Experts in the field of sex education have said what you should believe, what to ignore, what they like and what they want to see changed in Sex Education on Netflix
The fourth and final season of Netflix’s hit comedy Sex Education has landed. Following the closure of Moordale Secondary in Season 3, Eric and Otis face their first day at progressive Cavendish Sixth Form College.
“Confession: I almost never watch Netflix, but I binged this show. For professional reasons, of course!” says sex and intimacy counsellor Marcy Brink. ‘It's great to see LGBTQI characters, even adorable teenage cosplay fetishists, getting screen time and not just appearing as "token" characters.’Sex Education is known for its diverse range of characters and for discussing topics which often don’t get a lot of air time. But does it go far enough?
These findings suggest that a lot of people did not receive holistic sex education which went beyond the practicalities to teach them about the myriad of human experience and how to navigate sex and relationships. Has Netflix’s Sex Education helped bridge this gap and provided the teachings that many of us missed out on during our own sex education?
“Although there are a plethora of real-life aspects that appear throughout the series, one aspect that does not feature much in the show is the choice to delay having sex,” says PJ Livett.“ This is also a valid decision that should be presented to young people.
“I think Jean Milburn’s character is great because she models how to talk frankly about sexuality,” says Marcy Brink. “My daughter once asked me, “Mom, isn’t it embarrassing to talk about sex?” I told her it was, even for us sex therapists, but the benefits of good, open communication are worth a little blushing. And blushing is a sign of vitality, so why not blush a little?Nothing is perfect and there’s always room for improvement.
