Sex in Class

[Lavenderice]

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

I'm a teacher. I sat in on a PHSE lesson to do with porn. It was pretty amazing tbh. It covered anal, ejaculating on face, shaving etc. both boys and girls seemed to understand the difference between porn and real life

Stanky- it doesn't sound to me as if the school handled it well al all.

The (excellent) woman who coordinates SRE in our borough told me a depressing story about a discussion with Year 6 boys. They said that the first thing you do (before having sex) is to get the girl drunk.

I'm going to try and find the program on catch up. I have 2 boys and would hate to think if them having attitudes like that.

I don't see why this can't be taught in all schools.

Cos, you know, then we might have to acknowledge teenagers are sexual beings.

Or worse, talk about sex. So unbritish.

I presume skanky's son's school did talk to social services. Well,no hope so anyway. But they did tell her utter rubbish, so I can't say I have much faith in them.

I didn't see the show but being a mum to a 3 year old little girl I'm feeling more worried for her than I was already!
How do I instill in her respect for her body and that no means no.
It's always been that young girls do things to impress boys but these days it's so scary to think what boys "expect" girls/women to do!!

I wonder how much of what the boys said they actually believed..surely they can look at themselves and their fellow female students and figure out that porn is a massively constructed thing that is unlikely to be reflective of the real experience?! Maybe I'm naive!

When I grew up you got an idea of what sex was like from catching rude bits from films you probably shouldn't be watching, or TV, I remember watching queer as folk when I was 15 and being like . It was probably a much healthier way to learn about sex than watching men constantly jizz in people's faces.

I had to laugh at sex in class when the teenage boys and there mum were having a discussion about different terms used for sexual acts and the boys seemed to thing that there mum wouldn't know about all the different things because they just did the basics In those days ha ha like he thinks as a 15 yr old he knows all about it, but sex wasn't invented when his mum was young!!

The dutch teacher was fab! Why doesn't the Uk follow their lead??

It has long been known that the
more kids know about sex the less likely they are to experiment ... There is an inverse relationship. Holland and Belgium has later first intercourse, anf lower teenage pregnancy.

The teenage boys' attitudes made my flesh creep...

'If she can give me consent to shag her I'm sure I can come on her face'

I was shocked at how many of the girls didn't know where their clitoris was. These are 15 and 16 year old girls.

I was surprised that they didn't know where anything was, considering that it sounded like most of them were sexually active. How did they manage it?! Not to mention things like tampons etc., if they'd no clue what was where.
