Sexual education is vital. People must understand how the male and female human bodies work, how to spot STD’s, cancer signs, UTI’s, and how to be properly hygienic downstairs. People need to understand what are and how to use condoms, female condoms, safe lube, Plan B, IUD’s, birth control, copper implants, pregnancy tests, etc. People need to understand the weight behind having a child and the risks+how to avoid them. People need to fully comprehend and understand consent. People need to know what’s ok to put in your body (the amount of people who think using coconut oil, olive oil, hair brushes, broom handles, etc is safe is absurd)
If we can accomplish that communist world… I could care less who is fucking who, what people do after going home from the club together, or what’s going on in the bedroom.
I think there’s also an emotional aspect that people need to learn about. sex can be casual and that can work for people, but it can also hold a lot of weight. people need to learn about how they feel about things and what’s healthy for them.
True, but that is beyond the scope of something that can be educated. At best that is a one on one therapy kind of topic. At least they should be aware if the emotions attached, but that is entirely personal.
that’s not beyond education. educate people on how it can affect them emotionally and when they should stop, maybe explain the general lines people fall along.
True, but it won’t affect everyone identically, so it could be hard to create a “one size fits all” type of education related to that, without making it incredibly broad.
But I agree the topic should at least be broached like you mentioned in your last line.
It would inherently be broad, but it should be at least enough people have the tools to start understanding themselves and others. A bit like talking about sexualities in school. You can’t explain every kind because it’s deeply personal, but you can explain some of the components(attraction, libido, sex repulsed or negative) and some examples of how people generally fall(straight, gay, bi) with an emphasis on how you can have an experience outside of it. In thr same way they used to have family life classes, and some Christian Schools still teach something like that. Make it less cringe and let people know a bit about how relationships can work and generally affect people.
