Better in Bed | A Sex & Sexuality Podcast


Mar 26, 2020

What were you taught in sex-ed, and what do you wish you had learned? Often there’s a big difference between the two!

 

Sara and guests Jules Hannaford, teacher and host of the Hong Kong Confidential podcast and comedian Elena Gabrielle of Story Party, talk about the sex education we received, which was shrouded in fear, abstinence and shame.

 

We share our early sexual experiences, and reflect on what we wished we’d known about STI’s, consent and responsibility at that time.

 

We also talk about how we learned about sex and intercourse from a biological standpoint, but there never seemed to be enough focus on the social and practical aspects of sexual relationships.

 

Jules gives some guidance for parents on how to speak to their children about sex from a young age and encourage a healthy sexuality. We conclude that sex education shouldn’t just start and end in school, it can be an ongoing journey of learning for adults too.
