EXCLUSIVE: Asexuality activist Yasmin Benoit speaks to OK! about working on the script Netflix show Sex Education and why its asexuality storyline is so significant
After two years away from our screens, Netflix show Sex Education is back for its fourth and final series. With the likes of Otis Milburn and Eric Effiong , heading to their new school, Cavendish College, viewers will see the former Moordale Secondary students attempt to navigate their new setting.
“It’s such a milestone moment. There's been so much campaigning over the asexual community to be represented on the show and to have an asexual woman of colour written by an asexual woman of colour is a pretty big deal,” she says. “Asexuality means experiencing little to no sexual attraction towards anyone, regardless of their gender,” she explains. “People often assume that you’re making a lifestyle choice or you’re being anti-sex or that you have something wrong with you, but it’s just a type of sexual orientation. It’s a natural variation in the way that people experience sexuality.”
“It was only until I reached my early 20s and started to build a platform that suddenly people started to listen and believe.” And with O being Cavendish College’s resident ‘sex-pert’, Yasmin hopes that the storyline will help to tackle some common misconceptions surrounding asexuality.
