Coming of age is more than just jokes about sex

i think the show's title "Coming of age" is a bit mislinding with what they want this show to tackle... I noticed something watching series 2, at first glance the series so far both one and what you have seen of series 2 you would think that there being immature, and there main basis for being on the show is because they think about sex alot, thrown in with a few puns and fowl mouthness... which i feel is comedy of that mind set at that age.

But something i noticed and its quiet present since series 1, the show isnt really about sex, but first times... first times for everything. I think this is more apparent with the character DK. let me give you a run down of each episode. bit of a spoiler but no more than what you read from a synopsis.

Episode 1 - This was an episode about the reprocution of cheating which is a first for each character, and doesnt all relate to partners.
Episode 2 - This was an episode about trying something new for the first time.

I could go through all of them but you get the general idea, have a look.

The way I see it is that nearly all the episodes have storylines which in one way or another revolve around sex or the effects thereof.

Ep 1: One of the characters reveals that he slept with his girlfriend, they spend the entire episode talking about this.
Ep 3: A student wants to sleep with his new french teacher, while another poses nude but gets an erection, and two others find ways to improve their sex life.
Ep 4: The group of friends try to cover up one of the characters that is in a relationship has slept with someone else.
Ep 5: A couple try to find something that they like about each other beside sex, another couple try and gain entry to a film named 'Sex Fart 3'.
Ep 6: A boyfriend learns more about his girlfriend in exchange for sexual favours.
Ep 7: The regular principal is replaced by a more laid back one who is obsessed with sex.
