Abstract

The article examines the state of sex education in the U.S., discussing the quality of sex education programs as well as types of romantic relationship and sex education that can be most beneficial to students. According to the author, the current system that primarily promotes abstinence ignores topics such as sexual reciprocity, LGBTQ students, and sexual pleasure. The need to properly train sex education teachers is covered as well as creating a program that promotes mature, respectful relationships.
