When you think of sex education, what springs to mind? I bet a mildly awkward class with a mildly uncomfortable teacher talking about periods, where babies come from, and possibly putting a condom on a wooden penis. Does that sound about right?

We often think sex education is for kids, but the sex ed we get as kids from parents and schools is lacking, so we get a lot of our info from friends and media. It is rare that we get realistic sex education and even rarer to get queer sex education as kids or teens. On this episode, I talk to Eva Bloom, sex educator extraordinaire, about sex ed for adults: why we need it, why it’s important, and why queering things up is beneficial for everyone.

Sex Ed! What do we know? Do we know things? Let's find out!
