Sex.
2
Got your attention?
3
We're all living evidence that sex happens, but what we think we know about it often comes from unreliable sources.
4
And I don't just mean your cousin's best friend's brother.
5
As of 2022, only 29 U.S states required some kind of sex ed in schools, and more than half of those didn't require the information to be medically accurate.
6
So let's talk about it.
7
Really talk.
8
Hi, I'm Shambudram.
9
I'm an ASEC certified sex educator and an ABS certified sexologist with a master's in psychology.
10
You might know me as the workshop teacher on Too Hot to Handle.
11
I started learning and teaching people about intimacy
12
because I was tired of how little information many people are given about their bodies
13
and their human rights to connect them with other enthusiastically consenting bodies.
14
Like in the fourth grade, an expert told my class that sex is when a man
15
and a woman who love each other very much want to make a baby so they hug each other very tightly.
16
When I finally took sex ed into my hands via library card at 19, I realized that not all sex education was created equal and the sex ed that most people are subjected to,
17
at least here in North America, has a lot in common with terrible sex.
18
It's dry, impersonal, and leaves you asking, is it over yet?
19
Depending on where you live, sex ed can be woefully inadequate if it even exists.
20
Fewer than half of US states require that sex ed teaches students about contraception.
21
And when it comes to LGBTQ plus people, many sex ed programs either don't talk about sexual orientation or discriminate against anything other than traditional straight relationships.
22
So we here at Crash Course are making a different kind of sex ed.
23
In 15 episodes, we'll meet the usual suspects, penises, vulvas, STIs, and pregnancy, but we'll also be answering questions about orgasms,
24
consent, and the millions of tiny organisms living in the vagina.
25
We'll also get real about masturbation and blue balls, and I promise by the end, everyone will know where the clitoris is.
26
But along the way, we'll also talk about society, which influences what we think, what we do, and how we feel about getting it on.
27
Why isn't there a male birth control pill?
28
What makes someone kinky?
29
And is virginity really a thing?
30
So, whether you're just dipping your toes into the sexual waters, or you been there, done that, we hope you'll make Crash Course Sex Ed a part of your journey.

Practice Tips

To make the most of this practice session, utilize the shadowspeak technique by mimicking the tone and speed of the speaker in the video. Focus on their pacing, capturing not just the words but the emotions behind them. Here are some specific strategies:

  • Play the video at a slower speed to fully grasp pronunciation and intonation before attempting to shadow it at regular speed.
  • Repeat phrases or sentences multiple times until they feel natural. This repetition will help embed the vocabulary into your long-term memory.
  • Record yourself while shadowing the speaker and then listen back to assess areas for improvement in fluency and clarity.
  • Incorporate real-life scenarios where these discussions may occur. This contextual practice will sharpen your competency in IELTS speaking practice as well.

By actively engaging with these materials and techniques, you'll enhance your english speaking practice and be ready to navigate conversations about intimacy and consent with confidence. Embrace the learning process, and enjoy your journey toward mastery!

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
