Sex education shouldn't suck, but it very often does. Whether it's at school, church, online, or with friends, we've found that there's almost always rampant misinformation about sex and a total lack of what people actually need to know. This podcast is an attempt to shed light on how much sex ed currently sucks and try to help it not...suck. Join friends Jen McPhail and Kaylee Moser as they talk to people from all walks of life about their sex education experiences, how it impacts them now, and what could have been better.
