To think that 14 year olds don’t need educated on sex positions?

My dd doesn’t want to go to school this afternoon as she is embarrassed to go to her sex education lesson. I spoke to her about how it was good that young people were being taught about sex and she went into more detail about why she is uncomfortable.
Last week they discussed sexual positions and different ways to have sex including anal. She was mortified and said she doesn’t mind knowing about sex (we’ve always been honest about the birds and the bees from a young age anyway) but she finds this awkward and far too much information about which she has absolutely no interest currently.

I am no prude, but was quite shocked at the detail being discussed and agree with her it’s unnecessary for this age group.

My replies are being deleted, so I assume Mumsnet has decided that pornography belongs in the schools and it's good to teach little children to have sex.

There is far cry between acknowledging that some families have two moms or two dads (like we talked about with my son when his school friends had same sex parents) and showing them graphic images of sex. I see where you fall on that spectrum, we must push them into being trans or you will scream homophobia.

No

I think they saw the homophobia in you calling gay people pedophiles tbh

You are clearly homophobic and transphobic and have issues if you think anything anyone has said here means we think we should teach "little children" (14 year olds aren't little children) about sex or show graphic images of sex or if you think anything mentioning gay and transpeople is porn and forcing them to be that way or that transphobia and homophobia are the same

But she is allowed to call me "homophobic" for disagreeing with her, right? It's ok for leftists to call names, but the minute someone does it back they are deleted. You can dish it out, but you certainly can't take it.

You literally posted that gay people were pedophiles!

And now, I'm not welcome on Mumsnet if I am not a far leftist who believes humans spontaneously switch genders

I don’t think that believing that humans spontaneously switch genders is really a central tenet of Mumsnet tbh - have you been on here long? (Far leftist is also pretty wide of the mark fwiw)

ButWhatAboutTheBees · 05/10/2023 20:02

And now, I'm not welcome on Mumsnet if I am not a far leftist who believes humans spontaneously switch genders and we shouldn't have elective abortions up to 9 months.

Well as MN is generally fairly anti-trans tbh. And literally NO ONE believes humans spontaneously switch genders other than transphobes trying to suggest that's what transpeople are doing...

Amought the list was the dental dam (I think that's what it's called?) and we're taught this could be used for practices such as 'arse licking.' I can only speak for myself, but the fact this it was mentioned didn't make me what to grab my boyfriend and go and try - in fact the thought was (and still is) repulsive to me.

Exactly. I mentioned earlier that we were told about oral sex in relation to STIs and Cold sores.
It didn't make me drop to my knees and suck a cock. The idea is one that has always grossed me out regardless.

It wasn't mentioned to make us all go and do it and think it's normal. It was mentioned so that IF we did it, we'd know that there were safety concerns

I have seen the videos, yes. But as has been explained, if the video doesn't support your worldview, it's not "real." It's only "real" if it aligns with your politics.

Please link to the videos. You are asserting that this is happening so it's your responsiblity to provide proof.

That poster has left MN apparently so you won't get a reply from them

This is all getting a bit hysterical.

The only thing teenage nieces at the local school are taught about anal sex -

Some people choose to take part in other forms of sexual activity such as oral or anal sex.

Consent to one form of sexual activity does not imply consent to another, consent must be sought and agreed on each occasion before moving from one activity to another. If you have consented before, it does not automatically mean consent on future occasions.

When practising any form of sexual activity including oral or anal sex, contraception (condoms) must be used to prevent the transmission of STIs and other disease. Anal sex in particular can carry a greater risk of transmitting serious infections, and if adequate preparation of the area and lubrication are not used can cause severe internal injury. If moving from one sexual activity hands should be washed and a new condom must be used to reduce the risk spreading germs and infections. The implications could be… yadda yadda.

The kids are told if they have questions they can ask but it’s pretty clinical and certainly wouldn’t “encourage” anyone to do anything!

There are insufficient facts here for others to comment, unless they actually attend the lesson, which of course they can’t do.

OP, the fact you refer to the “birds and the bees” suggests that you might not be comfortable with sex issues either and your daughter is following suit.

"Left".

Needmorelego · 06/10/2023 10:28

It's interesting that the OP only posted once and then left us all to discuss 14 year olds and sex.
Hmmmm......
I think I might report this thread.

"Left".

Well, I reported a post and the MN reply was they'd deregistered so I assume they've gone
