Unless you lived under a rock over winter break, you had access to the internet and, therefore, you had access to Netflix. What does this mean, you ask? It means you should have watched one of the new Netflix Originals, “Sex Education,” and to be honest, I think we need more of it.

“Sex Education” follows a virginal British teen named Otis whose mother is a sex therapist. Her job is to deal with intimacy issues all the while having one-night stands with men who wear her floral kimonos after sex. Imagine having a parent whose job is to help people have better sex. Her line of work calls into question this idea: Do our parents’ careers influence us in ways we don’t quite yet understand? For instance, if we have a parent who is a sex guru with a Ph.D., does this mean that we will become a sex guru minus the Ph.D.? “Sex Education” says yes, even if that child has an aversion to sex in their own life, stemming from deeply rooted issues in their childhood, like Otis does. But that doesn’t mean he can’t be a great therapist.

After being approached by one of the scariest and coolest girls in his year, Otis begins to help his fellow classmates with their delicate and intimate issues, becoming the sex therapist our generation never asked for, but then realized they needed. Dealing with impotence, the inability to orgasm and the emotional turmoil that comes with being in a high school relationship, Otis handles each case with grace and poise and the insight one would expect from the son of a published sex therapist. “Sex Education” deals with sexual health and intimacy in a light-hearted, satirical manner while maintaining a serious edge that informs and highlights the importance of taking care of your personal health, because STIs, UTIs and the like are not sexy.

On top of the obvious sexual overtones, undertones, middle-tones and regular tones, “Sex Education” deals with complicated home situations, homophobic rhetoric and situations and personal discovery while poking fun at the sex lives of teenagers. It’s a much-watch show. Good job, Netflix. Thank you for giving us the sex education we never knew we wanted but definitely needed.
