Sexual ignorance

[sarahmichigan]

The sexual ignorance of some people makes me want to weep. Truly.

Sextips usually makes me laugh or want to cry. People insecure about whether they're 'normal.' Women who think it's unusual that they can't come from P-I-V sex (honey, the clit is a woman's main sexual organ!). People who think their lovers aren't dedicated to them because their lovers look at porn or have sexual fantasies. Men who think that wives are for clean and proper sex, and only sluts suck cock.

At least most of the people on sextips are there to educate themselves. Unfortunately, the people who probably most need an education about human sexuality are often the ones most insecure about seeking that information. . .

I would have to agree. When I was in Jr. High and High School we had health classes about sex and whatnot, and the teachers were always talking about how schools are trying to educate the kids more about sex in general. From what I read in the community, not many schools must do this. I know that when I have children, I will definitely be having talks with them about sex, and related issues. I don't want my children to be misinformed.

I think that is really great that your mom did that. Very responsible. More parent's should have that mindset, no matter what religion they follow. I had a friend in school who's parents were very strict Baptists. The only time they mentioned sex to her was to tell her never to do it until she got married. I remember the way she used to talk about it, I felt bad.

My parents are not closed minded to the idea of sex, but we haven't actually had any real conversations about it. But, I turned out alright I think. =)

It seemed like my school system tried, at the time. But, after educating myself, it was obvious how uneducated I really was. There should be a one-credit class called "Oral Sex 101", covering anatomy, fluids, STDs, consent, etc and ultimately a paper on what you think oral sex is. *laughs*

LMAO!!!

That is just too funny. I remember how traumatized I was when my Health teacher in High School, mind you he was very short, gray hair, and terrible yellow teeth...well he was showing us how to put a condom on, and instead of using a banana or something, he put it over his fingers. I thought the class was going to die of laughter.

But really, bottom line, people need to be more educated. That might help control the STD outbreaks and what not. Common sense people, common sense!

We got AIDS rammed up our asses to the point of not really caring. Every year. OMG, AIDS! My friends and I joke, "You have nothing to fear, except SuperAIDS."

Textbooks full of facts seem so distant when you don't have a clue what they're talking about. The difference between a healthy lung and a black lung (to scare kids from smoking) made a difference for me. Kids should see what herpes is.

I never saw a condom in school. I remember buying some on my own for my own fascination and trying to figure out how to put it on. One critical thing: A female friend once told me to hold it at the base after I orgasm, otherwise it can slip off. She knows this from personal experience.

I find it ironic that Sweden has porn on public TV to try and increase their birthrate. They're just not having enough sex over there!

Oh my gosh, those poor poor people!

We did at our school see pictures of all the STD's. Especially in my college Health class. I saw some pictures that I never hope I see again. Made me even think twice about being super safe, even though I already am.

Half of the Health classes got the STD slideshow. Unfortuantly, I got the "chewing tobacco" slideshow. I wonder how the other side is doing on their STD statistics?
