Het jaar 1991 markeert een fascinerend overgangspunt in de geschiedenis van de seksuele voorlichting in Nederland. Terwijl de politiek en de samenleving dachten dat de zaken "op orde" waren, zorgden nieuwe media en de voortdurende aids-crisis voor een verschuiving in hoe we over seksualiteit praatten.

Looking back from today, 1991 appears as a threshold moment. It was a period when society believed it had largely "solved" sexual education (leading to cuts to Rutgers), yet it simultaneously felt the need to launch a major national campaign on consent, indicating unaddressed social problems. It witnessed the creation of both a deeply controversial, explicit documentary and a beloved, taboo-breaking radio program, showing a public hungry for more open dialogue in various formats.

That decision paid off in lower abortion rates, lower STI rates, and a generation of adults who viewed sex not as a dangerous secret, but as a normal, manageable part of life. For any nation still debating whether to teach sex ed, the Dutch blueprint of 1991 remains the most useful case study available.
