Drag them? Shame on you for being like most of the USA media who on one side of their face try to denounce anyone for being gay, and on the other hand just completely devour all the teen sex they can consume. Basically as slutty as they can be especially gay teens, and lesbians...This is a show intended for a young audience that just happens to be good enough to be enjoyed by adults as well. And some PARENTS are watching this show with their kids to help them learn to be more accepting. This kind of comments, and attitude make me ashamed of much of the gay community who talk, and comment this way. (especially being gay myself, and I cringe how some of my community almost prove a point of the anti-lgbtqia+ haters who say we are all about sex and nothing else....)

[@sarakaitlynwalker1960]

This is like the anti-Euphoria. Somewhere in the middle of over sexed, over drugged craze of Euphoria and this nearly puritanical almost non-sexual sweetness of Heartstopper is the actual high school experience.

Both shows are true to life for teenagers in different ways.

[@frosted_1118]

In my opinion both Heartstopper and Euphoria are unrealistic and don’t signify the true high school experience 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@raginglyaccomplishednapper5344]

Actually, when it comes to my old high school, both extremes were very true 🤸✨ It just depended on the friend group : About half of my friends went to raves and did hard drugs on the regular, going to class completely high and drunk af, orgies and shit happening in between minors (ended up in an orgy at 16 before I even had a threesome xcnnxjd) ; the other half of my friends were super vanilla, only had super basic knowledge about sex, never watched porn, and just needed much more time for anything to happen (even without being asexual, interested in sex just not ready to confront the irl thing yet)

[@RicardodaSilvaRdS]

I think the actual teenage scene is a mix of both series. There's the phase of sweet innocence and than the phase of sucking dick and cock. At least it was like that in the schools of the city I live in (I didn't partake in none of those phases because I'm depressed weird loner 😂)

Freud theorized that everyone is bisexual at birth. Through societal conditioning our sexuality (personality in general) is determined fully by age 8. The “gay gene” wasn’t a thing in Freud’s day. He also said a certain % in everyone remains bi throughout life. When you look at nature, apart from breeding season many animals hang in “same sex” groups (all male/all female.) Engaging in queer activity when not reproducing is completely natural. Humans think we’re so far “above” how other life forms in nature behave.

[@gooodmorning4526]

@@davidvento5481 gay gene???? I've never heard of that. But thats interesting, I always assumed people were generally on a spectrum of bisexuality (from liking the same sex to liking the opposite sex, as it can be 30/70, 90/10, etc), except ace and aro people don't fit into that, and there are other complicating factors.

But, i would like to share that for many people that is their favorite thing about this show, precisely because it is the most realistic portayal of their own highschool experience they've seen in media. I always thought other shows were unrealistic when every highschool couple took any chance they got to have sex so its nice to have a show that reflects the lesser expected highschool experience

[@starlight3628]

Absolutely. This world of teenagers having constant sex and doing drugs is such an alien reality to me as my childhood was nothing like that. No one I knew had had sex and the most scandalous thing that happened was a few people would go to the bathrooms to smoke a cigarette. Heartstopper is so relatable to me.

[@christofferaav]

Agreed.

Yeah in my school there were like 10 people having sex and it was a total scandal every time. We weren't sex fiends we were mostly still clueless virgins

It's an age thing, I think. There was a *lot* of sex back when I was in high school, generally as a reaction against the being constantly told the "NO sex until marriage" religious bullshit.

[@witcherye]

​​@@jdb101585im gen z, but my high school experience was like this too, maybe because i lived in a small town idk. there was a lot of religious pressure about being chaste, but most teenage couples were having sex (also drinking was a big thing). so i share an opinion more similar to trixie and katya lol

Watching with envy ( as a 71 year old,) wishing there had been something like this during my adolescence. As you both correctly noted, this is for the kids, full of important, relatable issues, choices, solutions. The myriad of coincidences and the fact that that every friend is either LGBTQ+ or an ally, works in the realm of television. On "Sex Education," the whole cast is banging away on a regular basis and the kids on "Euphoria" are in a very different world than I ever knew. Next season they'll all be eighteen so Trixie might get to see more than she bargained for. And in any case, it's got Olivia Colman, so there's that...

[@semeli1959]

[@bipedaloser]

I've been more recently looking into aegosexual, where you still feel physical attraction and whatnot but usually don't like to be in the situations. May be a poor description but it's a subset of asexual and it has been resonating more with me.

[@fantasylovemagic]

From what you're saying you are probably ace. Asexuality is a spectrum, it's when you feel little to no sexual attraction. What you describe is exactly what a lot of ace people feel, romantic love but little sexual attraction. There are a variety of different ace experiences. I'm demisexual for example (under the ace umbrella) which means I only get sexualy attracted to people I have an emotional connection with. Aromantism is different, it's when you feel little to zero romantic attraction.

[@faceyl]

@@fantasylovemagic I think it's really tricky when you tell someone what their label are, these things are very personal and full of subjectivity BUT as an Ace myself I appreciate you making the distinction of AROMANCE and ACEXUALITY, and mentioned how Acexuality is in fact a spectrum - not every bisexual experiences the same things in the same way to the same degree, same goes for gay and well, us Aces. I really think it's important to speak up against stereotypical traits and even tho there's common feelings between a community, we're still individuals at the end and should not feel like we need to put a checkmark on a list of requirements so we can use a label or to fully belong :)

[@LunaWitcherArt]

Nah, that's just university. High school has a lower ratio still, because many people find themselves only after starting college because everyone is pretty open about who they are already so it -spreads- and people feel more comfortable experimenting.

@@LunaWitcherArt everyone has different experiences. I had an almost completely queer friend group in highschool, and it was pretty large too! there were a bunch of openly queer kids at my school including myself. and this was in FLORIDA of all places. if kids were being openly queer in places like that in the mid 2010's I can't even begin to think how much more common it is in bluer places nowadays.

Also even for my friends who were not ace at all, we didn't really talk about sex/ none of them had sex or super long-term relationships when we were in high school. I know a lot of people definitely do, but I think there's like at least a third of people who don't either because they don't want to or just don't happen upon it! So honestly, this series felt super honest. I feel like Sex Ed also does a pretty accurate job with the more sexual side of high school, without completely overblowing it like you Euphoria and other shows.

I don't think you are. You're just confused." I feel like if I had told her I was a flat-out lesbian she would have accepted it immediately and couldn't wait to show off her gay daughter to all her friends... Bi-erasure is a real and frustrating thing. If I had a dollar for every time I have heard 'You're just confused' or 'just pick one' or 'you're just bi-curious' I would be a god damn millionaire. Plus, since I haven't had a proper girlfriend and have only had one partner for ten years who was a man, my bisexuality is always questioned. Like I have to have also had a long-term female partner to legitimize my sexuality. I'm almost 40 and I count on one hand the number of dates I have been on, let alone only having one relationship. I would also classify myself as demisexual. But even gay people, who I expect would be the most empathetic, constantly question my bi identity because I'm not throwing myself at every woman I come across.
