DESPITE the title, Netflix Sex Education viewers were shocked to see a graphic sex scene within the first minute of the series.

The opening scene shows characters Aimee Wood (Aimee Gibbs) and Adam Groff (Connor Swindells) getting down to business, but it all ends awkwardly as Adam fakes an orgasm.

The comedy-drama follows "socially awkward high school virgin” Otis Milburn (Asa Butterfield) who lives with his sex-therapist mother (Gillian Anderson) as he teams up with classmate Maeve (Emma Mackey) to deal with students’ sex problems.

One viewer tweeted: “The first scene of Sex Education transitions immediately from “ooh that’s a G-Plan Saddle sofa and armchairs” to REALLY GRAPHIC NUDITY and it is not ok.”

One joked: “It’s hard to watch @sexeducation in public. First scene is always intense #SexEducation #Netflix”

Another added: “I just started Sex Education but I had to put my headphones on cause wow the first scene is explicit and I don’t want my flatmates thinking I’m watching porn.”

The show, which viewers are calling for a second series, is also being hailed by fans as similar to E4’s Skins due to similar characters.

Maeve, due to her bad-girl attitude, is being compared to Effy, while Aimee has been said to look like Cassie.

Somebody noticed: “Sex Education is like today's version of Skins. there better be a second season. It was too f****** good.”

Another added: “Maeve from Sex Education is just a BTEC Effy from Skins, let’s be honest.”
