Sex Education
Sex education failed me
Vaginas and penises, pregnancy and prevention
But nothing on consent and the depth of NO,
On the pressures that pushed me lower on my knees .
Sed education, you failed me
You never hinted at boys, girls and all the inbetweens
So you left me confused when I chose all.
Why not teach me sex is sometimes followed by regret?
Your vaginas are stagnant, very unlike mine
Penises unlike most
Parties unlike TV-
Pills and vague propositions.
Sex education, you've only helped to handicap me.

Author's Note
Learning about sex and the culture around it has always been a whirlwind journey for me and I've always been upset with the education system for giving us a bland understanding of sex in its entirety
