This episode is all about sex education, or lack thereof.  I talk with relationship and sex educators Kay King and Becky Talbot  about why school-based  sex education is largely not fit for purpose,  the consequences of a restrictive, conservative curriculum, and what  knock-on  effects this has on our perceptions of ourselves, our bodies and our rights throughout our lives. We also discuss why having knowledge of your body is a radical act in our patriarchal society.
