No. Sex education is to talk about safe sex, STI's and how to prevent them/treat them, how to use a condom properly etc.
Teaching someone how to give a good blow job or explain to a man where to put his hands isn't really education, it's not hard to figure that out yourself. Where as, a lot of people seem to struggle with the STI thing.

I think they should at the very least address the clitoris. It's all well and good that I know how to put a condom on a banana and that if I insert x into y I may have a baby, but damn it, I don't want to have to EXPLAIN to my sexual partner what that nubbin is.
It is an important part of sex, so if you're going to scare youths into wearing three condoms at a time, you might as well let them know that girls can get please from it too.
Guys will most always climax. Many girls will not.

I think promoting (not 'teaching') communication between partners could be a good thing. People (especially younger people) can often be reticent about sex. Encouraging them to be forthcoming and open with their partners about what they like and don't like could help them develop a healthier sex life as a result.
...but actual standardized instructions? That's just too creepy.

I think that comes down to the people in a relationship. Everyone has different likes and dislikes. Each couple has to learn how to please their partner on their own. Exploring your partner plays a big part in developing intimacy. It is something I don't believe you can teach in sex ed.
ehhh...no. but there's nothing stopping the teacher's from telling it.
But i think people already know enough with all the filth floating around in the internet. There are some things that only the internet will teach, such as what furries are. try finding that in a textbook

I'm voting no, simply because I don't see a public school having a GLBT friendly curriculum, and I'd rather fail the class than listen to instructions on how to pleasure a man.
Gosh i allways love reading these kind of topics here on the Escapist.
In my sex-ed class, we learned about everything. From diseases to anal sex. Actually we watched a movie that was about 2 hours long, where one hour was a guideline in having fun, stimulating and safe sex. And yes, that movie showed us positions also. From missionary to the jackhammer.
And you know what? None of us, was uncomfortable with it. Because if your raised in a place where you ain't scared of the human body, the human body is a beautiful thing.
God i love being scandinavian.

No, it should just be about practicing safe sex and what-not.
Besides, different people like different things and it's way more fun to figure it out through practice.
Learn by doing etc...

Although I'm fairly certain it was non-standard, my sex ed teacher did teach us a little bit about how to pleasure the other partner.
Sometimes it was fairly innocuous stuff, like pointing out how a woman takes longer to go from standing start to orgasm than a man, so more foreplay for women, whereas other times we literally had classes on where the erogenous zones were. It was particularly disturbing because our sex-ed teacher was well into her sixties, and was discussing how sensual it could be to have a partner suck on your toes after a nice bath together.
But then again, it's five years later and I've put everything I was taught to very good use. I think it's important because otherwise sex is just being broken down into its component parts which I don't think is very, well, sexy. It wasn't like she was handing us an instruction manual that we learned by rote, she just added in her own personal experiences with sex as a guideline should we ever find ourselves in the position.
I should probably also add that my first sex-ed lesson with this teacher was when I was 11, which was a little weird.
As a side note, I do think it's important that a sex-ed teacher should have had sex, as a job requirement. Because otherwise there is no personal experience. An English teacher reads books, a Maths teacher does maths, a sex-ed teacher should have had sex.

I don't think it would make the sex any better for the students. Most good sex is learned on your own, and having a 50 year-old teacher tell you whats good and what isn't would make things pretty awkward.
70% of the actual physical side are things that I've learned on my own, so there would be no need. Just tell me where the condoms and birth control are, okay?

I sort of wish we Norwegians could be more like you Danes on some points.Napierdalac said:Gosh i allways love reading these kind of topics here on the Escapist.

I mean, the basic stereotype of a Dane is basically a nudist.
Probably falls beyond the scope of general education.
Not that it wouldn't be useful, but one would have to question whether tax money should be spent so leisurely, and whether it's even possible to say much on such a subjective experience which can generally apply to all humans.
I'm sure there are private Kama Sutra classes or something one can enroll in, and pay for tips on better sex out of one's own pocket. Could be well worth the money.

The idea of circumcision was NEVER addressed in any of my schools. I had no idea anyone would even do such a thing before the Internet came along, to be quite honest.Shiny Koi said:
And yes, while people will know what it is, from my experience, most school just say its another part of anatomy, and avoid the fact that it seems to be there specifically for pleasure. They talked about how boys can masturbate, but avoided whether or not girls could or how they could, if so inclined. If I remember correctly, I was advised to get a mirror and look at it myself.
I just think its so ridiculous that how in some ways societies can be so open and brash about sex and sexuality, in the form of songs and television shows, but shy away from actually talking about it with their kids, or teaching them how it can be good, even though certain songs quite clearly state it.
I mean, the concept that sex could even feel good wasn't properly introduced to me until I was nearly 13.
