Contaception talk for year 9-a dildo ???

[mooshy]

DD1 had her contraception talk yesterday.I think this is fab because in my day teachers spent far too long talking about how to get pregnant ect. and no time on how not to ! However am i being prudish in saying i was a little shocked when she told me they passed round lots of things of which one was a dildo ! I know times have changed ect,but not entirely convinced its approprite >Is my dd and her lovely group of friends among the limited number of kids i know that are quite happy to be children for as long as pos.FFS they still play and make up dances and songs ect.-why did she need to be handed a dildo ?

[Tortington]

i thought a dildo was a strap on

[Tortington]

in any case. semantics aside yes far to young WTF i would be furious.

seriously

[Tutter]

wtf has a dildo got to do with sex education? i'd be vexed to say the least

[mooshy]

Not quite sure what one was myself! When i told her this she thought i was joking !

[kittylette]

what?

why??

[Jessajam]

dildo = fake penis (whether strapable or not...) Was it something to do with how to put on a condom???
Does seem a bit odd to have passed ita round, but could understand using it to demo putting on a condom ( bit more accurate than a banana...)

[kittylette]

yes its atomically correct, but why would you need to know how to put a condom on at 9???

in highschool, yes! i understand that

but not at 9

[kittylette]

just re-read

YEAR 9

i think thats aceeptable and responsible now, lol

i thought it was a nine year old

[Tortington]

nine years old though

i am as pro sex ed as any one i ever met

but handing round a plastic cock to a nine year old is outragous

[Hulababy]

I assume that this was part of the "how to put on a condom" thing. Rather than just passing it round to look at?

Sadly for some children, aged 13 isn't that far away fom needing this information.

[Tortington]

year nine

oh

fine year nine fine plastic cocks away!

yes that makes them what 14?

[mooshy]

Kama i agree mostly.Also we have one of if not the highest teenage pregnancy rate in Europe, and prob because the rest of europe introduce sex ed. really early.We are a very open household but she is 14.Am all for passing round a condom ect .She has been brought up with all sorts of contraction leaflets and the such because i am the local teenage preg. midwife.Still think a dildo is out of order though .Where do you draw the line ?

[Hulababy]

Y9 is 13 year old children I think.

[Tutter]

ah, i also read as 9yo

[mooshy]

Maybe it was just to demo the condom - never thought of that tbh.Will ask her tonight.Why call it a dildo - or is it.God i am a prude .

[Piffle]

pays to use something that resembles truly a knob end

some kids if you use a broom handle or banana, then blame that fatc of their pregnancies that they always put the condom on the broom/banana before sex and cannot understand why they got pregnant
The less room to move the better.
the term dildo is pretty inappropriate IMO as it has sex shop connotations.
perhaps a more scientific name could be used in a school like...

erm
????

[kittylette]

no at 13, i think thats fine

i actully had a vibrator at 14

[Plibble]

Unfortunately girls have been known to get pregnant at 11, in which case it seeems sensible to teach sex ed at 9. Of course it won't be relevant for lots of children (would not have been for me - I was still playing hospital with my dolls when I was 9) but because children become sexually aware at different ages schools are supposed to keep revisiting the subject each year to hammer the message home when it first becomes relevant to each child.

Having said that I am at a loss to understand why a sex toy would be passed around in a class on contraception. I remember them showing us caps and condoms, but that is more on point.

[kittylette]

maybe it was a sex education class, not just contraception

masturbation is as much a part of sex as penetration

[Plibble]

Just re-read. I also thought she was aged 9. Still don't think the dildo was relevant and that a banana would do. The Teacher could always explain that the condom goes on a penis, banana goes in the lunchbox to avoid confusion.
Did you really Kittylette? How very independent of you!

[mooshy]

A vibrator at 14 !
No i am def. a prude .
I was 33 !

[Plibble]

Even if it is a sex education class, are schools now teaching kids how to get themselves off? I thought that was what summer holidays in France were for...
