I am sure that the series writers studied very carefully the years the show is set in, but I find a bit strange the reaction that Tessa's classmates have about her mother's job as sexual researcher.
I mean, I think teens are more interested and intrigued about sex, rather than shocked and scandalized. Is it a realistic characterization?
It depends, this was back in the day. That's definitely something a kid could be mocked for, bc these are parents we're talking about lol. Plus they're the work successors of Kinsey, a disgusting slime. Have you seen all the episodes Tessa's been in?
shareI'm not surprised at all and would even venture that teens in 2016 would react similar if they discovered that a classmates parent watched couples masturbate/have sex for a living. It's quite shocking to anyone's ears, but particular to immature, hormone-driven adolescents.
