I went to a secondary school run by nuns. I distinctly remember being told (by a lay teacher) that every time you have sex, there's a 1 in 6 chance of getting pregnant. Of course contraception was never discussed.
I've had sex five times so far, I sure as hell won't be risking a sixth!
Sounds like they were qualified at least0 -

What should be thought is contraception and how to use it properly the reality that it isnt 100% safe, condoms break, how to avoid this happening ect, the need for foreplay and methods [but keeping it to touching each other EVERYwhere [but not orally theyll learn that themselves later in time through exploration and curiosity/media], and how to get your partner going - afterall this is the whole point of FP] kissing ect, the need for respect for your partner while having sex and finally the REPROCUSSIONS of having a baby so young especially, but what a baby means as parents with a family saying how life changed for them and the necessary sacrifices they had to make in order to properly look after their child once born, how their social life and life was turned upside down ect.
basically give them the realities while at the same time giving them the information in an un biast way. sex after bodily functions is the most natural things you can do, nothing wrong with it - but it needs to be drilled into them that having a child is going to mean freedom taken away and a change in life style needed. basically give them the 'oh **** really?' side of the possible reprocutions of sex, including sti's ect.
there was a really good channel 4 programme for teenagers on sex education
'sex education for teenagers' I think it was called or something. very good it was.
Also sex ed should start around 10, before puberty hits. instilling respect is the main thing though at that early age. you want to get in there before pron does
after all the rest has been taught and sunk in over weeks or months, THEN move onto pron possibly and the reality that it is a FANTASY! and it is acting ect. but the issue needs to be addressed for society as a whole. the net has made things so much more accessible now, so sex ed needs to get ahead and head these things off at the pass before porn warps their ideas before they start having sex and they think that thats what its all about. in essence porn is not for young minds pre virginity which most of us know0 -

Ever consider teaching that no means no, and all the other nos that mean no?0 -

Do you not think that's pushing your own views a bit. Why is regular sex not the same as porn? I dont get why people say that at all, are the people that say it just lazy, or do they hate fun?
I think safety pratices would be a better thing to teach given the recent snowball in sex toys, and BDSM.0 -

News flash: nuns and priests are part of a cult where contraception is the work of the devil, sex outside marriage is the work of the devil, sex for the fun of it is the work of the devil, and it's your obligation to raise a big family whe you're married.Kidchameleon wrote: »News flash: Nuns and priests could have had sex before taking vows
Bull-fcuking-sh|t.
It'll be forgotten about when puberty hits; most stuff that is not instantly useful, unless taught every few weeks, will fade away. If taught when they've hit puberty, not only will it explain a lot, but Q & A will be usefull.Also sex ed should start around 10, before puberty hits. instilling respect is the main thing though at that early age. you want to get in there before pron does

Was in post-primary in the 1994-1999 time frame, and I think sex ed was taught around 3rd class. Fair f**ks to the school; they brought in two people (a man and a woman) whose job was to teach it, and there was no religious slant that I can remember. Only one girl in the school became pregnant in 6th year, so I'm guessing it was a good education?0
