Sex Education as Liberation

Thank you, Richard, for sending me the link to this wonderful piece on sex education by Courtney E Martin.

Her perspective is so refreshing because she steps past the debate over morality by asking a simple question: why don't we harness sexual energy for positive, personal growth?:

 "Part of the myopia comes from defining sex so narrowly. When we frame it as solely  heterosexual intercourse,  of course we obsess about pregnancy and STI risks. It's as if we offer  young people a worldview with 95 percent  of the frame blacked out. Touch, comfort, fantasy,  intimacy, experimentation, healing, not to mention  masturbation and other sexual practices  with no disease risks, are written out of the narrative altogether."
