Sex in Class

[Lavenderice]

"83% of British kids have seen porn by the time they are 13!"

I love this woman. I think she's amazing.

I think she should do some dvds or start a you tube channel so teens can watch her even if they can't access the same stuff in class or at home.

We need more of this in schools.

This woman is excellent
I love that she's pointing things out to the boys (that shaving makes your gf look like a child)
Teaching them about consent
Teaching the girls about their bodies

We are really failing our children in schools

Wasn't there a sex ed professional on MN saying the way forward was to teach about mutual enjoyment and that sex is supposed to be pleasurable for both sexes.
The way they are talking in that school makes the curriculum seem hopelessly out of date.

psyco I don't think that's the purpose tbh. It's a case of accepting that we have highly sexualised youth and if we teach them to respect each other and empower young women to see their needs/desires as being equally important there will be fewer abuses toward women.

I for one would rather see my daughter have a healthy sexual relationship and get pregnant in her teens than see her spending her whole life believing that she's a glorified hole to be used for someone else's pleasure.

Awholelottanosy I suppose bringing the education to them rather an expecting them to go and find a book themselves yields better results.

Get them a book.....and hide your head in the sand! God it's making me angry.

I agree but I wondered if there was a book parents could give to their children and then talk to them about it?

The girls are talking!

I teach Healthy Relationships to ks4. There us a game we use called 'Planet Porn' which helps to challenge the views of young people in a funny way. Pupils look at porn compared to real life sex. It is very important that pupils know the difference. I'm going to watch this show, it might be interesting to see how we compare.

Gosh I feel so sad that my son might grow up with porn or these attitudes being the norm amongst his peer group. I also agree the girls really need empowering.

The boy with facial hair that keeps going on about disrespecting girls just reminds me of the one on inbetweeners that is mouthy and sooo obviously a virgin!

The Blond bouffy haired boy seems to ahve taken some stuff on board, which is positive

She is great, but the other teachers are just!!!

Finally the girls speak up. I was so heartened when the girl challenged the boy about ejaculating in her face and he said "I'm not into boys to that won't happen..." to which she replied "I'm not into having jizz on my face so that WON'T happen!"

The boys are having their porn tainted ideals challenged.

This woman is brilliant. Imagine if all kids got this level of education wow.

The girls getting more empowered to speak up was a good thing

This is the game. It has been very successful with the older teenagers at my school. We must empower young people to understand that women are more than sex objects and men are more than just life support systems for an erect penis. Feelings are felt by both sexes.

Lots of schools are teaching this to be fair - mine is! We are playing catch up with the technology.

Brilliant outcome! The girls are more empowered and confident and the boys have more respect for the girls and a greater awareness of female pleasure. I don't see why this can't be taught in all schools.

That was very positive in the end.
Some teachers more eh, open to new ideas than others I think.

Just watching this now - agree with her that we need to promote a strong message of mutual pleasure and respect to counterbalance the impression of "normal" sexual relationships that many (the majority?) gain from watching online porn

It was so obvious in the first few lessons that the boys had complete disregard for how the girls felt or thought but the girls were clearly worried about speaking up coz they cared about what the boys thought of them, why are girls and boys growing up this way?!
It's so depressing.

Imminent my point about heads being in the sand is that I believe many parents would rather do this than actually talk to their kids about sex and the idea of what it is now. Rather then what I think iyswim.
In my professional capacity I've come across children as young as 5 access porn online.
As a society we need to be more open as the awful attitudes of those kids is the result of us not talking about it while kids are seeing things that some parents wouldn't even know existed.

Yeh well in that sense I do see the point and it was nice to see at the end that the girls felt able to speak up

I guess I just find it scary how quick kids seem to grow up . At that age I was interested in sex in a curious what's it all about way I think id have felt uncomfortable talking at the level they were. I was happy to learn more myself as I got older it was just a natural kind of progression that comes with age and experience and I think most of my friends were the same
Just my opinion of course

One thing I really think that needs to be spoken About is this whole lad culture and the way your men seem to think it acceptable to talk about and treat women . I'd say porn plays a massive part in this !
And consent aswell, I think some young lads have a very skewed view surrounding their entitlement to sex

Young men not your men
