Whose job is it to explain to adolescents that sex can be: reproduction, love, infatuation, pleasure, responsibility, communication, casual, intimacy, something for two fully consenting individuals, stress-relieving, not without consequences, life-changing, not porn, not what is portrayed in entertainment, more than libido, rape, not gender-specific, not free of cultural norms, non-consensual, not what determines manhood or womanhood, a sign of commitment, a decision of the heart not the hormones, perfectly natural, and all the other things human beings attach to it?
They shouldn’t have to learn the hard way.
