When Adam and Otis have to work together on a school project, Adam visits Otis and discovers his mother Jean's study. Adam tells everyone the next day that she is a sex therapist. Otis and Maeve, trying to calm him down, find Adam in an abandoned toilet building who has a painful erection after taking three Viagra pills. Adam shares how he feels while Otis gives him advice: Don't let the pressure that he has a big penis and that his father is the headmaster put him under pressure. The next time Adam has sex with Aimee, he will have an orgasm. She separates from him anyway because he showed everyone his penis in the school cafeteria. Adam breaks a new deal with Otis to stop bullying Eric and continues to harass him at school. Maeve suggests that Otis offer anonymous sex therapy to the students outside Moordale. She would take care of business matters and the two would split the profits. | |||||

criticism
Alex Abad-Santos writes on Vox that “ Sex Education surprises by [the series] going beyond the obvious jokes” and “is one of the few works that [goes beyond the normal] to address the insecurities and emotions of To give depth and valuation to teenagers who coexist with raging hormones and mythical sex drives ”.
In The Guardian , Lucy Mangan writes that “[this] Netflix show about the life of a sex therapist's son [...] could have been so easily embarrassing. Instead it is a wonderful, warm, tongue-in-cheek, funny creation ”.
Daniel Sander from Spiegel Magazin praises the series: "Otis ... is not real, but his problems are, that's why the series is so good." The author sees Otis as a typical representative of a whole generation of young people who have the feeling to be very well informed about sex, but ultimately to be deeply insecure in practice.
CNN's Brian Lowry says , “ Sex Education, on the other hand, feels a little too shocked - with lots of teenage groping and a well-endowed character dropping his pants at school - with no characters established get a lot of resonance in the first couple of its eight episodes ”.
Antonia Eichenauer writes on funky.de that Sex Education is “the best series ever” and that “the characters keep getting naked and let us look deeply into their emotional world, which is only possible because the actors are top notch” .
