What Can the Netflix Series Sex Education Teach School-Based Sexuality Education?
American Journal of Sexuality Education, v19 n4 p398-416 2024
Netflix series "Sex Education" is popular with young people in a way school-based programmes rarely are. Analyzing the first three seasons, this paper explores "what" and "how" educative content is offered and how young people are addressed as sexual subjects. It is argued that "Sex Education" radically expands the conventional content of school-based programmes and attends to many critiques young people repeatedly make of them. "Sex Education" offers an example of how to educate about sexuality, via a queer and sex-positive approach where young people are understood as legitimate sexual beings who are authorities on their own sexual lives.
