  Sex is one of those things that's best learnt by doing. Half the fun is in the learning, after all. That being said: sex education is an absolute mess. I imagine that this is mostly because when people start getting interested in sex, society typically thinks they're too young to be having sex, let alone getting any pleasure out of it. And so we (barely) educate on things like puberty, reproductive organs, and STDs, but to my knowledge we never educate young people on sexual pleasure. Would that be awkward? Probably. By and large, anything related to sexual pleasure is accompanied by poorly drawn cartoons, by heavily censored imagery, or by fully clothed people simulating sex. This is, in my opinion, idiotic. Probably caused by the prudeness of advertisers and payment processors ... However, there are some good resources which include graphic content. OMGYes comes to mind, as do Nina Hartley's sex education videos. But it would be nice if we could get more quality content in this space - and break a few taboos in the process.

    Learning by doing is the best, of course, but 1:1 instruction with another naif is not best way to learn.

      Depends on what you're optimizing for. I imagine most people who are in standard 2-people relationships want to be good at pleasuring their partner and themselves. They're not aiming for a gold medal in the sex olympics.
