Increasing depictions of kink in mainstream society are leading to a rise in people seeking to learn about and participate in bondage/discipline, domination/submission, and sadism/masochism (BDSM).

Muscari, Emma; Littleton, Heather; Cunnane, Lindsey – Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2023
Given the prevalence of sexual assault and intimate partner violence in adolescence and young adulthood, it is critical to understand how content on these topics is integrated into school-based sex education as a potential intervention point. However, little research has evaluated how formal sex education on sexual assault and intimate partner…

Evelia, Humphres; Watson, Katherine; Billowitz, Marissa; Kivuvani, Mwikali; Amina, Judy; Both, Rosalijn; Araque, Heidy – Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2023
Peer education is a widely used strategy in sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR) programmes for young people, yet measurement of its effectiveness often focuses on a narrow set of outcomes. This qualitative study explored how peer education was integrated into the "Get Up, Speak Out for Youth Rights!" (GUSO) programme in Kisumu…

This study examined the experiences of 46 (31 women, 15 men) first-semester college students who participated in a…

Ming, Julian; Kelty, Erin; Martin, Karen – Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2021
In remote and very remote Australia, young people engage youth workers in sexual health discussions, often out of necessity due to low access to health services. Youth workers' and youth service managers' perspectives on these interactions and the sexual health training they receive are poorly understood. In this study, youth workers and youth…

J.; McNaughton Reyes, H. Luz; Bonell, Chris – Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2020
Adolescent dating and relationship violence is associated with health harms and is an important topic for sex education.
