Recap / Sex Education S 1 E 1 Episode 1

Go To

Otis is a student who is about to start sixth form. Although his best friend Eric tells him everyone else has been having sex, Otis is awkward around sex and can't masturbate despite the fact that his mother Jean is a sex therapist.

The headmaster's son and school bully Adam is having trouble finishing while having sex with his girlfriend Aimee. When Adam comes over to Otis's house for a project, he discovers Jean's sex decor, and spills the beans at everyone at school, embarrassing him — but his lab partner, the local 'bad girl' Maeve, takes notice. Otis and Maeve later find Adam in an abandoned building, Adam admits that he feels insecure, and Otis manages to give him advice. The next day, Adam flashes everyone at school and manages to orgasm while having sex with Aimee.

Maeve is impressed with how Otis handled Adam, and offers to start a secret sex therapy clinic at school with him.


Tropes:

  • Anorgasmia: A primary topic of the episode, with much of it revolving around Adam and his inability to... Finish.
    • Otis himself is also revealed to struggle with this.
  • Auto Erotica: Maeve and Jackson are seen having vigorous sex in a car.
  • Parental Sexuality Squick: Otis is perpetually embarrassed by his mother's occupation as a sex therapist and openness with her sex partners around him.
  • Scenery Censor: Near the end of the episode when Adam flashes the entire cafeteria this is hidden by various objects around, including a student's head. This is immediately subverted by a close up shot from between Adam's legs.
