Sex Education star Aimee Lou Wood has said that speaking about masturbation<\/strong> as a teenager<\/strong> was “a complete taboo<\/span><\/strong>” and that her sexual desires had made her feel like a “weirdo”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sex <\/span>Education s2 streaming 17 January 2020.  \u2014 Netflix<\/a> UK & Ireland<\/a> November 25, 2019<\/p>\n

Wood told the PA news agency that she had been taught that women who enjoyed sex<\/strong> were “crazy” but that Sex Education had helped dispel that idea.
\nWood said she remembered “having really frank conversations” about other topics with her friends but that masturbation<\/strong> had remained “a complete taboo<\/span><\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

Series two of Sex Education launches on Netflix<\/a> on Friday January 17.<\/p>\n

Besides Netflix<\/a>\u2019s Big Mouth<\/a>, a cartoon series<\/strong> about how puberty<\/strong> upends the lives of a bunch of 13-year-olds, the biggest hit is the appropriately named Sex Education, the warm, ribald and hugely entertaining drama about a teenage boy giving sex<\/strong> therapy to his classmates which tackles the horny issues schools<\/strong> are failing to teach.<\/p>\n

Given that a 2017 report by the Terrence Higgins Trust<\/a> found half of young people<\/strong> rated their schools<\/strong>\u2019 relationships and sex<\/strong> education<\/strong> as either poor or terrible, the popularity<\/strong> of these shows<\/strong> is hardly surprising.<\/p>\n

In Sex Education, hesitant student Anwar seeks advice on anal douching from fellow pupil Rahim, explaining that he can\u2019t ask his boyfriend as “it\u2019s embarrassing”.<\/p>\n

\"\"Dot, 17 from Leeds<\/a>, highlights the tendency to segregate pupils<\/strong> by gender<\/strong> for RSE, noting that “even at the age of 11, I was confused why boys didn\u2019t need to know about cervixes and fallopian tubes: how do you expect them to be understanding when they don\u2019t even know what the word \u2018menstruation\u2019 means?” In both Big Mouth<\/a> and Sex Education, equal attention is given to characters<\/strong> who are diverse in race, sexuality<\/strong>, gender<\/strong> and background, creating a dynamic where no one form of puberty<\/strong> is treated as default.<\/p>\n

Occasionally, this television is straightforwardly educational.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sex Education includes everything from chlamydia myth-busting to lectures on lube .<\/p>\n

The programmes also cover taboos<\/strong><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Series one of Sex Education was celebrated for including a realistic portrayal of abortion, depicting the procedure<\/strong> step-by-step, from the waiting room<\/strong> to the recovery room<\/strong>, in a tone that was neither sensational nor melodramatic.<\/p>\n

Whereas Isaac, 17 from Kent, feels that pupils<\/strong> “are only ever told of the horror stories in RSE”, Sex Education quietly reaffirms the notion that anything, no matter how embarrassing or complicated, can be resolved, usually by talking to someone.<\/p>\n

Sex Education.<\/p>\n

Sexpression, a charity that works to empower young people<\/strong> by teaching informal and comprehensive RSE lessons in secondary schools<\/strong>, believes the popularity<\/strong> of sex<\/strong> education<\/strong> on TV demonstrates that teenagers “are in need of a source to dispel myths around sex<\/strong>, reinforce truths, and allow for the empowerment of their bodily autonomy and decision-making”.<\/p>\n

A key plot-point in Sex Education\u2019s second series<\/strong> is the school\u2019s decision to rewrite its sex<\/strong> education<\/strong> curriculum, prompting a debate between staff and pupils<\/strong> about how teenagers are meant to responsibly seek sexual advice when the school fails to provide it.<\/p>\n

Ciara<\/a> believes pop culture “should never be an alternative to well-taught and serious conversations that are seriously lacking in our education<\/strong> system”.<\/p>\n

Netflix<\/a>\u2019s Sex Education follows Otis Milburn , a socially awkward teenager<\/strong>, whose mother, Jean , is a sex<\/strong> therapist.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Although the series<\/strong> does cover safe and consensual sex<\/strong>, Sex Education is actually educational in other ways.<\/p>\n

Following the release of its second season on January 17, Sex Education continues to educate its viewers by representing different people in society<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

However, Sex Education does not fear to illustrate the decisions regarding the procedure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What makes Sex Education so inclusive is they casted an actor who is a real-life wheelchair user, showcasing different representations of figures in society<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Sex Education also showcased the struggles of mental health.<\/p>\n

Sex Education illustrated the difficulties of asking for help and how it can be a vulnerable task.<\/p>\n

The LGBTQ+ community has been represented through many characters<\/strong> during Sex Education\u2019s run.<\/p>\n

One strength of Sex Education is how they normalize the LGBTQ+ community.<\/p>\n

Overall, Sex Education continues to showcase<\/strong> representation through various life experiences and people.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As of yet, there is no official confirmation if Sex Education will be getting renewed for a third season.<\/p>\n

Same with Maeve in Netflix<\/a>\u2019s series<\/strong> Sex Education, who doesn\u2019t relish the procedure<\/strong> but doesn\u2019t beat herself up over it, either; nor does anyone else.<\/p>\n

One of the great promises of Netflix<\/a> for 2019 is the British series<\/strong> “Sex Education”.<\/p>\n

This production seeks to break the great taboos<\/strong><\/span><\/strong> that society<\/strong> has towards sexuality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

His spicy and funny personality seeks to leave behind the taboo<\/span><\/strong> of sexual relations so that his son can see sex<\/strong> naturally and stop being a shameful subject.<\/p>\n

Netflix<\/a> hooks viewers up with a new series<\/strong>, “Sex Education,” that embraces the awkwardness of teenage relationships.<\/p>\n

When it comes to sex<\/strong> talk, the new Netflix<\/a> series<\/strong> “Sex Education” hits the G-spot in delivering a charming coming-of-age dramedy on a taboo<\/span><\/strong> subject.<\/p>\n

Although the story takes place in England<\/a>, the backdrop of “Sex Education” curiously feels aesthetically American.<\/p>\n

Now, with a title like “Sex Education,” how accurate is the show\u2019s discourse on the birds and the bees? Well, the series<\/strong> is no instruction manual.<\/p>\n

“Sex Education” explores individualism, and it does so further by seamlessly delving into the bigger political matters, like feminism and sexuality<\/strong>, that weave into the characters<\/strong>\u2019 identities.<\/p>\n

“Sex Education” approaches its main topic of sexuality<\/strong> with an open-minded sensibility, but it is also doesn\u2019t shy away from being silly.<\/p>\n
