The goal being to demystify sex - if it weren't whispered about so often behind closed doors it wouldn't have that "I want what I'm not allowed to have" effect. Idk though, I have big ideas but no real plans for execution. This would all also rely on major widespread changes in public education and early childhood education and housing and the homeless epidemic and immigration, etc.

Explain consent with no ambiguity. Show the consequences of STD’s no holds barred. Explain the joys of lust and the pain of a broken heart and everything that’s at stake. Same with gay sex. The process of transitioning - whatever. Bring them in and show them. Just totally demystify it. Hell, it’s one of the few things we have really easy access to for free. You don’t even need a field trip.

Yes, I think by far the most important thing that needs to be done is to get rid of the taboo around sex. It leads to pregnancies among repressed teens, and it also stops people from asking questions, asking for help, or recognising unhealthy sexual situations, and I think it amplifies the use of sex as a power tool. I think it's at the root of pretty much any sexual problem actually (apart from the fact that twisted rapists etc. unfortunately just exist)
