Hi swirl verse. I've got a question for you today and it's what was your sex education experience like in school? Because I think for a lot of people, it's a bit of a joke how inadequate sex education really is in schools. I know, especially here in the UK. We had Section 28, which was put in the Eighties so long, which stopped anyone legally teaching about gay sex in schools, which obviously restricted a huge part of sex education

Apart from maybe one of the class where we were showing an array of contraceptives and barrier protections, which was pretty extensive, actually, apart from that, nothing else. And I know this will be better than what some people had, but it was very minimal, very instructive, very heteronormative, nothing outside of the bounds of what was traditionally expected, probably 50 odd years ago. So yeah, it was pretty minimal

This was a mixed class, so I was sat
