SPFPP 261: OHA Series - How Can We Be Better Patients

We talk details about her sex education and how it completely missed the mark for teaching youth to communicate boundaries, consent, and vetting practices for playing in this project that ultimately just said don’t have sex and if you do you’ll be contaminated. Uncoupling pleasure from sex and intercourse from sex allows us to see all that sexuality encompasses. Adults dumb down common sense youth has essentially putting them on an escalator for failure in their sexual relationships to further detour people from sexual pleasure in a safe way. These tools early on can make us better patients to providers and therefore make providers better for patients, but for some reason there’s such a resistance to the comprehensive lessons of sexuality education because intercourse and pleasure are so linked together. Jade speaks to the antistigmatizing health care she received and how that coupled with coaching and kink/sex positivity set her up for success moving forward in her dating life after her chlamydia experience.
