The purpose of SHARE is to “advocate for and promote comprehensive, inclusive, and evidence-based sexual health education for students in grades K-12, The Ohio State University, and the surrounding Columbus communities.”

SHARE’s Instagram page informed students that SHARE will “provide a mini-inclusive and medically accurate sexual health course for anyone interested” and that students can learn about “inclusive language” and “condom negotiation.”

In 2021, Campus Reform reported that Ohio State hosted a “Sex Week.” The Sex Week addressed topics such as “Decolonizing Porn” and “OnlyFans: Behind the Scenes.”
