Sex Education Bodies Are Telling

    • Documentary

Our introductions to sex are so formative. And a lot of us are stumbling around the world trying to make up for lost time and learn the things we should’ve been taught when we were 12. As a sex educator, Ruby has seen this first hand in her years teaching sex ed in classrooms all across the country, training professionals on how to be more informed and inclusive when it comes to talking about sex, and running contraception distribution teams. In this episode she’ll be tackling all the different ways that sex ed and inherited shame can impact us, as well as examining why a one size fits all approach to sex education doesn’t serve us.
