What you can do - educate

Comprehensive sex education is key to a successful personal sexual life and a sexually successful society. Unfortunately, comprehensive sex education is being squeezed from both the political and the profit-oriented sides. Conservative politicians have reduced sex education to the absurd by refusing to fund anything but abstinence-only curricula. The pharmaceutical industry has biased sex education towards the medical to sell more drugs.

Fortunately there are many excellent resources you can access for a comprehensive understanding of sexuality: sexual health organizations, sexual health documents, libraries with sexuality collections.
