Should schools include gay sex as part of sex education curriculum?

Should gay sex be added to the sex education curriculum?

If you want to have a gay class, then have it separate. I don't see any need in having everyone come in there and have to listen to a lecture on homosexuality. I don't want my 11 year old listening to this. I'm sorry, but as a parent, that's the way it is. Nothing personal, but I have certain things that I don't want my children purposefully exposed to. TV and other media are enough.

I've tried to make pretty clear in my posts that I'm talking about sex education for teenagers, many of whom are already sexually active, or will be soon. I don't know how many public schools teach sex ed to 11 year olds. I imagine few or none. We're generally talking about 15-17 year olds.

I do remember in my 5th grade that the girls were pulled out of class for a 'girls only' lecture. The boys later figured out that it was about menstruation. The teachers would not or could not tell us. It was kept a secret.

OK, but what, in this context, is "gay sex"? Are you asking about merely defining homosexuality in literal terms, or are you talking about something else?

It is difficult to define "gay sex" when people ask for the definition. I would say this depends on opinion mainly.

I consider "gay sex" as sexual activity of any kind between two people of the same sex.

I think I'm slowly understanding what you are saying, I think I just need to see your response to this post to get it.
 
How much time is devoted to sex ed? When I went to school it was a short section of my health class. They discussed the health ramifications. Using a condom to prevent STD and/or pregnancy. The inherent risks of the various forms of penetration and why they exist.

Overall, it was pretty gender neutral when it could be. We were told to always use a condom, regardless of the type of penetrative sex. Oral, vaginal, Anal, ocular (skull-****ing) whatever.

OK, so Skull-****ing wasn't part of the curriculum, but the way it was taught, it may as well have been because the terminology was regarding ALL penetrative sex. They even told us to use them for oral sex, but I don't think anyone listened.

There was no hetero bias when they discussed anal sex. It was treated as a mechanical act. Everyone has an anus. That's assumed. They used terms like "recipient" instead of gender biased terms when discussing Anal sex.

I can't imagine the mechanics of ass-****ing being different when the "recipient" is male vs. female.

So I guess my experiences in sex-ed are such that I don't understand the gripe about a lack of gay sex in the curriculum. Do gay people have sex that is totally and completely different than straight people?

If anything, I'm guessing only lesbians could say that with any degree of accuracy because "scissoring" was not discussed in my health class. Nor were the methods of protection that should be used during that act discussed.

Personally, had they taught that, I'd have had wanking material for like two months when I was 15 thinking about some of the girls in class doing that to each other, but that's just me.

So I guess my main question is for the people who want "gay" sex to be part of the curriculum:

What do you think should be added from what currently exists (which was pretty neutral based on my own experience in high school way back in the late 20th century)?

Should they have a special section devoted to Barbara Streisand's music and how it apparently arouses homosexual males while having the opposite effect with straight males?

What could possibly be added that changes the curriculum to "include" gay sex outside of a gender neutral description of the risks of anal sex and how to protect one's self?

How can I "respond" when you can't tell me what the question is?

Honestly, I have a very, very hard time believing all of my posts up to now have been so bloody opaque.
 
homosexuality has nothing to do with the AIDS rate being higher if anal sex in engaged in
homosexuality, and the confusion it brings to young gay people, is the confusion about being attracted to the same sex, unlike the overwhelming majority of their peers that are attracted to the opposite sex(more than likely just like their parents) In the humble opinion of a Straight male

STD risks associated with anal sex has nothing to do with homosexuality and
homosexuality has nothing to do with anal sex
there is no reason that a discussion of gays must include anal sex and aids
you are packaging what is not necessary.

Correction: Straight men are always horny except when they hear a Barbara Streisand song. Then we become as flaccid as a dead jellyfish.

So that means Barry Manilow makes you hard?
 
I went on tour with Barry one time for Rolling Stone. Initially I was like "oh man what a BUMMER". Even though his taste is not mine after the tour I have up most respect for the man. He really cares about the music the audience and works 18 or so hours a day.
somethign alot of people need to learn

you do not need to agree with someone to respect them
