Meet Dr Ed: Your Private, Judgment-Free AI Sex Education Avatar

What is Dr Sex Ed?

Dr Sex Ed is an AI-powered sex education avatar from a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Pick your avatar, start a real-time video chat, and just talk. Your avatar listens and answers out loud, clearly, kindly, and accurately. No blushing, no lectures, no judgment.

Our mission: reduce sexual assault and STIs through accessible, accurate, judgment-free education for everyone, anytime, anywhere.

Why this matters

Education is the key - and interactive AI can make a powerful impact, providing accessible, judgment-free knowledge that can change lives.

Make your avatar your own

Some questions are easier to ask a friend. Some are easier to ask a dad. With Dr Sex Ed, you pick who's answering.

Name your avatar

Dr Ed is here by default (Eddie, to his friends). Prefer someone else? Rename your avatar anything you like, or pick Ruthie (a nod to Dr. Ruth) or Candi.

Choose age, gender, and orientation

Pick an avatar whose age, gender, and sexual orientation feel relatable, so answers come from a voice that gets you.

Choose a likeness and a persona

Choose how your avatar looks and the role it plays: a calm dad, a big sister, a trusted friend, or a straight-talking educator.

Change it anytime

Swap personas whenever the mood strikes. The voice changes; the evidence-based facts don't.

What can you ask Dr Ed?

• Consent and healthy relationships: consent is ongoing, a conversation, not a checkbox.
• Contraception: pills, IUDs, implants, condoms, and emergency contraception, minus the confusion.
• STI prevention and testing: what testing is, what it isn't, and why it's an act of care.
• Puberty and growing up: bodies, boundaries, and staying safe online.
• LGBTQ+ inclusive sex ed: answers that affirm every gender and sexuality.
• Adult sexual health: intimacy, menopause, and wellness at every life stage.
• Parents: practice "the talk" before you have it, calmly and honestly.

Is Dr Ed OK for kids and teens?

Yes! Everyone can start chatting. Dr Ed asks your age early on and keeps things age-appropriate. If you're under 13, after a quick hello Dr Ed asks for a parent's email and sends them a confirmation, and you can keep going once they say yes. Until then we collect only that parent email, nothing about you, and if they don't confirm in time we delete it.

Can an AI replace my doctor?

No. Your avatar is here to teach, not diagnose. For symptoms, testing, prescriptions, or emergencies, it will point you to a real healthcare provider.

Is Dr Sex Ed LGBTQ+ inclusive?

Absolutely. Inclusion is one of our core values, and our answers affirm all genders, sexualities, cultures, and abilities.
