Why I am passionate about sex education
A 2019 survey of 2000 participants asked respondents to find the clitoris on a medical diagram. One-third of BOTH men and women couldn't find it because they didn't know what a clitoris was.
Let’s change that. The clitoris is homologous to the penis. (Note: Researchers didn't ask them to identify a penis.)
So, if you are an educator, email me, and I will send you a higher-resolution version of any of my anatomical illustrations.
If you are not an educator, I can send you a licensing contract. All artwork is ©Carlyn Beccia. Children’s book art and writing must go through my agent.
