    Yup, I agree. Great video.

    I'd also suggest adding How to Put on a Condom

    as part of the Boards.ie Sexual Education Experience

    Bit sexist isn't it?

    The male character is like something out of a washing up advert.

    Surely the point is that they start with caricatured sit-com stereotypes so that the dialogue is one-dimensional and simple to get before imparting the information relative.

    It wouldn't really help matters to spend 2 hours on character development so that we have a rich, complicated, well-drawn impression of the psychological complexity of the talking penis.

    then why not make the female the bimbo and the male the sensible one? Or shock horror heres a suggestion, dont make either of them dumb?

    Because then it'd be like:
    Character 1: So, how much do you know about mechanics of pregnancy?
    Character 2: Everything, I'm smart too.
    Character 1: Ah. G'night then.

    very informative, but it could raise some debate to when actual preganacy starts, ie fertilisation or implantation

    Medically and scientifically it starts at implantation.

    although some pro life groups take the moral stance that the zygote formed at fertilisation is when life/pregnacy starts, the medical arguement that its implantation that is required to maintain it

    This thread is about the facts not the moral stances.
    If whant to start a thread about that, then do so in the humanities forum.

    true, but its told unnecessary me by 2 fictional extremist stereotypes who's personality has a part to play in the story telling. Anyway theres not much to discuss on that piece that wasnt already said.

    You could also argue that this thread belongs in the biology and medicine forum as its not a personal issue.
