Sex Ed is a really interesting piece about teenagers’ views on sex education and their sex lives. The producer had an ingenious opening that mimicked the cheesy 80's music that all sex videos seem to have; her voice fit the slightly sleazy and very creepy voice that high school sex educators invariable possess. The overall effect is hilarious, but Sex Education quickly becomes serious. There are a variety of interviews from students and their experiences from sex ed. One subject stuck out to me in particular. He contracted gonorrhea from unprotected sex. Now, since he's learned from his mistakes, he promises to always use condoms. From interviews like that, which unfortunately are very common experiences, it's evident that current sex ed in schools is failing. Sexual Education is not just an important piece for teens to listen to but also for the adults that are supposed to teach us about safe sex. Maybe then it'll finally be time to abandon those 80's videos.
