Sex Education	comment	Sex Education is a Netflix original series created by Laurie Nunn. The first season premiered on January 11, 2019, the second on January 17, 2020, and the third on September 17, 2021. The fourth and final season was released on September 21, 2023.The series follows Otis Milburn (Asa Butterfield), his best friend Eric Effoing (Ncuti Gatwa), and Maeve (Emma Mackey), local outcast and Otis's crush, three students about to start sixth form. Otis' mother Jean (Gillian Anderson) is a renowned sex therapist, and Otis and Maeve start up a sex clinic at his high school based on the knowledge he absorbed growing up around his oversharing mother.Drama, hilarity, and awkwardness ensue as Otis now finds himself dealing not only with his schoolmates' sexual shenanigans and hang-ups, but his own Paralyzing Fear of Sexuality as well.The series is filmed in Great Britain and takes advantage of their relatively relaxed indecency laws. It is Not Safe for Work, though scarcely intended to titillate, focusing more on the awkward and dysfunctional elements of sex.

Sex Education / int_1520ad7e	comment	Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: Hope's initial changes (directing everyone to walk in single file on one side of the hallway and instituting school uniforms) annoy students, but they're not indefensible, and everyone goes along with them, if begrudgingly. After the France trip, however, she takes a hard turn and begins behaving more like a military strongman than a school administrator, at one point forcibly locking Cal in a classroom to prevent them from attending an assembly.

While she's not too bothered about it, it does tip her off about the tension between Otis and Maeve, which strains things a bit.

Sex Education / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
Sex Education / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Jackson tries to bargain with Headmaster Groff to keep Maeve in school, with his participation in an important swimming competition as a bargaining chip. The Headmaster is taken aback but doesn't say anything. Things quiet down for a short time and Jackson participates in the race, only to be told afterwards by Headmaster Groff that he doesn't take bribes, leaving Maeve's fate unrevealed by the end of season one. When Jean finds out about the sex clinic, she's understandably angry. Otis thinks its because he kept it from her (and she is, as it echoes especially problematic behavior from his father), but her real concern is it's The Blind Leading the Blind: he's 16 and unlicensed, and simply knowing the psychology involved doesn't mean he's qualified to give professional therapeutic advice to classmates. Otis is a smart kid, very earnest, and sincere in his desire to help his classmates, but there are some issues where there really is no substitute for experience and extensive formal education. As though to hammer the point home, Florence, a young woman struggling to understand her lack of interest in sex, comes to Otis for advice. Not having been fully educated in the spectrum of sexuality (especially asexuality and its various forms), he assumes she is repressing her libido, possibly due to trauma — the way Otis himself had. This only serves to upset and anger her, and could easily have caused further and more damaging issues had she not been able to speak to Jean shortly afterwards. Jean, being experienced and qualified, very quickly identifies Florence as asexual, and also reassures her that it's a valid way to be. When a man masturbates on Aimee on the bus, she mostly shrugs it off and the episode mostly treats it as a light-hearted B-plot. Except the experience really bothered her - she breaks down crying after reporting it to the police (it very much was a form of sexual assault), and she struggles to get back on the same bus afterward. She spends Season 3 in therapy with Jean to try and deal with the trauma, and the experience basically renders her unable to have sex. Near the end of Season 3, the students stage a protest of Hope's draconian measures during the an Open Day for the school's investors and prospective students. The students had been hoping to convince Hope and the administration to reverse the recent changes. However, as Hope had been trying to sell the investors on the idea that she had gotten the students under control, this gives the lie to that claim. This in turn spooks the investors into pulling all of their funding from the school, causing the administration to close the school before the end of the term. All of the students are thus forced to find alternative measures to finish their education. Lampshaded, as the students comment that their attempt at making a statement backfired massively.

After a spontaneous bout of sex therapy with Otis, it is revealed that he can't get there because of his Parental Issues. He is eventually able to overcome it. Lily Iglehart - who's obsessed with the thought of sexual activity - has vaginismus and is unable to enjoy penetrative sexual contact. She is finally able to experience pleasure from penetration in the final episode of season 2.

Sex Education / int_56d95b5b	comment	High School: Despite the fact that the show is nominally set in the UK, Moordale Secondary boasts many characteristics that are Suspiciously Similar to an American high school, such as varsity sports, locker systems, and a dance that is very much like a traditional American prom. This confused some British viewers.note For one thing, in the UK people graduate secondary education at 16, with the option of attending Sixth Form for further education or continuing on to college (briefly, this is acknowledged in the first episode when Eric talks about them beginning Sixth Form); schools in the UK overwhelmingly have uniforms, though in Sixth Form this is often non-mandatory. Had the show been set in a college, the lack of uniforms and ages of the characters would have made more sense (and some UK colleges do offer lockers, albeit for specific departments only), but even this still wouldn't account for the varsity sports or dance as these aren't typical of UK colleges. The dance, however, does get lampshaded as an â€˜appropriated American traditionâ€™

Otis' father Remi cheated on his mother with his patients regularly, and when she'd call him out on it he would try to gaslight her into thinking she was crazy, which we see did cause her a great deal of damage. Despite being broken up, he still seems to get a kick out of cutting her down about her writing and doing what he can to undermine her belief in herself. Headmaster Groff is psychologically abusive towards his son, Adam and as we find out more about his family in Season 2, towards his wife as well. It finally leads to Mrs. Groff divorcing him.

Sex Education / int_5ce7dbb9	comment	Central Theme: Though itâ€™s not the main theme, the show spends a lot of time showcasing motherhood, and the kinds of relationships that exist between teenagers and their mothers. We are shown how Otis, Eric, Adam, Maeve, Aimee, Lily, Jackson, and even Olivia communicate and clash with their mothers, and the kinds of effects these interactions have. Even Ola, whose mother died before the events of the show, brings up her own mother at times and discusses their relationship. Season 3 magnifies this theme, as Jean is pregnant for the whole season and she and her family face the various challenges that come with pregnancy. Additionally, newcomer Hope struggles with infertility and laments her own inability to bear children, something that is played very straight in spite of her otherwise villainous behavior.

Hope isn't wrong about the need to re-build the school's reputation, and even the most tolerant and understanding of administrators would try to shut down some of the antics we see on campus (at one point Cal, no one's idea of a prude and attempting an Air Vent Escape, spies two girls having sex in a classroom and is pretty nonplussed).

Otis' mother Jean is a licensed therapist who focuses on sex and relationships. She also hosts vagina workshops. She's portrayed as Type III Awesome shrink who really helps her clients. However, her son Otis is her blind spot and she often tries to "therapise" him, and she spontaneously writes a book about his sex phobias. Otis' father Remi is shown to be a Type I Harmful shrink; besides the fact he emotionally bullied his wife and cheated on her regularly, he cheated on her with his patients, who he's implied to have manipulated into desiring him during treatmentnote which at best is highly unethical, and at worst, rape, and having sex with a patient at all is grounds for losing his license, and it directly leads to the trauma that left Otis unable to have sex.

On the plus side: Otis and Maeve convince Adam to take ownership of his family name and his penis size and he manages to orgasm during sex because of it. On the minus side: The "taking ownership" part happens by him flashing the students in the cafeteria which costs him his girlfriend and sets in motion the (further) decline of his relationship to his father. Otis inadvertently sets Maeve and Jackson up officially by uncontrollably spilling her likes and dislikes. It turns out to be a pretty healthy relationship for both of them, but he still went behind Maeve's back to do it. Otis airs his grievances with Maeve and Ola during his house party. While he's arguably justified in thinking he's been mistreated (though he made some poor choices himself), he chooses to do this very publicly, deeply humiliating both girls. Once he sobers up, he is suitably horrified.

Sex Education / int_8f36080d	type	Artistic License â€“ Education
Sex Education / int_8f36080d	comment	Artistic License â€“ Education: Moordale Secondary is, suffice to say, nothing like an actual British Secondary School. For starters, what the school actually seems to be isn't a secondary school, as there's seemingly no students under the age of 16, indicating Moordale is just a Sixth Form (non-compulsory public education provided for 16-19 year olds who haven't gone into a job, enrolled in college, or enlisted). Sixth Form programs are commonly built into an existing secondary school campus so it's entirely possible that's the case here, but the lack of visible lower class students makes this unlikely, and it wouldn't be called "secondary" if there wasn't any, y'know, secondary level students. Secondly, school uniforms are pretty much a normal expectation for secondary schools, which nobody seems to wear in Moordale. Season 3 makes this even more apparent when uniforms do become a mandatory order, but it's presented as a draconian measure and part of Hope Jumping Off the Slippery Slope in her desperate bid to control students and the students are all appalled at the idea, but it's something they'd know is normal. Sixth Form students aren't typically required to wear uniforms because of the more casual nature of things (plus it makes recruitment easier), but everyone's collective disgust and confusion at the mere concept of it makes it apparent they've never worn uniforms even when they were in genuine secondary school level. On top of that, the idea that Hope could institute a uniform out of the blue is pretty much impossible, as such a measure would need to be approved by the school board. This would take months, never mind the fact the school would then need to design a uniform, approve of said design, inform students and their parents, then give them time to purchase and acquire the uniforms. Even just changing an existing uniform would require waiting until the next school term, if not year, to implement. It's possible Hope had already done all this prior, but the way the show frames it as a rash, snap decision made in order to better control the way the students look. On top of that, the attitude Hope has towards the non-binary Cal and Layla, while entirely possible, would be such a big grounds for complaint that she'd have been fired much quicker. Even so, typical school uniforms in England are not "gendered" anymore, girls and boys are both given the same design of shirt, blazer/jumper, and trousers, the only difference is girls have the option of wearing a skirt (some also give boys the option of shorts for the summer, but the fact this isn't universal has led to numerous real-life protests from male students, often by wearing skirts). The rules on piercings and hairdye are entirely possible, though. Other than the uniforms, the school culture is definitely Eagleland Osmosis on the writer's part, as British schools don't, typically, have personalised lockers for the students, and there would be no Carload of Cool Kids or any student driving themselves to school, not unless they'd stolen the car, anyway. The driving age in England is 17, so at the very least, only late in the term or second-term sixth formers would have the legal ability to drive a car. Alongside the lack of uniform, these are all definitely American school customs made popular by American TV and repeated here. The third season mentions Moordale has "investors", and pleasing both them and the school board are both important for keeping the school open. This would imply that Moordale is a privatised academy, but in such case it wouldn't be called "Moordale Secondary", it would be "Mooredale Academy". A Secondary School and Sixth Form would be publicly funded by the Department of Education, based on enrolment number and/or performance.

Sex Education / int_973d220f	comment	Never My Fault: In the first episode, Adam exposes himself to other students after Otis gives him advice about owning his narrative (his massive penis and his father being headmaster). When this inevitably blows up in his face, he blames Otis for it, saying that his advice was shit since Aimee broke up with him and everyone took pictures of him. Adam claims it wasn't his fault. As if he was forced to pick up an urn containing a beloved family member's ashes and smash it over someone's head, in a fight he started. Eric blames Otis for the fact that he was walking home alone on a country road dressed in drag, leading to him being gay-bashed. No acceptance of responsibility for the fact that he left his coat with his wallet and phone in it unattended, so it was stolen and he couldn't buy a bus ticket, nor the fact that he chose to walk home rather than call for help, nor the fact that he didn't ditch as much of the costume as he could before starting. Adam continues the trend at military school; when he struggles with the drill routine, he claims it's not his fault because the gun is broken. The teacher immediately tells him excuses won't fly there.

In the third season, she mentions that she isn't having sex, but is still wanking regularly. In the very first episode, Adam experiences performance anxiety and overdoses on viagra. In season 4, his dad accidentally reveals he's suffering the same problem, and despite being grossed out, Adam advises him on how to take viagra.

Adam himself lampshades this in the first episode. Downplayed with Jean (a sex therapist) and her son Otis, who has a Paralyzing Fear of Sexuality. However, Otis proves to be a fairly competent sex therapist and psychologist as well. Jean has raised Otis with a very sex-positive attitude, and he's quite comfortable discussing female anatomy, which is to her credit, but she must realize that privacy and agency are important to a young person's development, yet she can't seem to stop inserting herself where she's not wanted when it comes to her own son.

Sex Education / int_ae1c0901	comment	When Jean finds out about the sex clinic, she's understandably angry. Otis thinks its because he kept it from her (and she is, as it echoes especially problematic behavior from his father), but her real concern is it's The Blind Leading the Blind: he's 16 and unlicensed, and simply knowing the psychology involved doesn't mean he's qualified to give professional therapeutic advice to classmates. Otis is a smart kid, very earnest, and sincere in his desire to help his classmates, but there are some issues where there really is no substitute for experience and extensive formal education. As though to hammer the point home, Florence, a young woman struggling to understand her lack of interest in sex, comes to Otis for advice. Not having been fully educated in the spectrum of sexuality (especially asexuality and its various forms), he assumes she is repressing her libido, possibly due to trauma — the way Otis himself had. This only serves to upset and anger her, and could easily have caused further and more damaging issues had she not been able to speak to Jean shortly afterwards. Jean, being experienced and qualified, very quickly identifies Florence as asexual, and also reassures her that it's a valid way to be.

It is resolved via this trope, with several students — including some boys — standing up to claim ownership of the photo. What's special is that the person who initiates the entire ritual is the one who sent the picture in the first place, having since learned a lesson via intervention from Otis and Maeve. This also allows the actual owner of the vulva to claim it in relative anonymity. In season 3, episode 5, someoneâ€™s poo hits the windshield of a French personâ€™s car. When Mr Hendricks asks who is responsible, Adam, Rahim, and Jackson all say it was their poo (it was Rahim's). Mr Hendricks even lampshades this trope.

The driving age in England is 17, so at the very least, only late in the term or second-term sixth formers would have the legal ability to drive a car. Alongside the lack of uniform, these are all definitely American school customs made popular by American TV and repeated here.
