Nikol Hasler of Midwest Teen Sex Show has the driest delivery on the planet, delivering a sound, sensible perspective with a twist that, while a bit snarky, calls attention to conflicting messages about the subject she’s addressing.

While every sexual encounter should be deep and meaningful, so you can avoid being an empty, worthless shell of a person, this episode is for the times you’ll be simply hooking up.

I think I’ve mentioned that because of the snark I really wouldn’t recommend MTSS as direct sex education. On the other hand I think because of the side-issues it raises it would be a great way to introduce topics for discussion in a sex-ed setting.

I’d been brooding lately over the cultural message that sex is “a precious gift” and how deeply that ties in with our commodification of it. The quips in the video summarize a lot of that.
