Crash Course Sex Ed (2025)
Season 1
Sex happens. We’re all living evidence of that. But good sex education isn’t available to everybody. But here at Crash Course we say: let’s talk about it! With support from the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University, and with sex educator and sexologist Shan Boodram as the host, this series will explore the usual suspects: penises, vulvas, STIs, and pregnancy. But we’ll also talk about orgasms, consent, masturbation, and how society influences what we do, think, and feel about getting it on.
