I think schools need to concentrate on getting math, reading, social studies, and biology right instead of which hole to stick it in.

Sex Ed:

Yes, sex ed is vital. It's focus shouldn't be on teaching technique for pleasure, however, it should be on preventing pregnancy by teaching about contraception and helping teens protect themselves from STDs.

While pregnancy isn't an issue for gays, STDs certainly are, and therefore any responsible sex ed class will include a discussion of homosexuality and ways in which gay men and women need to protect themselves during sex.

I wouldn't expect such a discussion, however, to occupy any more that 7-10% of the curriculum of a sex ed course.

Not educating teens about sex and its consequences is, IMO, tantamount to being an accomplice in the problems of teen pregnancy and STD transmission. Only a fool would assert that teens don't need to be educated in these matters.

I could give you a graphic personal testimonial, if you like.



Heterosexuals trying tell gays what they do and don't experience during sex...how silly.

BTW, there is a sizable number of heterosexual men who enjoy being on the receiving end of anal penetration. The "Bend Over Boyfriend" porn series is quite popular. Sex columnist Dan Savage devoted a series of columns to devising a name for it when the female straps on a "device" (not sure if the accurate name is kosher here...), and gives it to her male partner.

The readers voted and arrived at "pegging."

Vesayen, you're an ethiopian Jew? cool dude

Are you Israeli too?
If so where from?


About the mods banning you - why not send him an email and tell him to read and realise you were joking?


On Topic:

Well in Israel it's as follows:

Early classes - you're taught about child making and conception.

Mid classes - you're taught about STDs and how to prevent them, Pregnancy and how to prevent it.

Mid-High classes - you're taught about sexual identity and so on. And about STDs again...


Actually, we already had two lectures (one each year) from a gay who works at a support hotline and helps people with AIDS.
The lectures talked about sexual identity and STDs.

Asides from that we have sexual identity support and activity centers in most community centers.

Our school is half-private and has a community center as part of it. It has a special section for helping young sexually unsure kids.

Our school is part of the liberal reformist movement though, so I'm not sure if the standards are the same everywhere.

Anyway, we are also obliged to do community work several years in highschool and one of the possibilities is working with gay people, or about gay rights and so on.

So I'd say we're pretty open.

Oh yeah, and this year, IIRC for the first time, a gay-parade was held in Jerusalem, two weeks ago.

It goes on in Tel-Aviv every year for a long time now.

At my highschool (a Catholic one), we were taught basic stuff about preventing pregnancies and not getting STDs. But of course due to the Catholic church's policy, all references to condoms were crossed out with thick black markers.

Ironically, the condom references were the only parts of the 5 or so pages that they handed out that everyone read. Talks much later in highschool were based more on reality, but didn't really mention homosexuality/bisexuality.

I had a mother who was very approachable and taught me in a sensible honest way as part of everyday life.

A good starting point is the book titled "Where Did I Come From?" We had that readily available to assist with explanations in our household of two girls and eleven boys. I acknowledge that some people are embarrassed discussing this subject with their children but I also believe strongly that it is a parent's responsibility to discuss it with their children, no matter how embarrassing the parent may find it.

Frank and open discussions with my mother gave me a balanced view of sexual relations and I hope to continue to impart knowledge to my children with the same degree of caring, it makes for a close relationship in later life when you can discuss something so personal with a parent.

I sincerely believe that sex should be treated as a normal part of life. The basic facts should be understood before children begin school or other formal activities. This way there are no breeding grounds for myths and misinformation.

Parents, this is YOUR responsibility!!

I have no problem with teaching kids the basics about sex, particularily regarding birth control and protection from AIDS and STDs. I would prefer that these topics be taught within the context of a sort of "Life Education" curricullum covering a variety of human relations and social issues topics. Tolerance towards persons with other preferences should be taught, and the subject of disease prevention should include techniques for them too. However I don't think that gay and lesbian sex techniques need be taught to classes.

In medical school I had a course in human sexuality taught by a gay man who was bent on discovering and outing all the closet gays in the class. He was insulting to non-gays, and resorted to giving misleading surveys in an attempt to inflate the estimate of the number of gays in the class.

One reason gays may get pleasure from anal sex is the stimulation of the prostate gland. That is after all the way that veternarians get semen from bulls.

Tired of ads?

Dangers of anal sex should be taught along with the dangers of vaginal. oral too.

As far as teaching about homosexuality, a simple, neutral:

"Some people are sexually attracted to members of the same sex. They are called homosexuals." To lead into the whole 'anal sex can transmit STDs as well' talk, is all that's necessary.

Lincoln: I understand you don't want your children to be contaminated, but they have a right to know, and need to, for their own safety and well-being.

Though, since your children have/will have internet access, I really don't think you need to burden yourself with trying to keep them ignorant.

I'm sure my 12 year old little brother knows as much as I do, with the internet and everything. Just an assumption though. I tend to stay away from my parent's house. It's full of crazy people.

Autoeroticism would be the closest expression IIRC.

And I am a strong believer in total parity between sexuality, and hopefully a time will come when the current boundaries of sexuality do not exist, where people can sleep with who they fancy, do what they want and not feel constrained by social constraints and classification and peer pressure. A new model of sexuality. So of course I advocate the education of sex education relevent to all sexualities to the same degree, but this would require a more open-minded society too. Hopefully I will see a society which is far more open-minded on the matter in my time.

Yes, it definitely comes down to a matter of personal hygiene too, as well as taking necessary precautions. Obviously anyone practicing homosexual and heterosexual intercourse promiscuously should use barrier contraception. If a monogamous relationship this won't be necessary, except for heterosexuals where a contraceptive pill will be required.

The simple fact of the matter is that sexual intercourse can result in the transfer of many diseases, and hence the need for contraception and precaution and a bit of knowledge, regardless of the nature of the penetration involved.

Jeez, have you heard of the "internet"? Just take a look at some gay porn images, you should find plenty of photographic proof if you really doubt this.

"Some people are sexually attracted to members of the same sex. They are called homosexuals."


Why do straight people always insist on reducing gayness to sex acts? Gays are ROMANTICALLY as well as erotically attracted to the same gender. My theory for this oversight is that religious bigots have a hard time discriminating against someone because of who they love. It's a lot easier to keep a tight focus on sex acts that can cause titillation, squeamishness or disapproval.

I think it also bears noting here that not all gay men engage in anal sex. This discussion has also frequentlyoverlooked lesbians, who (in general) seldom engage in anal sex.

AFIK, the single most popular gay male sexual activity is oral sex. And I'd say the number of gay men who don't participate in anal sex is close to 50%

We should also teach teenagers the difficulty that homosexuals have in establishing solid, long-lasting, monogamous relationships becuase of the tolerance or even active support of homophobia.

The homosexuals who have successfully established strong monogamous relationships were those who have done their best to overcome the obstacles--but that is a minority I believe.

Suffering from ads?

The problem with education on sexual matters is caused by people who think they can provide knowledge on this issue the same way it's done with history, German and mathematics. It's often one-dimensional in the sense that it only focuses on the negative consequenses, veneral diseases and teenage pregnancy.

Actually, I find porn rather distasteful. The acting is weak, the men are ugly, and the women look like dolls. That's my personal taste, but I'm am strongly in favor of porn and people's right to enjoy it.

As for assgasms, actually, FG, you can experience organsms in various parts of your body. When I was a kid (and much more sensitive), I would get them in my hands and feet (at the same time as the regular spot). First time I had sex while stoned, I felt it over my entire body! That was fun. If you experiement, you'll find that you can have mind-blowing pleasure in places you never thought of.

I, for one, pity anyone who thinks sexual pleasure can only be delivered via the standard reproductive organs. They are ignoring the other 99% of the body that is also capable of providing such stimuli. How sexually restrained!
