        American sex ed man

        It's fucking trash and contributes significantly to many of the fucked viewpoints Americans have towards women, sex, gender, whatever

        My sex ed was basically 'abstinence only' and 'having sex before marriage will give you an STD'; we literally signed 'abstinence pledges' in like 8th grade (which is age 13-14)

          Fucking child abuse holy shit. Sex Ed where I live is great, when I was a kid it was still was better than what you're describing, but now it's incredible - kids learn about transgender, pronouns, normalize being gay/bi/ace etc, it's good shit.

            That's good.

            Don't have your kids go to public school in the fucking Bible Belt, and if you do be sure to explain this shit to them

            I have definitely heard this phrase before, I remember a couple women I used to be friends with kinda internalizing it and saying that if someone has had sex with upwards of 20 dudes marriage was an unlikely prospect for whatever reason.

            I don't know how much anyone believed it (most kids knew the STD thing was stupid and wrong), and no one really took the abstinence pledge thing seriously aside from some religious kids who were probably going by that standard anyway

            That said, it's still incredibly fucked up, and we were taught basically nothing useful

                A friend of mine is training as a paramedic and was studying for an exam to prove that he was suited to become a fulltime paramedic when he told me that he only recently found out what the clitoris was because he'd never had it covered in sex-ed in his (christian) secondary school. He's 20 years old.

                  your buddy is ahead of the game. some men go their whole lives not knowing that.

                    I've heard the joke a zillion times about guys just being selfish shitheads, but like, does anyone actually not remember after even one person tells/shows them? It's right fuckin' there lol

          mine was abstinence only and then we had to perform a play about it which I can only descibe the writing of as deeply racially insensitive.

          All supervised by a far right politician

        :inshallah:

        warning, about to describe how your average abstinence only sex ed class goes.

        I remember they seperated the boys and girls for mine, then did the pencil eraser analogy for the boys and the keyhole one for the girls. They then told the boys to stop staring at the girls, and told the girls to stop wearing their uniforms in a "provoking manner". Then preached remaining a virgin till marriage. Also got a woman to lie to us about how the penis works. I swear they did all this to try make the boys and girls hate each other. Was confusing af.
