The Flaws of Traditional Sex Education

Traditional sex education programs often fail to address the needs of LGBTQ individuals, operating primarily under the assumption of heterosexuality. This lack of inclusivity contributes to misinformation and disempowerment within the LGBTQ community, particularly regarding sexual health and safety. Many LGBTQ individuals find themselves relying on porn as their primary source of sexual education, which can lead to misunderstandings, as porn often presents unrealistic scenarios rather than practical guidance. Consequently, there's a pressing need for more comprehensive and nuanced sexual education that caters specifically to the diverse experiences of the LGBTQ community.
