Gothamist interview with Ellen Friedrichs, sex educator
Jan 31st, 2024 by Audacia Ray
Rachel Kramer Bussel interviews one of my favorite people in the world, Ellen Friedrichs, about being and becoming a sex educator:
Over the past five years, Ellen Friedrichs has given sex advice to hundreds of teenagers and adults, answering questions about penis size, pregnancy and orgasms, and has worked at the Museum of Sex, taught at Rutgers University and run sexuality workshops at high schools, NYU, Baruch College and many other institutions. Armed with a Masters in Human Sexuality Education, the 30-year-old, Brooklyn-based teacher, author and educator has set out to provide “saucy and scientific sex education and advice,” and has even taken her work to India, setting up sex ed curricula. She recently contributed to Best American Sex Essays 2005, with her piece “South Bronx Sex Ed” and is now working on a book focusing on the hidden lives of teenage girls. (Full disclosure: This interviewer is a friend of Friedrichs.)
