Sex Education Coming To Channel 4
Supersize vs Superskinny’s ANNA RICHARDSON hosts this ambitious new six-part, cross-platform series examining the nation’s sexual mores. Sex Education will examine a wide range of different personal experiences of sexual issues and problems, as well as offering frank advice and solutions.
The UK is in a state of sexual meltdown. STIs are on the rise, school-age abortion rates are at an all-time high, pornography is ubiquitous and it seems that all ages are finding it easier to have sex rather than talk about it.
In each episode Anna Richardson embarks on a very personal investigative journey and explores a number of sex-related themes. Sometimes self deprecating, but always candid Anna examines her own fertility, the dangers of STIs and what it is really like to give birth.
Anna also examines how to have a fulfilling sex life in a long-term relationship- are burlesque, tantric sex or aphrodisiacs the answer to spicing things up?
In a discussion with a studio audience Anna will be talking to everyone from pensioners to teenagers to unearth the real state of sex education in Britain today – what we know, what we don’t know, what we need to know and what we are really getting up to.
Sex Education also looks at teenage sexual behaviour, using the results of a specially-commissioned nationwide survey.
And to accompany the series a video-based website will capture a rich mix of people’s experiences on a broad range of sexual issues, problems and solutions

The programme concentrates on STIs and anatomy,in a hyped up way mirroring the current hyped up sexual nature of our society. In Holland they have been having sex eduation for 30 years now, starting in Primary School looking at the nature of crushes and relationships, feelings and the heart, giving more explicit sex eduation later on. A context is set for sexuality to happen in and teenagers do not experience the same sense of pressure to have sex, and do not have the incidences of teen pregnancies etc we have. They are capable of making choices in their lives, unlike the boys mentioned in the programme who are seeing a lot of pornography and inviting girls to their hot tub for sexual liason.
