    Question Sex Education

    Become a member to remove this ad.
    What things do you wish you were taught?

    Obviously at a young age, the basics but I think it makes more sense to teach the older generations about real sex, year after year we get bombarded with pregnancy warnings and STI warnings and we know a lot about it but in my opinion it should be taught in sections...for example

    reasons for wanting to have sex
    Bad reasons for wanting to have sex
    What can happen- Mishaps (i.e. condoms coming off, splitting, tearing, frenulum breaking...) and what to do if this happens
    What is a G-spot and its whereabouts?
    Common fears and worries
    What is an orgasm? and what happens to both Men and Women during
    How to dispose of condoms correctly
    and strange as it sounds, how to have good sex!


    It seems today there's much more sex education happening outside class then inside if you catch my drift...and even if people aren't having sex I think its only fair they know as much as they can


    Schools want us to excel in everything we do, and do our best whether its sport, writing, singing, dancing, acting, cooking...you catch my drift so why not sex?

    Obviously its not going to be put into the curriculum and I understand parents not wanting to expose their children to things like this but I don't think its a bad idea for them to hold after school classes or something?

    Why deny young people, who don't know enough and worry, the ability to have a fulfilling sex life? Or even foreplay...A good example is this website...grown women and men unsure on how to please their partners or what to do! Why should a completely natural thing be so taboo?



    I know its completely uncalled for, random and just all around BLAH! but I know I've got a good point in there somewhere

    You do have a good point, but I think at the age it's taught in schools, they are very very young, some not even adolecents yet.. Plus thats the age when the hormones start to kick in and mess around before settling down a little, so as much as one might talk to them about all the things you've mentioned, they're all little rebels, they'll do it just to try it. It's like saying "there's wet paint on that wall, don't touch it" it's mainly kids in their pre-teens or young teens who will go touch it just to see if it really is wet. So with that in mind, think from their point of view. They probably feel extremely awkward talking about sex with an adult.. Now a whole lecture on it?! I don't know.. I'm not saying you're wrong but those are just my thoughts on that.

    Well, Im 17 so Im not exactly an adult yet and I think its in America they finish sex education at 18, which im not far off but after then we're expected to know it all

    But us in the UK, finish school at 16 and thats when our sex education stops completely. From then on its awkward situations, not feeling free to ask questions due to being embarrassed.

    From the point of view from people my age...If we're not ready to have sex it doesn't matter what we know, we still wont. But for those who are ready have everything they need covered.

    For those of us already having sex, like myself, should be informed of things like female ejaculation which lets face it, if you don't know about it and it happens then that wont be a very nice situation for you or your other half if your both sitting there thinking you've pee'd yourself

    Haha! Yes, thinking back to my first time, it would have definitely helped to know about female ejacuation a little beforehand.. "What happened?! :O I dont know?!" lol good times :]
    And hey thats what this site is for. Whatever questions you might have, ask away! Don't be embarrassed; we're all here to help eachother.

    Sex education (in England) is a joke. From the age of 10 or so until 16, I basically heard the words pregnancy, STD and condoms over, and over, and over, and over. I really stopped listening. That, and some hazy memory of a video where I remember this naked guy walking out of the bedroom with a massive c*ck, like down to his knee. What the did they show us that for? Hahah.

    But yeah, sex education could cover a lot more. Like how to give a woman an orgasm, what and where the clit is, some smooth pick up lines and generally some basic psychology of the opposite sex, the importance of swallowing , why women like fast cars, how to tell if a lady is a condom cutter, blah blah blah.

    With the availability of the internet, there is a lot less need for sex education. I think it is still a good idea, but I suspect that children pretty quickly figure out where to get more information.

    The internets can give incorrect information, much like "friends" can.
    Of course, it probably can't live up to the sex "education" I received here in the southern USA, where they told us girls in the 4th grade that had "one hole for pee, and one hole for your period" in our ladyparts. I can't make that stuff up.
    "Health Class" during my brief stint in New York schools was no better ... some STDs mentioned, a Biology teacher who swore that condoms, built to hold back sperm, were useless in preventing STDs, and pregnancy taught to us like it was the worst of all STDs. We never had photos of the aftereffects of infections, nor videos of giving birth, and for that I am thankful.
    Apparently I missed that in high school, where because I took JROTC (which had NO sex education at all, though much like band we had our own kind of education system for that.)
    I'm not sure what all I would have LIKED to learn. I'm not sure I wanted to hear about sex itself or masturbation from my teachers or my parents. I'm sure there are studies out there about what makes for a healthy sex life ... someone should turn that into an EFFECTIVE sex ed program. Too bad America's ueber-conservative government will never allow it, but let the other countries in the world have a chance.
