According to Common Sense Media, Sex Education is rated TV-MA (for mature audiences) and may not be suitable for children 17 and under. Common Sense Media rated the series appropriate for kids aged 16 and up, and noted that it contains extremely frank sexual content including scenes with nudity and sexual intercourse. The series also contains scenes where the characters explicitly discuss things like orgasms, body fluids, sexual positions, same-sex relationships, and other sexual practices. Each and every episode of Sex Education has been handed an 18 certificate – citing, unsurprisingly, strong sex references.
