Shouldnt "non hetero"(homo,bi,mono,beastial) sex be taught in sex-ed classes?

[Dr Strangelove]

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.

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.

monosexuality = self love(the way I phrased it).

Whats the real term for self love lol?

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.

Yeah... and neither would kids doing the same if the "don't tell kids anything about sex" brigade had their way. Surely that's dangerous?

Incidentally, there's an invention that would negate that problem. It's called a "shower"...

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.

In my sex ed class, they taught masturbation, and defined homo-hetero-bi sexuality. When was the last time you were in school? Things have changed... I graduated '98 just so you can get an idea.

why is there a SODOMy but not a GOMORRAHy?

Isn't gonorrhea named after Gomorrah? (How m became n is a mystery, though.)

Jahova is a mistranslation of the Jewish "Yahwey"

Sometimes things get mispelled/mistranslated.

I don't think Gonorrhea is named for Gomorrah, actually.

Faded Glory inquired:

So do you have any scientific proof anal sex leads to some sort of climax in that area?

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.

[Boris Godunov]

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%

[Provost Harrison]

Well it is relevent to talk about sexual activities in this thread so let him off the hook, after all this concerns sex education. And we all know you can't catch anything nasty by holding hands...well, not much

[MrFun]

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.

[Monk]

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.

300 types of bacteria reside in the anus. If you have anal sex with a female, and then have intercourse. Your exposing her to ****loads of infections and yeast infections. I dont know if you knew that. But I did.

'Tis true. That's why gentlemen wash.

Assgasms dont exist. Sorry man, but they dont. I take a **** everyday and I dont derive any sort pleasure from it, just a feeling of expelling the buggers.

You watch too much porn Che.

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.

[Boris Godunov]

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!
