What I Wish I Learned in Sex Ed
Approximately 57% of high school seniors are sexually active. Studies have shown that those who are more well informed about sex are in less of a hurry to lose their virginity. As Abigail and I are navigating our first year of college, we found that the stigma of sex is very different than high school, and a lot of girls have certain "sexpectations" and “goals” that they want to hit before they reach a certain age.
What teenagers learn in sex education is the tip of the iceberg, as most of the time the only aspect that is discussed is how to reproduce, and not much of the feelings or emotions that go beyond it. Today, we are going to discuss the undiscussed parts of sex, and what we feel are very important conversations to be had.
