I...I think that sex ed is indeed a positive thing.<br /><br />I would add to the subject being taught though.<br /><br />One thing that has always made me cringe is when I hear about girls (ages 12 - 14) obliging in giving oral sex to their peers. I wonder if any of these girls, upon a request for "some head" (or whatever they call it now-a-days) would have the nerve to hike up her skirt and say "go for it cowboy."<br /><br />The boys don't reciprocate. The girls remain the pleasure givers and not the pleasure receivers.<br /><br />I was speaking to a degree holding RN about the topic of sex ed. I mentioned that my pre-school children already know all the proper names for the body parts (penis, vulva, vagina) and that my next step was to teach my daughter what her clitoris was. <br /><br />My colleague was shocked. She couldn't understand why a girl (be it age 4 or 14) needed to know what her clitoris was.<br /><br />I suggested that, if she knew what her clitoris was and that, in the privacy of her own room, she had experienced her own body through self-pleasuring, she would know how request pleasurable sex from a peer partner. She wouldn't tolerate a sex session without mutual pleasure and might be more likely to have a positive experience with a peer partner who follows her instruction.<br /><br />It isn't all about conception control and disease prevention. Kids/teens who know about their bodies and sexuality are actually more likely to DELAY SEX until they are ready. They are also more likely to have a POSITIVE first time experience based on mutual respect rather then being somewhat coerced.<br /><br />Even a conservative religious person would have to like that outcome.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
