The shit I remember most about high school sex-ed are the incredibly detailed and unnecessarily graphic pictures of yeast infections, genital warts and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Honestly, my teachers made comments that made me never want to have sex… which was, undoubtedly, their goal.
As long as sex talks are filled with fear and shame, we’ll always view sex as a dirty act done in the dark. It’s time to turn on the lights. Moving past our reservations surrounding sex starts with talking more honestly about it and all its moving pieces — the good, the bad and the ugly. Because the more we talk about it, the better sex we can all have.
And don’t we all want better sex?
