Sex ed is awkward. But it doesn't have to be

Finally, we want to talk about one of the most awkward conversations there can be - the one about sex, which means this next segment needs a warning that we're about to hear a frank talk about sex and consent.

It's a topic that sex educator Erin Chen thinks we need to be more blase about.
