  1. You mean it wasn’t already?!

    This feels like one of those things which is only an issue because everyone thought it was already solved.

  2. As it should be! Sex education is so important for health and well-being, and everyone should have access to it.

  3. People have sex, pretending they do not is not going to stop young people from trying. Knowledge will do more to protect them than sheltering them until it is too late.

  4. Ugh. Honestly that would be great and all way better than learning about it first hand from porn especially for men. But if the quality of the education is lacking which it will probably be than i really don’t care because it’s not good enough.

    We need to know how the body works. What’s natural, healthy and normal and what’s not. Consent and identify abuse or when you’re being manipulated in order to give consent. Self confidence like size and shapes of your penis, breasts, body, vagina etc.

    All I was shown was a nudist family walking around naked doing daily things like brushing teeth and that’s about it really. I learnt the rest from porn and it is can be horrible to kids let’s just say that if they don’t understand that it’s not a normal scenario or dick size and that’s not how real relationships work

  5. Didn’t know it wasn’t already, even my catholic all boys school covered it in great detail including contraception
