#90 The Banned Sex Educator: Film, Shame & Sexual Freedom with Dr. Mark Schoen
Description
What happens when sex education is left to shame, silence, and the internet?
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Mark Schoen — sex educator, filmmaker, and founder of SexSmartFilms — to explore what decades of teaching human sexuality have revealed about shame, censorship, and sexual freedom.
We explore:
- What decades of sex education have taught Mark about desire.
- Banned books, censorship, and why sexual honesty still scares people.
- How film can teach what classrooms often miss.
- Cultural differences in sexual messaging.
- Mark’s work with William Masters, Betty Dodson, and his transgender film project.
