I think sexual education should start as early as 7 and all the way to 15 at least. Obviously starting out with the anatomy, moving up to the functions (periods, masturbation etc.) and then onto intercourse, oral/anal sex, STDs and how to be safe. Although I think it would awesome if they discussed sexual positions, fetishes and sex toys etc. too, I don't think that will ever happen, or at least not any time soon. |
Well, I respectfully disagree. Why would anyone want to rob children of their childhood by introducing such a complex and often times burdening concept such as sex?
13, I'm more comfortable, but highly ambivalent.
As I said, I'm not against the teaching of anatomy for children who are in their preteens. A brush upon the "intercourse" subject is, of course, necessary, because, as you said, the insinuation then becomes that sex is a dirty thing. It is, however, not the subject we want our teenagers TOO preoccupied with; and therefore we should introduce a more thorough study of the subject much later in high school.
But, again, I'll maintain that Sex Ed. is pretty much useless in the long run. |

If you read what I've posted so far and put it into perspective, then maybe that'll answer your question. Of course I'm not saying you'll agree. |

You've said nothing of substance. This whole "you're not in our reality" comment holds no weight. |

And your opinions that go completely against all studies that have been done in this area hold some weight? |

I'm not disputing any studies. |

I'm not a religious zealot, but I am not impressed with scientific studies that prove that education to humans in certain areas that, really, require a lack of stupidity is beneficial. |
What? |
