Hook Ups by Sex School

Sex School is a subscription website with lots of educational content about many different aspects of sex. I chose to watch "Hook Ups." For the first potion, four individuals chatted about sex, consent, how hook-ups feel, what to expect/not expect with hook-ups, etc. For the second portion, we saw some "Dos" and some "Dont's" with how to initiate a hook-up. We then followed the actual hook-up between two people. 

I appreciated in the first portion how everyone emphasized setting good boundaries and voicing what you want during a hook-up -- that's not something you often see. However, I wish that sort of checking-in had been more present in the actual hook-up demonstration portion of the video. While there was some talk about which protection to use, there was not much speaking between the pair beyond that. I feel the demo was a perfect opportunity to illustrate people openly communicating during sex (describe what they like, voicing/providing content, etc.), and that mark was missed a bit. However, I did enjoy that they really focused on genuine pleasure. Overall it was a great video about hook-ups!
