Things I Wish I'd Learned About Straight Sex in High School

[Deuce]

Lol, that trigger warning wasn't for veterans.

Ahh, so your stance on trigger warnings only applies to people you don't like. Got it.

So, can you elaborate on why trigger warnings trigger you? Is there some disastrous side effect to telling people the topic for the day ahead of time that I'm not aware of?

Step 1: Send out "trigger warning" because some people might be sensitive to tomorrow's topic
Step 2: ????
Step 3: DISASTER!

No not really, it's just that if you need a trigger warning because sex is biological, you're probably pretty pathetic.

They trigger me to laugh. I won't give a trigger warning if I'm going to refer to men and women by biological sex.

A disaster? What disaster?

I don't know, that's why I ask. People get all pissed when they hear about "trigger warnings." I can't understand why. Worst case scenario is nobody cares about the trigger warning.

Yeah we should do it the conservative way and just not teach sex-ed at all and let our genitals remain a mystery draped in religious dogma.

You know it is this kind of elitist bull**** why the left can't win enough electoral votes to win an election. If you actually showed respect for the views of others (as in you can agree to disagree and not try to tear them down for their thinking), you would understand that a lot of people are concerned about WHO is teaching sex Ed to their kids.

Maybe I want to teach my kid that it is not ok to have sex outside a stable loving relationship? What business is that of yours? Maybe the school system should be careful about trying to decide what is "morally correct?" And maybe that is why people get pissed off? People are funny about strangers talking about sex with their kids. I guess some think that idea is weird.

At any rate...pretending your position is the only valid position is silly. And maybe the issue could get resolved easier if some nitwits didn't politicize it.

This is NOT respect. It's the utter antithesis of respect.

I think irony is lost on the left.

I mean. Their position is COMPLETELY understandable. But if they could try and state their position without attacking the other side...they might get their point across. Won't happen though. That is why the left didn't win the election. Their high horse didn't let them get down to the people.

I don't care for someone who demands education programs that result in greater rates of teen pregnancy and disease. Have a nice day.

That makes no sense. Not only do I not demand any such thing, but people that demand abstinence only sex education isn't demanding a program that causes greater rates of teen pregnancy and disease.

 

[Carjosse]

I've never met one single conservative who thinks that way. I've known a few who object to HOW sex ed. is taught, but none that object to it being taught. I have known Christians who object to how it's taught who are conservative, but thier objections are based on their faith, not their politics.

Broad-brushed bigoted garbage like this is a huge problem for this country. Maybe you should learn something new today and stop thinking that the grossly mistaken idea you're putting forth is accurate and instead start spreading the truth.

That how is usually whether it includes real facts or not, and what things to try and keep hidden.

I do not think his post means what you think it means.

Go back and read the quoted posts and see how they approached the views of others. You cannot truly push for a positive change through negative reinforcement. You only created resistance.

no I understand his post he believes that any view which varies from his is wrong...period

he thinks he understands god and can act on god's behalf

he does not understand and he can not

Abstinence only sex ed leads to greater rates of teen pregnancy and disease. You weren't aware?

 

[Henrin]

It does not. You're confusing the difference between something not being as effective at avoiding pregnancy with something that causes pregnancy.

 

[Removable Mind]

Really, you believe that?

Deuce said, "Leads to"....and that's a very significant part of what he said.

Abstinence is 100% effective. Not quite as effective...or leads to being a little more effective. It's 100% effective. Problem is lusty, horney hormones whispers, excuse me, screams in kids ears. And kids are loaded with them.

So what do you suppose that an abstinence program would actually teach kids about sex itself, who will absolutely not abstain, no matter how many times they hear..."Just say no to sex, it'll ruin your life, and you'll get nasty diseases!"

The topic should be: WHEN YOU HAVE SEX!...yadda, yadda, yadda.

Not having sex...there's something amuck. But the good news is that kids who are getting the straight story, they have used that information wisely, and over the last 10 or so years teen pregnancies have gone down by about 40%...just by telling them the truth about sex and how to engage in safe sex. This means that they've actually been using birth control more and more. They probably get their birth control from Planned Parenthood...you know the evil place that prevents more abortions than they perform...and probably by a long shot. And boys and girls get the STD stuff. The boy wear condoms. They have female condoms, too.

Some of us are just plain old human beings. In fact, if you look around the planet you'll see about 7 plus billion plain old human beings. 7 billion people didn't get beamed down by Scotty. Sooner or later we all are going to have sex. I'm betting you did too. And I bet you didn't attend an abstinence only program.

 

[Deuce]

You're confusing semantics with something worth talking about.

Actually, the one thing that stays consistent is the Word of God. That never changes.

Except when Jesus came, Joseph smith, Mohammed and Moses. Yeah it totally changes all the time but we'll pretend it never does.

Consistently as seemingly silent. Silent enough to not hear a word as of yet.

The debate centers on whether keeping kids totally ignorant of life, which btw, only increases things your beliefs find repugnant such as STDs and unwanted pregnancies, qualifies as abuse. Here you should see it doesn't have to do with morals, nor should it. It's a matter of outcomes that harm the kids

But yeah, it's not that we don't grasp the conservative mind. In this country it's inescapable. But we do look down on policies that are self defeating, in defiance and denial of human nature, and produce consistently bad outcomes. 'Abstinence only' is one of those

You don't trust the particular stranger who teaches sex ed? Fine, get to know them or at least, if you're going to do the deed yourself, don't preach 'abstinence only' for god sakes

What a steaming pile of nonsense this is. Not every parent is capable or willing to give an in-depth education on the human reproductive system, so without sex ed in schools you end up having millions of Americans who know absolutely nothing about how sex works which results in millions of abortions and unwanted children. My parents gave me the "talk" very early, but it was a superficial overview and it left me with a large set of major misunderstandings until it was cleared up in sex ed in the 7th grade.

The worst part of this is that in most school districts you can opt out of sex ed with parent permission, so your opposition to sex ed in schools is 100% focused around preventing OTHERS from getting sex education and has nothing to do with you. You are not victims, you're the one trying to force your beliefs on others and keep Americans uneducated on basic life facts.

That's a load of crap. Are you saying the only possible way for kids to learn about sex and biology is through public education? Patents ate completely incapable of teaching them about it?

Their "faith" and their politics ate not mutually exclusive.

Spoken like anno other SJW victim.

Maybe you should learn something new today and stop thinking that the grossly mistaken idea you're putting forth is accurate and instead start spreading the truth.

When idiots want idiocy taught in school such as abstinence only sex ed, they seem compelled to state that is because their religious views or the sanitized code word for religious views "family values."

It isn't bigotry and you aren't being oppressed or attacked. You just don't get to have as much power as you'd like to have.

Boy seeing you whine about bigotry is just like seeing a feminist whine about the patriarchy or Blm idiots whine about white privilege. Why be indistinguishable from the left and pretend not to be?

 

[faithful_servant]

Sorry, but your bigoted ideas about what conservatives "want to try and keep hidden" are dead wrong. They based on nothing more than what you want to believe and not what's true. The way you are justifying this is no different than the racists who portrayed blacks as ignorant, watermelon-eating slackers. Strictly based on what you want to believe and not on the truth.

 

[RabidAlpaca]

That's a load of crap. Are you saying the only possible way for kids to learn about sex and biology is through public education? Patents ate completely incapable of teaching them about it?

For millions of American children sex ed in school is the only way. Not everyone has a parent that's able and willing to hold complex lessons on the human reproductive system. My heavily conservative Christian parents gave me "the talk" very early, but it was only a superficial overview that left me with a lot of confusion and misconceptions until it was cleared up in 7th grade sex ed. Considering most school districts allow kids to opt out of sex ed with parental permission, this is 100% about preventing OTHERS from getting a sex ed because they want to push Christian values on all Americans.

It's not against human nature to restrain from sex. lol

 

[Northern Light]

These debates are kind of funny considering we have the internet now, and anyone can find out anything about anything.

How can a young woman not know about her vagina when Wikipedia is one click away.

These scapegoat articles are laugh worthy.

Thay still doesn't mean that public school is the only way. There was a time veggie there was public school and our species survived.

My heavily conservative Christian parents gave me "the talk" very early, but it was only a superficial overview that left me with a lot of confusion and misconceptions until it was cleared up in 7th grade sex ed.

My heavily conservative parents had an unplanned child in high-school they made sure I knew the ins and outs, 7th grade sex ed for me was remedial.

Considering most school districts allow kids to opt out of sex ed with parental permission, this is 100% about preventing OTHERS from getting a sex ed because they want to push Christian values on all Americans.

Most definitely. I take no issue with sexual education in school. Outside of rilgious superstitious nonsense I have no idea why anybody would object to it. As far as it being the only source, I don't agree.
