Sex education is less fun for teens than it is for mums. It’s super weird talking with a parent, especially one of the opposite gender. However, Sex education is a big deal, and even the TV folks agree with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People have various opinions as to whether the TV depiction of teen sex is moral enough or even responsible enough. There is less talk about whether the depiction is bad enough. This is a review of the Netflix series Sex Education, and a look at its depiction of teenage sex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is so much sex in this movie, and the title already advertises this effortlessly. The sex scenes may be one of the major attractions of the series, but the \u201ceducation\u201d part is more of what you should look out for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The unlikely educator in this film is Otis Milburn (Asa Butterfield), who is an awkward, inexperienced teenager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jane, who is his mother (an interestingly deadpan Gillian Anderson), is a sex therapist, with an awkwardly frank manner and a somewhat limited sense of personal boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This mum explains sex to her very young son, Otis, in a flashback. The talk goes like so: \u201cIntercourse can be wonderful. But it can also cause great pain. And if you are not careful, sex can even destroy lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ve probably heard the saying that the cobbler\u2019s children may not have shoes. Well, Otis is fixed, clean for footwear. But he can not masturbate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The teenager’s adolescent anxiety about his male parts and changing body (he\u2019s not excited about erections, either) gets deepness by the choking T.M.I. factor of staying in the same space with an oversharing mum with lots of erotic art on the walls and a range of exotic implements in the drawers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
