What Internet Trolls Taught Me, which reached over 84,000 views on their YouTube channel.

Hannah is a highly sought-after expert speaker, moderator and host. In 2014, she moderated the gender panel at the Summer in the City event, and was named one of eight Girls’ Champions as part of the BBC’s 100 Women campaign in 2016.

HANNAH WITTON – CHRONIC ILLNESS / COLITIS

Hannah was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at the young age of seven, experiencing severe abdominal pain and frequent, bloody trips to the toilet. Over the years, she faced hospitalizations due to flare-ups until a new medication granted her a decade-long remission at 15. However, the unpredictable nature of Colitis resurfaced in her 20s, leading to the decision for an ileostomy – the removal of her large intestine and the use of a stoma bag. The surgery significantly improved her life, reducing pain and allowing her to lead a more normal existence. Yet, challenges persisted, including a large scar affecting her mobility and a loss of core strength. The subsequent months involved a learning process to walk, stand, lie down, and manage her transformed life.

Having undergone the ileostomy in 2018, Hannah is now dedicated to dispelling the misconceptions and stigma around Stoma’s.   Through her advocacy, she emphasises that individuals with stomas can still have intimate relationships and have children, highlighting the empowerment that comes with embracing life post-surgery.
