When you hear \u201csex education\u201d, you likely think of blush-inducing secondary school classes or the hit Netflix show.<\/p>\n

Sex education<\/a> is a critical subject, but it\u2019s not only for adolescents! We should all continue to expand our knowledge into adulthood. After all, with age comes wisdom – but only if you keep learning!<\/p>\n

Today, we’re exploring why you should continue learning about sex as an adult and listing some sex-positive media<\/a> to help inspire your studies.<\/p>\n

5 reasons to keep learning about sex<\/h2>\n

Sex education isn\u2019t just about learning the names of body parts and how babies are made! It\u2019s also about your intimate well-being, sexual health,<\/a> and pleasure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are five reasons sex education<\/a> should be a life-long lesson.<\/p>\n

1. Stay informed on sexual health developments<\/span><\/h3>\n

Sexual health<\/a> and contraception look very different today compared to thirty years ago, and as we keep moving forward, the landscape will continue to change.<\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re having sex, you need to stay in the loop. Not only will you be able to better look after your sexual health, but you\u2019ll also be able to give suggestions to your partners to improve their well-being, too.<\/p>\n

2. Self discovery<\/span><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s no right or wrong way to have sex, and this gives way to endless possibilities.<\/p>\n

The more you learn and immerse yourself in sex-positive media, the more you\u2019ll learn about what you do and don\u2019t like<\/a>. This can help your self-confidence and self-esteem, and it can also lead to better sex, which leads us to\u2026<\/p>\n

3. Better orgasms<\/span><\/h3>\n

The more you know about sex, the more pleasure you can unlock!<\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t only relate to discovering your kinks<\/a> and turn-ons but also to understanding your physical anatomy and how to pleasure yourself with a partner and on your own.<\/p>\n

4. Better communication around sex<\/span><\/h3>\n

Learning about sex often leaves you feeling more comfortable with the subject. This helps to normalise sex and pleasure and also improves communication between you and your partner(s).<\/p>\n

Better communication can also lead to more pleasure, but more importantly, it leads to fewer miscommunications and boundary-pushing<\/a>\u00a0and clear consent.<\/p>\n

5. Less stigma<\/span><\/h3>\n

Though we\u2019ve come a long way with talking about sex, many of us still feel sexual shame, and some kinks and acts are still surrounded by stigma and misconceptions.<\/p>\n

Learning about sex, sharing sex education, and embracing the subject with an open mind helps to reduce the stigma <\/a>and also helps others develop their sexuality.<\/p>\n
