Jane Esselstyn has taught sex in some capacity or another for the last 18 years to a variety of students, parents and educators. The titles have varied from Lifeskills, Sex Ed, The Backcountry Vagina: Our Private Parts in the Backwoods, Emerging Sexuality and Puberty from Head to Toe, to just Health. Jane is an RN, a parent and married to a middle school director. Her specialty is middle school sexuality education. Her winning approach to the topic of sexuality education is a balanced blend of anatomy, physiology and humor. As she says, "Any group of middle schoolers in one room is study in sexuality education. This stage mixes, in kaleidoscopic fashion, parental information, older sibling information, and the Internet with the media, their own curiosity and a range of developed, undeveloped and developing peers. It is a lively, hilarious, formative time - my favorite age to teach."
Jane was asked to create a blog about her experience teaching sex ed. It may be accessed at:
