Name for a sex ed class for 9th-12th graders
July 9, 2018 11:14 AM Subscribe
Please help me name this sex ed class for 9th-12th graders.
The organization I work for is presenting a general sex ed session. Here is the description:
Join our educators for an afternoon of real talk about teen health, safety, social life and relationships. All 9th-12th graders are invited for food, fun, gifts and gab. We'll cover anatomy and physiology, healthy relationships, sexually transmitted infections, and protection methods.
We are collectively stumped for a title. It needs to appeal somewhat to teens (so we're avoiding words like "safe") but can't be too raunchy (so we wisely shot down "Come again?").
Hilariously, we're very much in the sex ed business, but this is a unique, one-off hybrid of several curricula we're already trained in that ship, of course, with their own awesome titles.
Help? Thanks!

Okay, this is totally left field, but I'd call it Bursanby's Speakeasy. (Birds and bees, see.)
And it'd be 1920s themed. All the welcome signs in art deco. If you do slides for presentations, set some of them up like silent movie cards. Punch and snacks in faux crystal bowls. People can dress up, maybe?

Nothing an adult does ever seems cool to a teenager. Just call it what it is in friendly terms.

My daughter is in your target demographic and of the suggestions so far she thinks Puppet McSockerson's and Sex IRL are the best. (Though she says IRL is sort of dead and mostly only used by old people.)

Ready to Get Down? (Also as a frequent panel member at events like this, if you aren't already doing it, a mandatory, as in everyone has to write *something* anonomous question box is THE BEST for actually giving the youths the info they want and helps guide the discussion, they will never ask their real questions out loud)

Sex and Relationships
Sexual Health and Relationships
I’d probably try to avoid any clever names for the course and just have it be an upfront mature title. Just like we don’t try to make clever names out of Health and Wellness or Nutrition and Fitness or Math. Or American Lit. Just call it what it is.

Anything with "sex" in the title will appeal to teens who want to know about sex. I agree with the idea to avoid cutesy or trendy names; you don't want the kids to be unwilling to talk about what they learned three years from now because the name of the class was a joke.
