Who is Otis Milburn in Sex Education?
The teen therapist who can't take his own advice · The Milburn Practice
Otis Milburn (The teen therapist who can't take his own advice) is a character in Sex Education, part of The Milburn Practice. Otis Milburn grew up in a house where the word 'vulva' is breakfast conversation — his mother is a famous sex therapist — and absorbed the entire clinical vocabulary while remaining personally incapable of intimacy. When school outsider Maeve Wiley discovers that the awkward kid can talk anyone through their sexual panic, they go into business: a clandestine clinic in an abandoned toilet block, her management, his inherited talent. Otis can fix everyone's love life except, episode after agonising episode, his own.
