Sex Ed: The Blueball Edition in HD and locked at 30fps

[Tsun Tzu]

...Unless they're one of those people who are really into being dominated, in which case it gets a bit murk- Nah. No still means no, unless you're familiar with your partners kinks. Always best to err on the side of caution anyway. In most things, come to think of it.

That's where safe words comes in and communicating with your partner before hand is advised. Making sure things don't go too far and crosses any lines.

Hopefully this doesn't count as a low content post, but the only response to this that I can think of happens to take the form of a video.


It describes the potential quirks of such things quite well. ^.^

Just let people do what they prefer, children learn eventually through either observation, talk or trial and at worst will have some awkward moments.

You're forgetting about STDs, teenage pregnancy, and rape, to name a few. There's a lot worse that can happen than "some awkward moments".

I'm not saying no sex ed, just continue what they're doing now. At least saying rape is pretty silly since it's a violent act regardless (unless you involve drugs and then it goes far further then "sex ed").

Well, lets go over a few things being done now in the U.S.


1: The number of states that mandate sexual education= 22 of 50.

2. The number of states that require the information in such classes be medically accurate= 13 of 50.

3. The education over all isn't standardized, thus "what they're doing now" for sex education can change not just from state to state, but from school to school.

As John said on his show, if you had a good sex education, that's a great thing. However, that's not the majority of people sadly. Then again, if only 13 states want the information to be medically accurate, it truly would be mad to expect most people to actually get a good sex education.

The thing missing from what ou said is data, is the amount of STD's or underage pregnancies larger in the state that don't have sex ed?

Short answer after looking around, yes. The rates of teen pregancies are higher in states without good sex ed.

Long answer, these:

Here's a little something about STDs and sex ed too.

To shorten it all for ya: Yes, not having good sex ed makes it more likely that teens(and adults) will get unwanted pregnancies or STDs.

Lets step back a second from the data though. Lets also forget for just a bit that having good sex ed increases that chances that teens(and adults later in life) won't get STDs, won't get pregnant before they're ready, and generally have an increased chance to grow up with a healthy/safe sex life.

Lets forget about all that and just ask a couple questions.

Is it such a crazy idea that we should mandate that all sexual education be MEDICALLY F@#KING ACCURATE?!
For what reason should we keep our sex ed in that state?

My sexual education in middle school was basically an explanation of what was happening to our bodies and that condoms don't work because they are so thin, so we should be abstinent until we got married. The closest thing to a sex talk from my parents was my mom sitting me down for 5 minutes, once again, in middle school, and telling me that I shouldn't masturbate and that if I ever did, she would take away my computer. It's been 8-9 years since then and, as a 20 year old man, I'm still terrified of being caught lest the computer that I bought and built myself be taken away by my mother.

That's a lot of false fear being installed in your life at a young age. Condoms too thin? Do they want to do the ancient Egyptian method? Sorry blueballing was the answer. Don't worry, your mother won't take your things away cause YOU paid for them.

Abstinence. Using fear to stop sex.
