Often, we learn about the horndogs and the bees in a high school sex-ed class. I fondly remember my gym teacher awkwardly mumbling through diagrams of the reproductive systems with a few dozen pictures of the horrors of herpes thrown in for good measure. The message was clear: Abstinence until death or you will get the clap, you dirty slut! There was no follow-up Q&A session.
That is where esteemed sex columnist and Chicago native Dan Savage and his new MTV series, “Savage U,” come in, loudly, proudly and sheathed in latex. The show, which debuts at 10 p.m. Tuesday, follows Savage as he takes his expertise on the road, visiting college campuses across the U.S. and dispensing sex advice better than anything your 10th-grade gym teacher could diagram on a chalkboard. Savage’s show gives Millennials something we’ve been yearning for since puberty: grown-up sex-ed.
