I guess things are different here, sex education is part of high school education by default and no permission asked of parents before teaching us.

My experience is in 5th grade, in elementary school before middle school, they had maybe one or two "sessions" where they told us about sex and reproduction, basically. The period stuff was super mind blowing and grossing amongst us boys. And I have a vague memory of at least advisory slips we had to take to our parents... or something. But then the fun came in 6th grade. There was like 2 or 3 guys with boners who were asked to stand up to answer questions about the same stuff, basically, who refused to stand up. I remember at least two girls who openly said stuff like, "But.. why would anyone want to do that do a girl? Gross!"

I forgot what grade I was in, but they showed the diagrams and all the scientific names of the uterus, fallopian tubes and whatever else. They did pretty everything expect flat out say -penis goes into vagina- but I mean... we knew. They also went into extensive detail on the risk of pregnancy, the types of protection that exists and all the STDs completely with the painful description of the symptoms and images to scare the **** out of you. And let's not forget AIDs was a death sentence back in the 80's.

We all had to sign a permission slip from our parents, I don't remember a single kid that was left out. But I mean, we went into the stuff that mattered, not into 'how to give blowjobs' or 'how to properly stick it in a girl's (or guy's) butt or anything too graphic.

I mean, that's what porn is for.

Surprisingly we had some kind of sex-ed in 2nd class of Junior School (2nd out 11). But it was very brief, like "boys have dicks, don't touch it, girls have vaginas". Don't remember much beyond that.

No sex-ed in any other classes whatsoever. Still sex-ed here is a very debated topic here and a lot of parents simply refuse their kids to be educated about anything related to sex, which is bad. It does not help that in the last few years priests and extreme conservatives dominate the country.

So weird cause I came from a Catholic family, and everyone in class had some some sort of church goers, and yet none of them missed sex sed.

Its not like kids are missing sex eds, they simply don't exist in majority of the schools.

Recall how we were talking about how mentally competant people are in positions of power, and that everyone keeps referring to "Sleepy Joe"? Only fair that Trump can't recall two basic facts either...

But Trump’s tactics rebounded when he said Biden threatened to lead the US into “world war two” – and suggested that he, Trump, thought he had beaten Barack Obama for the presidency back in 2016.

Yeah but..... we defeated the Trump and therefore killed the racism and the.... uhhh... well... we defeated the archetype of the hated white male. SO everything should be fine now.

But if not, no big deal, there is never a shortage of peasants to burn cities and people online to narrate. So... we got this either way.

*Storm Wolf* · 09-21-2023, 12:02 AM

Didn't have sex ed until high school. I *think* it was mandatory. No permissions needed that I can recall. We were shown how to properly use birth control and threatened with babies. My baby wouldn't stop crying and I had to leave class so I wouldn't disrupt learning.

I can't help but feel that was some sort of foreshadowing now that I think on it. My firstborn had wicked colic and would cry for HOURS.

In middle school we had a short anatomy lesson. The one where they Separated the boys and girls. Kinda wish they didn't. I know they do fo maturity reasons, but maybe more males would understand women better if they knew how they functioned biologically? For this reason I think basic sex ed and reproductive education should be allowed. I think to many people either Don't know or are to embarrassed to approach that subject with their children and young adults.

Also.....old people fall. We should probably start considering candidates that are younger and have all their faculties. Why do we keep voting in old dudes? Expecting people from back when land costed a nickle and your best riding pony to solve our modern issues seems a bit off.

My comment was a joke (whoosh over your head) but pertinent based on the fact I don't see anyone here flagging up their precious Republican leaders having constant senile moments too.

Besides he's not my precious grandpa, I'm not American, and I certainly don't massively rate him as a leader. Just a better option than Trump...

With people like you it is hard to figure out what is a joke and what is for real.

I think so too.
But somehow people are very embarrassed when it comes to sex and biological functions regarding reproduction. Its annoying. Like, it is very natural and this knowledge can potentially be useful and even life saving, but nope: "I am too embarrassed to talk about periods and stuff, because, reasons...".

Gladly, things are changing slowly in the West, but at some backwards countries...well, not so much.

I'm British, satire, irony and dry humour are staples of my DNA, but I will readily admit that can be harder than some humour to convey online. Of course I could tell that was Biden, but posting about Mitch was designed for a response.

One, to show teenagers what looking after a baby will be like for when they are older and ready for the responsibility. Two, to show teenagers what looking after a baby will be like if they have one now.

Like the US. You'd be amazed, although perhaps not too surprised given some of the personal experiences posted here about such things, that sex education in US schools is lacking, skipped or ignored in many places, sometimes due to religious abstinance. Proper sex ed is a significant factor in lowering teen pregnancy, and guess which first world country has the highest rate of teen pregnancy...?!

Sort of back on topic, in another moment of "bears defecating in tree rich environments", Trumps rallies to put himself before the country...
