How have we as mankind managed to function until now? Boston University has announced plans to offer a sex ed seminar as if it were taught at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Yeah. The university has taken something sex-less and made it into an open, free-flowing, fun discussion on everything from safe sex to sexual health.

“[Sex education] hasn’t been done in this context, and it’s definitely a subject matter J.K. Rowling ignored in a major way,” Jamie Klufts, one of the Boston University graduate interns who came up with the idea, told The Daily Free Press. “It’s highly unrealistic to believe that students of middle school and high school age aren’t thinking about sex or engaging in it, or at least coming to terms with their changing bodies and sexual health.” 

The event's site boasts that “at this event, half-bloods, house-elves, and muggles alike will learn the proper way to get consent to enter one’s chamber of secrets and how to snog without getting hogwarts.” While it's decidedly super silly, the seminar will be addressing some pretty important talking points.

“The goal is to use a creative lens to teach sexual health,” Klufts said. “Sexual health is often a topic that can provide a lot of discomfort, but by using Hogwarts and Harry Potter language, we hope to enlighten students and also make them more comfortable with learning about it. Additionally, it allows us to reach an audience that we may not have reached otherwise.”
