about SEX, ETC.

parents & professionals

It may seem strange that SEX, ETC. - a resource by teens, for teens - provides a sexual health information section by adults, for adults. But, let's face it, when it comes to sex ed, we can use all the help we can get. This section was created so that parents, teachers, counselors, and other professionals who work with teens can ensure that young people are well informed and well prepared to make healthy and responsible choices.

In this section, you will find a wealth of information at your fingertips. There are activities that correspond to SEX, ETC. articles, resources, and a Listserv to stay informed about recent research.

Please take full advantage of all the resources available here and on the entire Web site because the only thing more dangerous than a teen afraid to ask a question is an adult too ill informed to answer it.

These lessons are designed to help adults spark lively discussions about vital sexuality topics and turn the articles from SEX, ETC. into interactive, engaging activities for youth. Topics include sexual decision-making, relationships, love, sexual orienation, contraception, abstinence, STIs, sexual violence, body image and much more!

Interested in the latest research but too busy to read the professional journals? Want to be informed about the latest curricula and education resources without having to lift a finger? If so, become a member of our SEX, ETC. E-MAIL Network to receive bi-monthly emails containing research updates, curricula reviews and resources for sexuality education.
