Abstract
The use of sexually explicit media in education is a sensitive teaching area because of the range of adverse reactions sexually graphic images may evoke. The person planning to use a sexually explicit video needs to create a safe environment with time for discussion and they must be prepared to facilitate discussion that will elicit reactions and help viewers deal with them. This paper provides clear goals, objectives, rationale, and guidelines for using Sexuality Reborn. It also provides recommended topics for discussion including references to the key scenes, discussion questions, and comments.
