From a 19 year old fan on her sex education before finding The Midwest Teen Sex Show (who are now off in Los Angeles shooting a pilot for Comedy Central): “[sex education in middle and high school] consisted of little more than being shown pictures of STI-infected genitals. It taught me that I really, really don’t want chlamydia, but not much else.” Bringing smart sex ed closer to the mainstream is a huge part of the show’s success — the moo-cows and all the writhing-in-a-cornfield in the opening are there to say “not just for indulgent coastals!” according to director Guy Clark. But series writer and star Nikol Hasler also notes, “Creating something that meant something to me was so much fun, so important. I want people to know, girls especially, that they can do something for themselves, no matter what avenue they come from.” Here’s hoping Comedy Central lets the stupendously popular web show lean more Colbert and less girls-on-trampolines.
