Poll: Pleasure in sex ed

[fingerbang143]

I think showing where the G spot is located could be fine

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

No. That's just strange, and way out of what a school's jurisdiction should be. And also, what if someone in the class is gay? Do we teach a gay male how to please another male in front of everyone else? Or a girl how to pleasure another girl? That could be incredibly embarrassing, especially if some particularly intolerant students were in the same class.

 

[Flare Phoenix]

Do you really want, everytime your partner orgasmed, to be thinking of your old school teacher and how they helped accomplish this feat?

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Some things need to be learned on your own. They could give you pointers, tips, tricks, and safety, then tell you that there might also be an emotional component to the pleasure. Show me a curriculum that gives great tips on cunnilingus, and I will respond with "that's a great idea!" But, it brings the idea of that terrible joke of "oral exam" way out of a strange joke and into performance. Nifty.

 

[Dango]

No. That'd just be stupid, not to mention it would most likely encourage younger sex which would lead to more teenage pregnancies, which is the opposite of what sex ed is supposed to do.

 

[RamirezDoEverything]

No, because it's awkward enough.

Sex-ed is about preventing or at least to keep sex safe for kids.

Promoting and teaching pleasure would only spur kids to try it sooner.

 

[Mikeyfell]

Yes they should teach oral sex in sex ed.
Because if you don't know how that can literally be your entire evening

It's not hard to learn but it may destroy your self esteem if you can't get it right the first time.

I am speaking from a strait male perspective.

Pleasing a guy is easy

 

[Friendshipandmagic]

No. I don't want a child of mine being told by somebody I don't know how to be good at sex.

This, people should learn about that through experimentation with safe partners. Thats the natural way.

 

[Mimssy]

I'm really only bothered by the thought because not everyone works the same. If you want to learn what pleases your partner, talk to him/her and work at it together.

Sex-ed? That actually exists? Is it an ordianary class or a once-off class? Does it talk about gay sex aswell?

Where the fuck do you live that doesn't have Sex-ed? It exists in most developed countries...

 

[MidnightCat]

And once again I am reminded of the terrifying Health Ed class I had in Year 9 in which our teacher, in her late fifties or early sixties, told us all about what she likes her husband to do to her during foreplay.

The horror.

In response - I think that the pleasurable aspects of sex should be covered to some degree, depending on the receptiveness of the class. But in general it's largely something the students will need to work out for themselves, as different people tend to enjoy different things.

 

[gamer_parent]

I actually think that while the how to's of sex might not need that much attention, the importance of pleasure should be understood. Current sex ed teaches you how to protect yourself, but even then doesn't necessarily fosters healthy sexual attitudes.

 

[Custard_Angel]

The whole "pleasure" aspect is something that people should work out by themselves.

 

[The Funslinger]

No.

Sex Ed is how to practice safe sex and how to avoid the dangers that sexual contact can have. It's not supposed to be a Karma Sutra lesson.

Have you seen current sex ed classes? It's not about dangers and safety precautions. It's about "If you so much as even glance at an unexposed breast out of the corner of your eye, you will DIE," followed by some rant about how condoms are completely 100% unreliable in all cases, and so on.

That's not what I had... I had the scientific video with drawings of people with the bodily organs mapped out, and then a couple years later, a far more disturbing video about an anthropomorphic condom telling us of the dangers of unprotected sex.

"They say condoms work 99% of the time. But that's based on testing done with condoms kept in the perfect environment. Where do most guys keep their condoms? In their wallet. Do you know how much damage that does? Being sat on, thrown around, often in high temperatures. That lowers the effectiveness a lot, even to as low as 70%. Would you accept a flight on a plane that only crashes 30% of the time? Because that's what you're doing when using a condom! Sure, it'll probably get ya there in one piece, but there's a 30% chance that it'll kill you."

Well, even after that scarring video, I keep mine in my bedside drawer, which is relatively cool, and only have a condom in my pocket if I'm going out, put it back after if nothing happens, and replace every couple of dates. I'd say mine are relatively safe

 

[Gaiseric]

That would have made Sex Ed really creepy.

Can you imagine your Health teacher explaining the best ways to get your girl/boyfriend off? I don't know about you guys but I don't want to see my old Health teacher describe anything sexual *shutters*.

Or how about you're with your gf/bf getting busy and they recognize your move from Sex Ed and call you on it? Even if they don't call you on it, wouldn't it cause them to think of Sex Ed and possibly cause them to lose their excitement?

Probably best to just to experiment with your partner.

Since when the hell is does the escapist have anything to do with this kind of stuff... am I the only one who thought this site was about gaming?

ohhh boy, you should see some of the other threads

anyway its called "off-topic" and sex is an issue that shouldnt be avoided, it has discussion value

We do have it in Ireland, but I thought he meant that it had it's own class, rather than just being an extension of Science.
