You know what time it is. It’s time to talk about the birds and the bees.....
We all remember that car journey we got trapped in while our parents began to explain what happens when a man loves a woman. We all remember finding out that the lovely story about an overgrown stork dropping a baby, gracefully into your mothers arms was untrue. We all remember how we came to learn where babies come from and being absolutely horrified and disgusted.
In my case, I do not. I suppressed the memory of the conversation so deep into the recesses of my brain that it seemingly never happened. That was until I asked my kind mother and she wasn’t long jogging my memory.
I wondered why I like many others were so adverse to having the conversation? Was it the case I felt it was a disguising unnatural human act or was society telling us this?
Humans have been on the planet for over 300,000 years now. The soul reason we are still around today is due to s*x. It’s essential for our survival and the most natural human instinct. In this podcast, I attempt to explore the reason why over the past 100 years, s*x has been linked to negative connotations like shame, discomfort and embarrassment.
My guest, Dr Kate Dawson is a s*x expert and p**n researcher from NUI, Galway. Her study primarily focuses on s*xual health promotion and educating the youth on key areas like consent, communication, and intimacy.
In this weeks podcast, we talk about the most common questions asked in a primary and secondary school settings, relating to s*x. We explore the reason why it has been seen as shameful for women to want s*x and why men have been afforded more s*xual freedom in the past. We discuss the reasons why kids may feel uncomfortable talking to their parents about s*x and some useful approaches that can be taken.
This is Episode 30 - S*x Education.
