    When I was 11 years old my experience of sex education was more or less a bad science class. The teacher told us about body changes, boobs, erections, hormones and these weird buzz words like "condom" and "safe sex". I still didn't know what sex actually involved until I saw a movie sex scene at 14 years old. The same age I found out what a condom was used for. At the time sex seemed like a disgusting and painful experience yet everyone around me seemed to be having it.

    Although looking back I was still better off not knowing anything. It was at 19 that I first watched pornography to see what the fuss was about. I felt for the first time that I had a realistic view of what sex was instead of an ambiguous government slogan of "protect yourself, be careful, peer pressure, non-judgement blah blah yak yak". Sex education only left me confused and opened my curiosity to pornography. Sex ed failed me.

    Now that I have reflected, porn and sex ed have been telling me the same message, "have unnatural sex with someone regardless of what they mean to you, use your penis to shove a plastic bag in and out of someones daughter. Undertake the most important act a man can have with a woman; for nothing but your own physical gratification, not for the purpose of love or marriage or procreation, it is perfectly acceptable provided you use a plastic bag to prevent the extremely minute chance of catching a disease that causes harm in only a fraction of cases and is mostly treatable.

    The government (through schools) teaches people how to have unnatural (yet safe!) sex. How is this practice superior to pornography? At least porn is honest about it's message. The government can't decide if it's running a nihilistic education program or a scare campaign that demonises natural (Real or as pretty much all deities on earth intended) sex. All the while victimising gays and certain ethnic groups of the dark continent with the horror stories of STIs.

    Schools teach children how to have sex. They should be teaching them why and who with. Until education is solved, children will be turning to porn and failing to learn what their schools are failing to teach them. As for STIs, they're not going away anytime soon, there's penicillin for a reason.

    I don't claim to have all the information or all the answers, but I know that I could've been taught better. As could you.

    I think the positive thing is that we're the generation that will be able to talk to our kids about the dangers of internet pornography with experience. Our parents didn't grow up with internet porn. I think you will see the changes you're talking about. People are slowly, but surely, starting to understand the risks of internet porn.

  3. When i was 15 at school i knew how to put a condom on a cucumber and how babies were made. but i didn't know who to talk to about
    'why people spank each other' or 'why do women sometimes have sex with 5 or 6 men at the same time' or 'why do women wear fake penises and use them on each other' 'why do people spit at each other and swear at each other when they have sex'
    I had been exposed to most of that when i was in my last year at school and you are right that sex education was basically just a 'bad science lesson' i had so many questions back then that i was afraid to ask anyone and even then i don't think those teachers or even my parents would have been equiped to deal mentally with the kind of stuff i had seen. I think older people who haven't used internet porn still think it's 1970's stuff like softcore, nice lovely nudes that wouldn't make your grandma blush, we know that kids these days are being exposed to some of the worst and extreme content and people who are in a position to teach them about sex education haven't got a clue because nobody has told them or explained to them what it's really like. The educators need educating and schools and institutions need to take some brave steps to bring the discussion of porn in the 21st century into the class room for those teenagers who are old enough and for whom most have probaly already seen or heard about this stuff anyway.

    Who would you want to teach your kids about sex ? Barry the pervert who runs a hardcore porn website or Mrs Jones the Teacher who cares about the welfare and aspirations of her students ?

    Exactly. No one was prepared to teach us, but we can teach future generations.

    I attended Catolic school and we had sex education when 1 years old only because government said so, however schools were very free to interpret it the way they wanted.

    So what I received instead of sex education was actually bunch of catolic bullshit: sex after marriage, contraception is bad and sin, abortion makes you murder, not sure if they even mentioned something like condom. The most ridiculous thing was that it was taught by a teacher that taught normally catolic religion class.

    IMHO it was totally bizarre, misleading, brainwashing, and most of all totally inadequate in regards to sex education.
    The most ridiculous thing number 2 was that some parents even start petition that even this version of catolic sex education was too much for their kids and they shouldnt learn about sex at all. Such bunch of mormons.
