This video primarily interested me because it was made by a Youth Performance Company out of Minneapolis. Although it is cheesy, I think that it does a good job touching on some key points that are probably left out of sex education. The first thing that I noticed was how extremely awkward the two kids in the video are. They seem ashamed about having sex, and I think that is an accurate depiction of how sex is presented in some abstinence only sex education programs. It shows that people should be ashamed of having sex outside of marriage. This video also shows a couple different emotional aspects that come along with sex. Although I'm sure it is not accurate for all situations, it shows the different ways in which girls and boys perceive sex and the emotions associated with each. One of the questions raised was "Have you though about how you will feel tomorrow?" I thought that was an interesting question that a lot of people neglect to consider. In the "heat of the moment" sex may seem like a good idea, but what about when that moment is over?
