Netflix’s Sex Education is doing sex education better than most schools
《性爱自修室》的性教育优于学校
Netflix’s comedy Sex Education, now in its third season, is set among a group of students and teachers at a British high school. In depicting sex education, it teaches viewers about sex and sexuality – often doing a better job than school-based sex ed classes.
网飞喜剧《性爱自修室》迎来了它的第三季，本季故事在一所英国高中的一群学生和老师中展开。在描述性教育时，它向观众介绍了关于性和性欲的知识—往往做得比学校内的性教育课堂更好。
In the first episode of season three, Dr Jean Milburn says she was “shocked at the ineptitude” of school sex ed classes. So she created this easy-to-read manual to help empower our teenagers, and their parents, as they become sexually active young adults.
在第三季的第一集中，吉莲安德森博士说她对学校性教育课的缺失感到震惊。所以她编写了一本易读的性教育手册来帮助变得成熟活跃的青少年，并且让他们的父母能进行更好的引导。
We are part of an international research team to interview adolescents and their parents about their perceptions of harm in accessing sexual content.
我们（伊迪丝·考恩大学的两位学者）是国际研究团队的成员，专门采访青少年和他们的父母对于获取性知识的态度。
Our research with teens illustrates they are sexual beings who want and deserve sex-positive information. Too often, this positive side of sex is left out of the classroom.
通过对青少年的研究我们发现：他们是想要并应该获得积极性信息的人群。但性爱的积极面往往被排除在课堂之外。

Sexually provocative, but educational
性挑逗，但具有教育意义
The premise of the show is the teenagers at Moordale High do not receive adequate sex education classes, so Jean’s son Otis and his classmate Maeve set up a sex therapy service for their peers.
该剧的前提是莫戴尔中学的青少年没有接受足够的性教育课程，因此珍·米尔本的儿子奥蒂斯和他的同学梅芙·怀利为同龄人设立了性诊所服务。
These young people seek information about how to overcome sexual difficulties and become better lovers. They find (usually) correct – and always frank – information from Otis and Maeve.
这些年轻人寻求有关如何克服性困难和成为更好的爱人的信息。他们从提供奥蒂斯和梅芙那里找到了（通常）正确、总是坦率的信息。
Sex Education is one example of how stories in popular culture can portray teen sexuality positively.
《性爱自修室》是流行文化中的故事如何正面描绘青少年性行为的一个例子。
For instance, the opening scene of this first episode of season three is upbeat, playful and sexy.
例如，这第三季第一集的开场戏是欢快、俏皮和性感的。
It cuts between at least 13 different moments of sexual pleasure: heterosexual sex, gay sex between young men, gay role-playing sex between young women, masturbating while watching porn, online sex, virtual reality sex – and the pleasure of reading a book while eating cheese puffs.
它在至少13个不同的性快感时刻之间进行切割：异性性行为、年轻男性之间的同性恋性行为、年轻女性之间的同性恋角色扮演性行为、观看色情片时的自慰、在线性行为、虚拟现实性行为——此外还有边吃奶酪泡芙边看书的乐趣。

This sequence is sexually provocative, but it is also educational. It shows a range of desires across ages, races, sexualities and body sizes.
这一系列的镜头是具有挑逗性的，但也有教育性。它显示了不同年龄、种族、性取向和体型的各种欲望。
There are none of the messages about abstinence and fear often associated with representations of teen sex, and no coy curtain-wafting standing in for sex.
这部剧中没有把青少年性行为与禁欲和恐惧等捆绑的镜头，性生活前也没有遮羞布。

Teenagers and porn
青少年与色情
This TV show complicates the idea that pornography is only harmful to teens.
这部电视剧使色情作品对青少年百害无一利的传统观点变得立体化。
Watching porn can be “a bit of fun”, to quote one character, but also a source of misinformation about sex. Sex Education debunks this misinformation.
引用一个角色的话说，看色情片可能有“一点乐趣”，但也是关于性的错误信息的来源。《性爱自修室》揭穿了这一错误信息。
Teenagers as consumers and producers of pornographic and erotic narratives can use these stories, and the stories in Sex Education, to develop an understanding of sexuality and supplement the information provided in school curriculum.
青少年作为色情和色情故事的消费者和生产者，可以利用这些故事以及《性爱自修室》中的故事来增强对性的理解，并补充学校课程中提供的信息。
It is important misinformation is corrected.
纠正错误信息是很重要的。
This seeming contradiction about pornography aligns with a report written by the Australian Institute of Family Studies about the effects of porn on young people.
这种关于色情的矛盾与澳大利亚家庭研究所一项关于色情对年轻人影响的报告一致。
This report highlights the lack of information about how young people access sexual content (unintentionally or intentionally); about the content of pornography they view; and about teenagers’ ability to distinguish between the fantasy pornography represents and the reality of their sexual experiences.
这份报告强调了关于年轻人相关信息的缺失：如何获取性内容(无意或有意);观看什么色情内容;以及青少年区分色情作品所代表的幻想和他们性经历的现实的能力。
The report also found very few accounts from teens themselves about their experiencesaccessing sexual content online and any perceived harm from it. It points to a need for further research, which includes the voices of adolescents.
报告还发现，很少有青少年自己描述自己接触网上色情内容的经历，以及从中感受到的伤害。它指出需要进一步的研究，包括青少年的发声。

Teaching pleasure
教学乐趣
Dr Jacqui Hendriks, who coordinates Curtin University’s sexology courses, believes sex ed should include discussions of pleasure rather than focusing primarily on reproduction.
协调澳大利亚科廷大学性学课程的Jacqui Hendriks博士认为，性生活应该包括对愉悦的讨论，而不是主要关注生殖。
In Western Australia, a group of researchers have identified the “need for a greater focus on positive sexuality and relevant contemporary issues” in the classroom.
在西澳大利亚，一组研究人员发现，在课堂上"需要更加关注积极的性行为和相关的当代问题"。
Young people deserve lessons on the pleasure of sex, too.
年轻人也应该学习性生活的乐趣。山姆·泰勒/NETFLIX © 2020
Sex Education challenges a commonly-held perception teenagers should be protected from the harms of sex and sexual material. The stories told by teens and about teens can be crucial tools to open conversations between children and adults about sex.
传统观念认为青少年应该受到保护，免受性和性爱资料的伤害，《性爱自修室》这部剧对此提出了挑战。青少年讲述的故事和关于青少年的故事，可以成为儿童和成人之间就性问题展开对话的重要工具。
Shows like Sex Education highlights the need for more comprehensive sexual education not only in schools but in communities and in the family home itself.
像《性爱自修室》这样的节目强调了不仅在学校，而且在社区和家庭本身进行更全面的性教育的必要性。
