    Let’s be honest here, most kids at that age have already seen porn. I saw porn as a kid far before I got a proper sex ed.

    Not making sex out to be such a shameful thing to be hidden away would be very beneficial. It took me years to properly understand sex the way I do now, and in such a way for it to suit me. Before then I had a lot of weird preconceived notions that were not helpful at all.

    Sex is natural and normal, what’s the point of turning it into such a big thing that needs to be hidden away? Especially when most kids at that age start to have sexual feelings. It’s better to provide them a safe and open environment, as well as making sex just be a normal thing, than basically force kids to get their information elsewhere and experiment without knowledge about consent etc.

      Yeah, so did pretty much all adults that are working, yet porn is not allowed at most workplaces.

        Ever heard of the term “educational setting”? You can also neither use copyrighted works at your workplace, but you can in an educational setting.

        There is a big difference between, you know, a space specifically designed to teach kids about all they need to know about the world (including the things you find gross), and a place with an agreed upon environment by the participants to perform a specific task. Not to mention that, yeah, some organizations or places of work do indeed deal with sexual things.

        I don’t even know why you bring in the workplace honestly, it’s completely irrelevant, as its a completely different environment. Neither would it be appropriate for most workplaces to hold a seminar about world war 2 now, would it?

          It is extremely relevant. Are you saying I’m not allowed to talk about porn at work with other adults, but a teacher can talk about porn in their workplace? … WITH CHILDREN!!! It is not like we already don’t have news about sexual abuse coming from teachers.

          What the fuck are you smoking? What kind of mentally deranged mind thinks a blow job needs to be in the curriculum? Even if you think a blow job is important for your child, because “it is a great career choice and a way to climb the ladder”, it is not something one can’t learn on their own. It is not exactly a rocket science.

            At least try to make a reasoned out argument instead of an emotional attack.

            Demystifying and normalizing sex is not a bad thing. Why should we be ashamed of it and our bodies? Making sex out to be such a shameful thing to be hidden away caused far more damage to me than sex positivity ever did. And it’s not like it stops sexual abuse either, because, well… how does a child knowing less cause there to be less sexual abuse? Abusers thrive on ignorance.
