Why include the Earth in Sex Education?
When I set out to create my sex ed business in 2022, I struggled to come up with a name that described the type of sex education I wanted to do.
I wanted to be explicit and upfront about the fact that I wanted sex education to help kids not only improve their relationships with themselves and one another but also with the land itself.
Sex is Mysterious
I have always found defining ‘what is sex’ to be extremely difficult.
As a sex educator, I am expected to answer questions about it: Why do people have sex? Why are adults so uncomfortable talking about it? When is it okay to start having sex?
Sex is powerful and mysterious and I am profoundly grateful to spend my time exploring how sex shapes individuals, communities, and the living earth.
