One night stands, teenage pregnancies, threesomes...let's talk about sex honestly.

nnnnaaaa

i should take further occasion since I'm here to articulate the false dichotomy (exposing the axiom) in what is almost always pretentiously asserted to be the only truth...i.e., that of parents' "simply not talking about it" bs pretentiously substantiating sex "education"

That's an overly-presumptuous stereotype the public doesn't need to fall for in framing any broad discussion of the dangers (or personal private pleasures) of sex via legitimate parenting. Truthfully, not all parents "simply refuse" to talk about it, even when/if teens make bad decisions. The truth is that teens aren't always simply ignorant or misinformed when they do make rather conscious and rather bad decisions. Most of the time (ask any teen) many teens simply make bad decisions foolishly, knowing better, and yet many times, succumbing to frailties of the human weaknesses we ALL share. It's no freakn indictment of bad parenting necessarily g'dammit. Framing, pigeon-holing, parents as simply inept or unintelligent or unwilling or otherwise somehow the constant culprit for the bad decisions teens themselves make, well able in and of themselves, all by themselves, for all but the "foolishness of youth" is just such flat-out BS that screams to be called out, especially when liberal fuqs come out with that shit like it's the sex gospel of our time. Actually, it's one of the sickest most falsely propogated axioms of our time, revealing a sick disrespect for the institution of the family and parenting in particular for just the lust and desires for unbridled sexual inclinations and expressions, that says fuq personal discipline and social responsibility...only what I want, when I want it matters. How screwed up.

Ideally, the most influential person in a teen's life should be his parents. That needn't be in more cases than not discouraged by any means. The authority and respect for the station and position of parents in rearing and developing the next generation of Americans shouldn't be asaulted or institutionally undermined under the guise of "education" or whatever other bs some want to call it. Respect your parents and DO what they expect. Again, unfortunately for little more than the frailty of the human condition, children do fail their parents. And who of any one of us hasn't!!! And wtf, life happens, but we don't need to pretend to expect a perfect world, and then blame it on parenting when we don't have it. imho it's time for some of us to finallly start cleaning our own asses for our shit. That includes teens too unfortunately, and whether sexual liberators want to give that little fact due respect or not.

What do you guys think about making sex education compulsory? Do you think it'll help cut down on STDs and teenage pregnancies?

it's ironic to me that many people use sex education to rail on parents as though they were afraid to talk about sex with their children. "that's why 'we' need sex education" but maybe TightBuns (which I hope she has oolala) is right; and rather it's parents who need education about how to broach the subject with horny lusting teens.

It still seems to me that if we take the view that kids need education apart from their parents, that it's kinda like going to a campground where Smokey the Bear signs say clearly NO FIRES, but in fine print...but if you really can't help but burn uncontrollably like the pyromaniac we know we all really wanna be, just be sure to lay back and get it so wet in an open field that there's no possibility you could burn your forest down. I guess it would work except that if you're a pyromaniac you forget about how wet you need it and just wanna it hotter and hotter and hotter to the point you don't care about how wild the forest fire is...in fact the daringness hypnotizes you and give you such a rush you find it very hard to back away...

but funny...thinking of the involvement of your parents on the same camping trip and instantly, magically, we all become at least a bit more responsible to follow the true spirit and meaning of the guideposts that say NO FIRES (period).

the problem with existing sex education is that they leave parents out in the cold, as if they can't be trusted. BULLSHIT. That's one of the REAL problems I have with "Barack Obama" the mfer...he co-sponsored laws that invalidate virtually ALL state and federal limitations on abortion, such as, quite notably imho, parental notification laws. I hate that sob just for that... If he can't support parent-child relationships fuck that asshole. just mho...

the homeboy "Barack" voted four times in the Illinois Senate agains a bill to provide care for babies who are born alive after abortions too, which makes him a murderous phuk too.

homeboy "Barack" voted to block a bill to require an abortionist to notify one parent before performing an abortion on a minor girl from another state.

He's an asshole "Barrack" Obama, even if he supports Freedom of "Choice" the phuk should at least make it a legitemate choice. All you pro-choice assholes want your teen abortions? Fine, just don't force taxpayers to pay for them... Pay for your OWN liberal phukups. Taxpayers are sick and tired of bailing out irresponsible phuks from CEOs to crackpot sex education idiots.

"acceptable" and "good" sex is increasingly titillating perhaps despite "preventative" education, and there's always the "secret" hope and expectation that it will blow your panties/boxers off for all the bombarding hype in ads and today's media (..."uuuuhHHhhhh -Ohhh...uhhh...oh yeaaasss..." *heavy breathing* I know you can already hear it in your own heads!!! we're dam well conditioned already to know what's up!) that we just can't get away from save living like Rupunzel (or however you spell the name) in some high tower! How the fuq can you educate sexual discipline in that kind of a corporately-profitable deliberately charged atmosphere and climate??? Problem with human sexuality is, one gets so turned on it's easy to forgo the "prevention" practice for what promises to be the good time! It's virtually impossible for all but the most priveleged, or saintly, or sheltered! Or those willing to sacrifice for pleasure and "love" and/or brave possible psychological and emotional repercussions of abortion for years indefinitely. (And that's not to mention the issue of parental rights and consent regarding abortion as well!) And it's virtually impossible when there's still bickering and debate about whether teens should have the "right" to be having sex in the first place, and when there's denial that the act of it is "safely" only pleasurable, given 100% practice of "safe" sex.

If we were as lax in our expectations and regard for pure sex as regards teens, as we are for pure sex in the infidelities of marriage, so many politicians would still be in office. Funny how that goes, for now the only ones who enjoy society's permissiveness are rock and porn stars...

But these stats should scream there is no such thing as "safe" sex for people so young! Today with so many virals, it's a phukn real danger to open up or slip it in indiscriminately and think your life is worth just the moment's pleasure. Feels good, when it's in, but (when that romance is over) for how long?

And I don't give a fuq how 99.99% effective in labratory clinical trials rubbers "prove" to be, we as being delirously human, simply aren't that efficient. We should own up to it, and be just as real with our teens! fuq sex! it could fuq up your life! better to get your life in order first! then you can fuq whoever you want and not sink your life down the tubes for lack of "discipline" or the rubber that broke or that you just didn't wanna use DESPITE the fact you were "educated" to use it! Teens are Teens! not machines!!!

at least give them the best chance NOT to fuq up, even if they make mistakes... education in theory makes us feel good about ourselves, but in practice as these stats show, totally jacked in the real world.

I think that teaching teens and young adults the way to be safe is much better than simply refusing to talk about it. it makes more sense. Most young adults and teens are going to experiment, and at least they should know how to be safe. I really wish my parents had taught me, rather than my having to dig up research for myself. It would have helped out a great deal.
