The TikTok account @sexedforguys aims to improve sex education, particularly among young males disillusioned by traditional teaching methods. Founded by students at Colby College, this initiative creatively tackles critical issues like consent and toxic masculinity through engaging skits. It emerged from a classroom project focused on highlighting gaps in education at elite all-boys schools under the guidance of Professor Adam Howard. Utilizing TikTok allows the creators to reach a significant young audience, providing essential information in a relatable format that counters harmful narratives often found on social media.
"Guys could be scrolling through their TikTok and Andrew Tate will pop up, but as they scroll maybe Sex Ed for Guys will pop up and it'll start having them think a little bit differently."
"TikTok was the perfect platform for sharing his research for two reasons: First, that's where young people are... Second, it provides a much-needed counternarrative to some of the worst content on the app."
