According to the third season of Sex Education, it comes down to celebrating our right to talk about sex, and how sex connects to our feelings. “The issues we talked about have always been there, people just haven't felt safe enough to raise them, that’s what’s changing.” The students rise up to defend their identity as the “sex school” after headmistress Hope Haddon makes it her mission to stop these conversations. And as heightened and comic as the plot feels, the battle for the students' right to be sex-positive and communicate openly about sex is an interesting reflection on a loaded debate that's actually happening right now. After the sexual liberation movement of the NUMBER_TOKEN’s and NUMBER_TOKEN’s came to be co-opted by toxic parts of the media and porn industry, today it can feel like rhetoric of “liberation” is just a cynical, straight-male-centric form of exploitation that doesn't work for everyone. But Sex Education is updating what sex positivity means in today’s terms, and its main takeaway is not that everyone needs to be having loads of casual sex, but that they need to feel free to communicate about sex and relationships openly, honestly and without shame. “You need to establish a clear verbal intercourse.” So here’s our Take on why public opinions about sex are so hypocritical, and how to be sex positive in the NUMBER_TOKENst century.
