Burning Down

When I was in high school, there was a mandatory sex ed unit for our PE class. My teacher actually used a dildo to demonstrate how to use a condom. It was probably hers too...

Our female P.E teacher was a lesbian, so if she pulled out some kind of dildo it would have definitely been hers.

How can schools allow a teacher to pull out a dildo? Was it uncomfortable? Or did everyone just laugh?

P.s why is the word dildo filtered?

I think the girls (because PE is gender segregated here) just thought "oh my god", based on the look on everyone's face. Don't know about future classes though!

I do know that one of the male PE teachers pulled out a fake vagina in front of his class. I wasn't surprised when I heard that though - he was a tall, scrawny, geeky kind of guy.

Both of those classes were in grade 9 - so full of 14 year olds! I highly doubt that my high school principal knew anything about this. He was really dumb.

This is how it's done where I live. Primary 7 (11 years old, last year of primary school before secondary/high school) are given basic sex education. Although it was about ten minutes of talking about how you're going to get pubes and the girls are going to get periods etc, the class tended to be split into boys and girls for that point. Then the basic biology of how a kid was made and then about an hour and a half of scare mongering about paedophiles.

That's pretty much how it was when I was in school.

I think every kid should have a sex education class in 5th grade, and it should continue through middle school.

I don't see why anyone would find it inappropriate to be honest. It's just informing kids of the dangers, risks, etc. Why wouldn't someone want kids to know the risk of their actions? My school had a terrible sex ed program. And my high school had a huge rate of pregnancy too.

Doesn't that go for all celebrity crushes, regardless of age?

That's almost exactly what they did in my school system. It started in 5th grade and went on into my freshman year, which was when they scared the living shit out of us about STDs.

That's how it oughtta be. I doubt I could find any statistics or data, but I remember in high school, it was pretty well-known throughout the community that the two highschool in our area had some of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the state. And it's a conservative area, largely against abortion, so walking down the hallways on any given day you were likely to see about 5 pregnant chicks.

I never got a real talk from my parents about things. My mother and I were both too awkward to really talk to each other about it. And by the time she told me about things, I had already figured out things for myself. My dad's talk was basically "Hey, you know about sex and all that, right?" Me: "Yep."

Honestly probably most of the stuff I learned probably was from the porn i found on my Dad's computer when I was younger. I remember me and my friends trying to figure out what sex was when we were really young, and I remember this one kid telling me that to get a girl pregnant you piss in her vag. Hahahah. Then I found my Dad's porn stash and showed my friends and we were like... Ohhhhhh now this makes sense.

I know this is a bit of an old topic, but fuck it, I'm posting anyways.

The only reason I knew about how children were made was because my beloved big science book. Around the end of the "Human Body" section, there was a brief explanation of sex and lots of information about the development of the baby in the womb. At the time, it was a thing of mystery, and I didn't want to learn any more. (I was about six when this happened)

Because of my lack of curiosity regarding sex, and the very uninformative explanation my parents gave me in response to the age old "where do babies come from", I was a little uninformed. After a few years, I generally received the message that "sex = bad! don't touch yourself there! babies are bad!" from the world around me. In fact, I wish I could've had sex ed that early, because I got my period in the fifth grade, and I had no warning so I was freaked out.

Also, addressing homosexuality is a good idea, too. In my sixth and seventh grade sex ed curriculum, they never addressed anything about homosexuality, and people got the idea that making fun of gays was a good idea. Last year, there was this guy who had recently came out, but instead of people celebrating it or acknowledging that that was a brave thing, they made fun of him. He was one of my best friends, and I felt like I had to do something about it, but I really had no ideas.

So, I'm really all for the earlier sex ed classes, and I think the opposition towards the idea is ridiculous.

They do if you do it right.
