Does sex necessarily have to be learned by trial and error?

[FPLOON]

So, what you're saying is that we should hire dedicated people to perform standard sex/sexual procedures first-hand to those unfamiliar with the basics of sex and the like?

But seriously, that was the closet I could think of to making something as fundamental as sex being taught similar to how schools teach you how to do [surgery], for example... On paper, it sounds like a "good" solution, I guess, but overall, it's still trial and error just on a "smaller" scale... And, even if you did pass the *cough* hands-on portion of the "class", you're still learning through trial and error because the basics can only take you so far before you end up in an orgy you saw coming, but forgot that Z does some things that weren't mentioned on that written test you took in said "class" a while back...

Overall, you never stop learning and not even if we fucked the middle [wo]man, in terms of "conquering" the basics of sex beforehand... Then again, I just realized I have no idea what I'm talking about since I've never done it, let alone got passed "first base" or whatever slang refers to "kissing in a tree" or something like that, I guess...

The thing about sex for us humans is, we don't use it just for reproductive purposes. We use it for entertainment. So in that regard, it is a lot of trial and error and exploration. And that's what makes it great.

Well trial and error is really the only way humans can put things into practice, knowing your theories is really helpful but muscle memory doesn't come until you try doing things for real.
It would be nice however if there were solid educational videos on the subject distributed freely, probably best put porn sites since everyone interested will end up there looking for any info. Most people sadly still need to stumble into sex without knowing anything useful, usually being told random ass shit by their friends or mere technical stuff by parents/teachers.

This is also why it doesn't matter if you're a virgin. Because everyone's a virgin whenever they sleep with someone new.

admittedly I am a virgin, but one of my old flatmates was a bit of a player, had a massive dick, shagged a load of girls etc... But all the girls I knew that shagged him agreed that he was terrible. No foreplay, no nothing, they hated it, they said it was almost like he had no idea what a girl actually wanted!

OT: 2nd hand experience here, but each person knows what they like, and therefore have to adapt/compromise in order to make sure both people get what they want out of it.

What exactly ARE these "errors" that you have made?

Did you not know what went where or...?

Let's not forget one thing though. One important part of having a good sexual realtionship is preparing your body and mind for said relationship. Just like in sports, nothing can replace actual games/competition/sex but without training you are going to suck anyway.

The fuck is this?

OMG. I didn't even notice that was spot! Now I don't know what to believe!

I don't think the act of sex itself is something you can really "teach" for reasons that have been explained above, but if we were to try teaching sex in school it would be probably be something like this:

You can't really teach people how to have sex without...you know...kinda having sex. Theory is fine and all but there's already porn and books and everything else about theory. The only thing missing would be actual physical practice and I don't ever see this society getting to a place where sex ed takes place at a brothel.

That was halarious! And probably very usefull information .

No there are ways to learn before doing some more frowned upon than others.

The book titled Kama Sutra would teach you more than you would ever ask
Porn gives you insight on positions, dirty talk, games, role playing, etc
And then there is always just hiring a hooker for advice, you can't find many others with that level of experience.
