Sex education is considered a taboo in society. The dialogues that should, in short, support coherent information and debates about sexuality are transformed into a set of disagreements based on misinformation, revealing an informal sexual education that has been passed down through generations and supported by moral and religious dogmas. The research aims to analyze Netflix's Sex Education series and its relevance to the Sex Education debate. It is an exploratory study that allows us to reflect on the school as an organ inherent to society, which is reflected in a paradigm marked by the reinforcement of common sense linked to the themes of sexuality. Thus, it is noted that the school should be responsible for disseminating a formal sexual education, based on scientific studies about sexuality, but it tumbles on moral and misrepresented concepts of professionals, preventing, consequently, that there is a free discussion of dogmas and prejudices that, effectively, will solve the questions of the students of the current generation.
