A Visual Guide to Why Sex Ed is Good!

It’s really hard to argue with this beautious infographic on why we need sex education.

I often blame my poor introduction to sexuality on my poor sexual education. Our health teacher literally used to say “down there” to us. When oh when do we get to stand up and shout “this is unacceptable! We deserve better!”

There is nothing more obvious than the importance of teaching kids how to be healthy about sex. And occasionally, there is nothing more helpful than a visual guide for why something is a good idea.

Plan B!

Exciting new development on the Plan B front! It seems that New York City is going to pioneer this badass new program in which girls as young as 14 will have access to over the counter emergency contraception from school nurses.

They have so far been sneaky about revealing plans and testing out the pilot program, but if it goes well I think it’s going to be an amazing start to a future where the kids who really need it get access to the birth control they really need! (Birth control in the non-emergency form will be/has also been made available).

All ye non-believers out there: I have argued again and again that kids are having sex anyway – the availability isn’t going to make them have more sex. It’s just going to make it easier to do it safely. Hurrah!
