The topics being covered are not just sex, but also other issues such as abortion, marriage,politics etc.
The name makes it sound like a horny subject and it will struggle to find respect in its early stages but it could go on to establish itself as a respectable essay subject along with subjects like psychology, R.S etc.
I've been told that the subject will be essay work but yeah, even I would prefer the assessed practical. lol.
who know's. in a few years time, it could be a well recognised subject by universities. Politics has made it as it is also new so sex education has a high chance too.
