Not from the US either, thanks. Ironic that you assumed I was. We did get sex ed from about age 9-10, but it was not in the same breadth or depth as this show.
I would interpret it as explicit rather than sexualised. They are horny teenagers, and the show doesn’t shy away from how that affects thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. The characters are also really obviously cartoon caricatures in appearance, and behave in massively exaggerated fashion. It goes so far past reality that I’d say only cultural hangups or predispositions could make one interpret it as actually sexualised.
