But to discuss positions is... wow
(Bearing in mind I went to a Catholic school, so if it has been something introduced in the past few years I wouldn't put it past me for mine to completely omit it)
On that note, I remember I was thinking "uhm are you allowed to do that?" when my friend wrote about anal sex (which we weren't taught) in his sex ed essay
I wonder what the curriculum is for sex ed in non-Catholic schools. Our sex ed was split across Biology (we did a few lessons on it in Year 7) and then everything else (ethics, STIs, consent, law, etc) in Religious Studies (and of course, Christian attitudes to contraception). And even then I don't remember any sex ed from Year 7 Biology, just most the class in uproar because the teacher said "penis" and she said "it's okay I'll let you all laugh about it for a minute".
I really think I/we should've been taught about anal sex when contraception came up. We barely even talked about how condoms help prevent the transmission of STIs because our teacher was so religious she was against talking about and encouraging artificial contraception  there does seem to be a myth still that gay people can just, not use a condom because they can't get pregnant, and it would've helped if they sat with us and said, "use one. You will probably get STIs without them") |
I love that post ant...see when everyone giggled at the word penis.......that was my sex education at school...
And maybe when some stranger popped thier cold hand down my y fronts to cup my balls before asking me to cough as my nervous classmates lined up behind me shivering nervously in thier pants.
