We should definitely have better sex ed classes that go beyond one session talking about how genitals work in the most basic sense. Studies show that continued sex ed lowers unwanted pregnancy and sti rates. Total no brainer. There’s still an old world taboo surrounding sex but I think we’re finally shedding those baby boom era ideas

Yup. They should add relationship education to the mix. Talking about consent and body safety can start in kindergarten. Talking about puberty and body changes should really start in 3rd or 4th grade and add each year. Sex, masturbation, STIs, pregnancy, etc. LGBTQ+ things should be covered. And special Ed students should also be taught sex education.
