Season 5 - Episode 10: Even though sex education is such an everyday aspect of our life because it can impact a person from the moment that they're born to their death bed. Because it's such an everyday part of our lives, I thought it was really integral to only have this information in Bangla, because it's meant for aunties, it's meant for uncles, it's meant for our parents. It's meant for people back home. I can't even begin to tell you the kinds of questions that I've received, and it makes me so sad because a lot of the questions that I received from people living in Bangladesh, it's questions and answers that kids ask here in the United States. One of the first emails I received, I had someone ask me, "I'm getting married this weekend. How do I make sex enjoyable for my wife?" That was really overwhelming because I didn't think I was going to get so many intimacy questions so quickly. I want to be respectful of the Bangladeshi culture. I'm mindful of the fact that it is somewhat conservative, and I respect that completely. So that's why I'm trying to come at it from a public health perspective. But I started getting all of these intimacy-related questions from men, women and people of all different genders, different backgrounds, and whom all look different. I had students reaching out to me about their boyfriends. I had niqabis reaching out to me about how to please their husbands. It was really eye-opening to me, and it also made me realize my own biases that might not be right because Bangladesh has a population of over 160 million. So that's a lot of sex. I think we shy away from this topic, but we're clearly doing it.
