Sex Ed, PD style

[Placid Dingo]

Inspired by the Reddit thread.

You have;

A ten week term, with one 45 minute class a week.

A class of 14/15 year old students.

An electronic whiteboard (can use multimedia; visuals, clips, music, etc)

What would you include? What makes a good sexual education unit? What messages are the most important to promote?

I've got some stuff to do, but I'll add some thoughts later.

This is what consent is. Consent needs to be explicit. If your partner says no or otherwise indicates disinterest, back off.

[site/organization] is where you can get free, good resources on STIs, their prevention and treatment, and here's how to not catch them.

[site/organization] is where you can get contraceptives and information on pregnancy.

As much as you can get away with using from european sex ed, do it. They're a lot more open, tell the kids it's THEIR OWN decision when they're ready for sex, explain stuff like oral sex and mutual masturbation, etc. and their rates of pregnancies and STD's are WAY below ours.

your post is only true if you don't count "being born French" as an STD.

Dammit, I was thinking in terms of Scandinavian sex ed. Thanks for pointing that out.

Id put this on

and take questions from there.

Social rules of sex (what Garbo said).
Methods of birth control with respect to STD prevention and pregnancy prevention.
The 17 rule.
I would leave the gestation thing out.  That's more a biology question and less of a sex thing.
Anonymous Q&A <--- most important part.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I would definitely address that boys want sex, that girls want sex, and that regardless of whether you are a boy or a girl, you should base your readiness to have sex on your own feelings and not social pressures.

The issue of STD safety should be an early part of the curriculum, as should be birth control.

Emotional and medical resources should be part of the curriculum; identifying reliable allies who can provide you with support and reliable health information, whether it be parents, and aunt or uncle, or a clinic.

Every person's ultimate right to decide what happens with their own body and the supremacy of their comfort with what happens to their own body should be part of the curriculum. I think that it is significant to emphasize that people should not, in any way, feel like they need to be polite or gracious when it comes to anything anyone else wants to do to them because anyone who wants to do something with your body that you do not want has already transgressed beyond any concept of manners or politeness.

Clearly, we should teach kids that

A) The male orgasm is a necessary evil, and should be followed immediately by a scalding shower and at least 25 Hail Marys.
B) The female orgasm was invented by Satan, working in conjunction with the Women's Liberation Movement and Al Qaeda.
C) The only sure protection against STDs is marriage.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I think that I would start with "Sex is a natural, normal, and inevitable part of being a sexually reproducing species. We don't really have much choice in that, and it is false and unnatural to pretend that we do. However, what we do have, as a highly intellectual species, are choices in when, how, and whether we engage in sexual activity".

You forgot one:

FEMALE SEXUALITY IS ONLY ACCEPTABLE WHEN IT IS USED IN ADVERTISING TO SELL SHIT

Seriously.

Although, the shit in commercials has absolutely nothing to do with female sexuality. I know for a fact that women do not behave that way on beaches.

Of course they do. And they cluster around guys who drink certain beer and take viagra, and cum like banshees when they use that one kind of shampoo.
