The invention of normal language for sex ed.

“I like to use a different metaphor: a garden.
...
On the day you’re born, you’re given a little plot of rich and fertile soil, slightly different from everyone else’s. And right away, your family and your culture start to plant things and tend the garden for you, until you’re old enough to take over its care yourself. They plant language and attitudes and knowledge about love and safety and bodies and pleasure. And they teach you how to tend your garden, because as you transition through adolescence into adulthood, you’ll take on full responsibility for its care.
And you didn’t choose any of that. You didn’t choose your plot of land, the seeds that were planted, or it with something healthier, something we choose for ourselves.”

--- Emily Nagoski. “Come As You Are.”

I remember few years ago professor Searle told us that a language to talk about sex for normal people did not exist yet. He said we had a choice between either a cold medical jargon or an obscenity-laced fraternity speak; therefore, he claimed a quality conversation about sex was practically impossible.

This book shows that over the last decade such language has been created. Now, it's possible to see how sex ed can succeed, starting with the current generation of parents and educators.
