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

[Parasondox]

I just masturbated and now it's raining. Did I make God cry?

Yeah, sex seems to scare the fuck out of people. Well, some people. Others are open about sex and want to teach sex in great detail. (Porn does not count) This piece seems to be very interesting.


Sorry, not available in the UK but I will find it else where.

TOUCHING YOUR GENITALS IS BAD FOR YOU!!! Do not do it kids. Kissing will get you pregnant, touching yourself will make the baby Jesus cry and sexual thoughts will murder your pets. DO YOU WANT THEM MURDERED?!?!?!?!

Listen, I am just being OTT of course. No one really believes in that. Hell, in the original Carrie, her mother punished her for having her period. Parent of the year right there. That was fantasy and no one is every truly like that. Right?

Sexual education is important for ALL kids and even adults. It helps with development, clearer understanding of how your body works and understanding relationships, safety and enjoyment of sex and letting the taboos and childish laughter disappear. If only some adults understood that, we wouldn't have so much battles over the right to teach sex ed in schools. This isn't just the US here. Each country may have one or two strange idea about sex ed or just sex in general.

Is abstinence best? Well my answer to that is simply no but what do you think?

Does religion play too much of a role when it comes to issuing sex ed because remember kids, your local priest and pastor know a lot about sex and you should see them for the best advice. The former aren't even allowed to have sex.

Does fear really work as the best way of teaching sex ed? No little Jimmy, if you even think about Jessica in a sexual way your wee wee will fall off.

And the more serious question, For those who are parents, how would you approach sex ed with your child? For those who are still in school and college or anyone really, how was your sex ed like?


And finally ladies. I am sorry that in some sex ed vids you have been compared to shoes, keyholes, underwear and any other objects that are used a lot and to be made to feel shame for engaging and enjoying sex. It's 1950s thinking that is, for some fucked up reason, still being used today.

Women enjoy sex too. Get over yourself if you think that is "shameful".

Given more or less absolutely all the evidence we have about the success about abstinence based sex ed, there's a very simple answer to this question.

 

[Vault101]

I think ACTUAL sex ed is important because otherwise people will just learn from porn

and that's a terrible idea

 

[MeatMachine]

The chewed up gum, tape, and dirty used up shoe analogies were deeply troubling, but the main thing most sex-ed programs totally fuck up or ignore is the importance of consent, and how it is not always as simple as being a yes/no issue when factoring things like hesitation and potential inebriation.

I always figured direct honesty is not only the best and most beneficial method of sexual education, but also the most respectful. As I recall, the worst part of being a teenager was how goddamn condescending adults could be, and how they treated me like I needed to be sheltered from my own morbid ignorance at any cost. Lots of teenagers are under the impression that they know more than they actually know, but treating them like they're all the kind of brainless douchebags you see doing donuts in a Wal-Mart parking lot when drunk isn't doing them any favors.

Haha oh man. The Sex Ed at my school was pretty much nonexistant. (I'm from the UK).

We had like 1 lesson on it, which was basically "here, look at these pictures of genitals with STD's / STI's." and "put the condom on the weird purple dildo". Now off you go, horny teenagers!

It's a good thing I wasn't sexually active at all, or I might've been in some real trouble there.

Same thing here. Many many disease photos, and condom on a banana. Oh and "Look kids, this is the beautiful miracle of birth. Nope, that's not a interdimensional rift opening, is a vagina!".

But I really think Sex Ed should be exactly "education". You give enough information to kids so they know how to protect themselves, and that no one is better than anyone just because lost their virginity at 15 or 21, but it shouldn't try to force them to think in a specific way.... HA! Who am I kidding? A school that teach kids to think for themselves? Like that's happening...

 

[Smooth Operator]

Well our sex ed covered anatomy and fuck all else, from the look of things shit isn't much better elsewhere. Sadly porn is where most kids will get the majority of their info, but it's not all bad news because some of it is being made for education and some is just plain dull amateur sex which is the stuff you can expect.

I'm not so sure schools can ever get over the awkwardness of that conversation, never mind all the prejudice that will be infused via school/parents/teachers. So it's probably best to just have an online resource of accurate videos people can check out on their own time, it's not just kids that need those either.

 

[Zhukov]

I always chuckle when this subject comes up.

My school sex ed was really good. Hell, it was fucking stellar compared to what you folks describe.

It was matter-of-fact, comprehensive, didn't focus entirely on diseases, didn't have any of that puritan Christian bullshit and we where allowed to ask anything we wanted and expect an answer. We were also allowed to ask questions anonymously.

 

[God'sFist]

I did't even get one went to a christian private school, so nope never got a class I had heard about those classes going on at other schools but I never had any education on sex or what have you. You know aside from the whole "Sex is bad mmkay."

So to anyone reading this I wouldn't mind having some knowledge that was deprived of me and you know that I've watched porn.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

I don't recall getting much Sex Ed mostly because IIRC most of our science textbooks touched on it's functions and whatnot, as well as internet and just cultural osmosis, nearly everyone had an older sibling in my town.
Girls in my high school got a special lesson one of the days and were all called down to a PSA on their reproductive systems.
We did however get the preachy Christian crowd and the tape metaphor though, but it was used in a relationship context, namely that sleeping around makes it harder to form a more meaningful relationship. (Which does kinda sound legit)
To their credit, it was still pretty respectful, least compared to the tripe the US shoves down kids throats.

It's a good thing I wasn't sexually active at all, or I might've been in some real trouble there.

I'm glad I knew about this stuff already, myself.

But then, that covered my entire education, so that may not reflect the local views on sex.

Except my high school had a daycare while objecting to allowing the nurse to give out condoms. That probably counts as reflecting poorly.

 

[CrystalShadow]

I barely remember sex ed. I think we had, what, one class. Once? In my entire time at school?

Was last year of primary school. Pretty much none of it stuck with me. Like, at all.
May have involved cartoon rabbits? ~shrug~

Then again, I didn't have a single, even remotely sexual thought in my head until I was like... 15? Yeah. Thereabouts...

Not that that's saying much, given what happened after... Not much, is what. XD
I'm in my 30's and can count on one hand the things I've done, most of them horrible, and kinda seeming as though I was half-forced into them...

Anyway, where was I? Yeah. Sex ed is important, though I can't remember what little I might've had in my life.

 

[BytByte]

I remember signing one of those abstinence pledge thingy's as my health class and sex ed took place in Georgia. That was in middle school. By high school, they were showing us all nasty kinds of diseased private parts. Warts is never a good word.

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

Shit, reading through this thread I have to wonder what the hell is up with your school districts.

I'm from Kansas. KANSAS. The butt of countless religious fundamentalism and conservatism jokes. And our sex-ed course in 8th grade was pretty thorough and lasted two goddamn weeks. It wasn't abstinence-only, either, it was "know what you're getting into." The only thing that someone here might find objectionable was that it was opt-out by parental signature.

 

[Parasondox]

Well of course they wouldn't give out condoms. The daycare wouldn't get any new clients. Was the daycare there to make money or charitable?

Maybe I should have just added in my OP about why does religion have a strange attitude towards sex. Making it seem as if it's a sin to talk about it.

 

[BarkBarker]

I learned about sexuality much later than I feel I should as I was responding to things...but not well educated on things. I'd like to see expressions of how exposed and vulnerable physically and emotionally it can be, whether that is a raw primal desire for pleasure or the timidness of not being able to hide from anothers eyes. Some people really are out of touch with their primal self and they suffer so much because of it.

It was there as part of school services. If it made any money, it did so through property taxes.
