Lecture 12:
What is sex for?
Very controversial
Different reasons why we have sex
Video on sex ed:
What sex ed should look like
Expanded view of Sex ed and what sex is for
At the same time- short clip:
Sex ed is very different in each province and even more different in different countries
In US= some states is illegal to talk about condoms
Reproductive justice means access to information
Rederick we use when talking about sex
Try not to stigmatize people and groups when talking about this
A big part of thinking about sex is thinking about pleasure as a human right
Part of comprehensive sex education is talking about consent
Yes means yes reading:
Looking for a yes instead of no
California changed sex ed curriculum to include enthusiastic consent
In society we don’t have any models of enthusiastic consent
Consent framework
Fries
There is some cultural shift going toward talking about consent more and more but it’s still
undermined
Another aspect of consent- brings up problems when we think about power
The different power differentials
Is the yes freely given?
If it’s a boss trying to hook up with employee- huge power differential and employee might not
feel okay saying no
Thinking about the power dynamics too
Discussion that there’s power differentials in people in a class too so a lot of consent has to do
with talking through things, making sure everything is okay
*clip on yes means yes
Tea and consent clip
Simplifies things
Useful in thinking about baggage of when we’re talking about sexuality
