"...So, why did you choose to teach Sex Ed? I mean, don't get me wrong, I think we need more teachers like you, but I'm just curious. You can choose not to answer, I won't mind."

Chuckling I answered, " Well, initially before I had to choose a subject to teach I had done a bit of research about sex, because the information offered to us at school wasn't adequate. I mean, yes it had the basics of what happens during sex, which was not explained, just implied; the parts of the reproductive systems; what STDs are and finally not to have sex before marriage. But if you actually think about it, that template of what they teach misses so much about sex and relationships and pleasure that it makes sex seem like an extremely detached activity that involves no pleasure at all. That explanation is just..cold. Also, we are never taught about intimacy in the way that it matters, about what it means for two people to come together as one, what it feels like to merge with one another in the most intimate way possible. So, I thought why not break from the norms and try teaching people about intimacy at the grass root level- teenage."
