How do you feel about school sex education? I am an 18 year old. when I had sex ed in high school they always said abstinence was the only answer. lets be serious. teens are having sex. do you think they should talk about more then just abstinence. Maybe about how to not get pregnant or where to go for sex help when you need it. |
Abstinence only sex ed is like sending soldiers to war with marshmallows and a good luck.
We need SERIOUS COMPREHENSIVE SEX ED in ALL HIGH SCHOOLS. |
What are your memories of School Sex Education? Now, sex education (or lack of it) is often in the news.
What are your memories of sex education in your school? Did you have any? Was is good and helpful or just seen as a laugh?
OR did you go to a religious school where even looking at the opposite sex resulted in lines/cold showers/rugby playing.
See this bbc link for an interesting look at how sex education has changes over the years: news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7892…
Memories please |
When I went to school, there was no such thing as sex education in schools. We had "health" classes in which the emphasis was on good personal hygiene.
In fact, when I graduated, sex education was just being introduced and parents had to give their consent for their guy to attend such a class.
But, I can say, from my own personal observations, that sex education has not worked as planned. There are more teen pregnancies now than ever before. In fact, the very same education system that determined the need for sex education has found out that it doesn't work and they now hand out condoms to students.
Sex education is the responsibility of the parents not the schools. But, I will compromise here and say that, whatever the school teaches about sex should be tethered by good, sound education at home by parents. Sadly, many who are parents do not know proper sex education themselves. They probably learned what they know from schools! |
What do you think about Portland Public School Sex Education? www.oregonlive.com/portland/index…
Seeing that yall are 5th worst in the nation for STDs. Might as well try stuff like this. Is Norman Scott a hero for trying a different approach or is he just continuing in the liberal teachings of permissive sex? |
You should post this in the politics section. There are many more hotheads there.
But, we in the schools take guys how they are, not how we wish them to be. We all wish guys weren't having sex, but when it comes down to it, most parents in today's America are NOT doing their jobs. It's that simple. As we have become these guys' only real adult figures in their lives, we then have to cover the birds and bees, and everything else. I just had a guy bring a loaded/****** gun into school, he got from his dad. It was up to the teacher to take it off him, and she did. Things are how they are. We can't wish them away with political idealism and rhetoric. |
Is abortion addressed in high school sex education classes? Do they go over the pro-choice and the pro-life stances.
Do they show videos and pictures of aborted babies? If not, do you think they should? You aren't pressuring already pregnant girls to make a decision... it is educating them about what abortion is and then letting them make their decision, right?
I also think it would reinforce the use of protection and/or abstinence.
They show videos/pics of car accidents in driver's ed so why not?
Oh, and of course there would have to be parental consent... |
Abortion is so hotly contested that school teachers know that they're playing with fire by saying much more than the very basic facts: the simple definition and such. This keeps the pro-life and pro-choice arguments both out of the classroom.
I wonder what the reaction would be if they showed an up-close video of an abortion in class. Nothing like supressing an education to keep the facts away, right? |
She guys be introduced to sex education in the 5th grade? Seeing how things have completely change from when I was a guy, guys are now talking about sex and starting puberty at a much earlier age. She schools implement sex education in the 5th grade curriculum? |
| well in the fifth grade u are 11 and that is the most common age to go through puberty sooo its fine and just gets guys more prepared |
Does anyone know the differences between school sex education in the following countries? UK US Sweden, China,Denmark,India ? |
| All I know is that they start sex ed a lot earlier in Holland than in the UK - apparrently it makes guys have sex later in life, too. |
In school sex education do they teach safe gay rimming? with all this pc i wouldn't be surprised if they did, the gay guys should learn how to do it the right way. |
| Don't be ridiculous! |
Is there any conclusive study to prove that sex education of school guys reudces the incidence of HIV-AIDS? There is too much hype abaout the desirability of having sex education in school guys to protect them from HIV-AIDS.
However, I have not found a single study on the internet that actually proves that sex education amongst school guys actually reduces the incidence of HIV -AIDS. Results of a few studies only are in the nature of baseles conclusions and conjectures.
Can anyone give me referencs of studies that PROVE any causal relationship between sex education in guyren and the incidence of HIV-AIDS? |
im not going to look for a study, youd be hard pressed to argue that increasing awareness of a preventable disease will not reduce transmission. think of some diseases they dont talk about in school. if you arent in the healthcare field, how much do you know about them and what needs to be done to prevent them? do you know as much about hiv as you do hepatitis A? how about type 2 diabetes which is an 80-90% preventable disease, that affects something like 5-10% of american adults nowadays?
transmission has slowed quite a bit in the US due to increased awareness (whtehr that be from school or other educational exposure) while it is the same or increasing in places like africa where people dont know anything about it |

Now we all know it’s called “Sex Education”, but it shouldn’t be.
It should have been called “Reproduction Education”, but leave it to some idiot to name it something simple like “Sex Ed”.
Well that just leaves the door open for interpretation doesn’t it?
Any normal, logical person wouldn’t think that later this name could bite us all in the ***, well it’s happened.
And I do not think it should include “Homosexuality”.
Homosexuality isn’t about reproduction, and reproduction is the only thing that should be taught in “Sex Ed”.
Now some will disagree with me, fine; what’s their point of argument.
I have nothing against Homosexuals, never have.
But it isn’t about sexual pleasure, only reproduction.
If they want to play that card, then teach Voyeurism, Frotteurism, Bestiality or Sexual Masochism and Sadism.
There are people who want to corrupt our minors, and teaching anything other than reproduction falls on Pornography. |
Sex education? school or parents? my school has never taught sex education.
the teachers told us we were supposed to have it in year 8 and now im year 9 still no sign of it.
i personally think its better for guys to learn sex education through schools rather than parents.
because if my parents told me i would feel awkward, i wouldnt ask the questions i need to know, and i just dont think they would professionally know exactly what to say. whereas at school i would listen because it would be funny but at the same time educational.
i pretty much learnt everything i know about sex through movies and tv shows etc. and i think i know pretty much the basics of sex.
so i guess my questions are would you rather learn through your parents or the school or would you rather your guys learn from you of the school?
and which overall do you think is better for guys today? |
Count yourself lucky: I had my sex education in YEAR 5!
I think parents should teach their guyren, because sometimes schools do it way too early, and some too late. |
