In Closing:
There are a variety of ways to break into the field of sexuality education. For example, The Good Vibrations Magazine has a special section named: Sex Education Profiles. Every two weeks they highlight a sex educator to show how other professionals have begun (and continue to) work in the field. Click here to read dozens of fascinating professionals journey into the professional world of sex education in its many forms. You can also read The Center for Sexual Pleasure and Health’s Sexuality Professional, titled Hump Day Hero’s every two weeks.
My colleague and first employer, Bill Taverner, wrote a wonderful piece, Tips for Emerging Sexology Professionals. He’s a master in the field and his words offer so much information, it is a must read for anyone thinking of entering this field.
Regardless of which path you choose or what environment you work in you will be affirming that sexuality is a natural, healthy part of life and that all individuals have the right to manage their own sexual health. Through your work you can help individuals access the knowledge and information to realize that right.
