In this episode of Out Loud with Rob & Rachel, we’re joined by Martha Kempner, a sex educator with more than 25 years of experience and the creator of Sex on Wednesday.
What starts as a laugh-out-loud story about a school nurse making a wildly inappropriate comment to fifth graders quickly turns into a deeper conversation about sex education, misinformation, and how social media has reshaped the way people learn about their bodies, relationships, and health.
We talk about:
- What sex education looked like growing up in the 80s and 90s
- How misinformation spreads through social media and influencers
- Birth control myths and evolving science
- Abstinence-only education and shame-based messaging
- Parenting in a world where kids get information from algorithms
- Why critical thinking matters more than ever
This episode blends humor, honesty, and real-world experience into a thoughtful conversation about how we got here — and how parents, educators, and adults can do better moving forward.
