A worthwhile documentary advocating for sex education

A 30-something out gay man explores sex, sexuality, silence, and shame in North American culture. Attempting to demystify the subject, he travels around North America, meeting educators, researchers, and naysayers. The film is bookended with interviews with his parents.

The thrust of this film is to encourage more information and non- judgemental discussion with children about sex, by parents and educators, rather than shame and prohibition that commonly occurs. The director mentions his favorite band Salt-N-Pepa, though not directly their song "Let's Talk About Sex".

Wonderful!

Wonderful interviews and research! How much I needed this as a kid, an adolescent, a young adult, an adult, a middle aged man, an old man (now at 64!)! I can't even imagine how much I missed out in life because of lack in sexual education! Am I normal? Am I bad? Am I attractive? Why do I like this and they tell me it is bad??? How can anybody realize their own gifts when they're taught that these questions are bad. I wasted so many years and opportunities for good sex because I was taught that sex was bad, except to make babies! Bodies are beautifully and wondrously made! I love being human and a sexual being!
