I had the natural inclination of like, but that's not what I've experienced.
Like, this is a cool thing that your body's capable of doing.

No, and I felt people were really being robbed of that part of the conversation, which is sort of like teaching driver's ed, but only teaching about accidents, right?
Driving can be so pleasurable.
It also gets you from point A to point B. It's like an incredible experience that you could have for pleasure as well.
we don't just focus on accidents because that's not why people drive.
So I had this sense that my peers were sort of being robbed of the main point of sex in sex ed, but I knew even before I'd ever had sex, and nothing traumatic happened to me, I didn't have a bad experience early on, I just knew this is what I was gonna do for a living.
It took me a while to figure out exactly how because I didn't know that you could really get a degree and work one-on-one with people outside of therapy.
And I knew I didn't want to be a therapist.
Like I wanted to help people.
I wanted to educate.

You'll have like a health teacher or maybe like a phys ed teacher.
Together.
No, can't talk about it together.
I should write about that in the book.
And then for me anyways, they would show a video that was often sponsored by like a tampon or pad company that would be like, we're teaching you about your body.
