What was Sex Ed like when you were in school, Peepz? I was taught about the penis (not so much about the vagina) by an over the top gym teacher who moonlit as a bartender. He was obnoxiously loud and only wore Zubaz pants with cropped tshirts that never seemed to match quite right.
He made the vagina having people feel uncomfortable because every time he said the word, “Penis,” he seemed to thrust his hips forward just enough so that the penis having people would notice and start giggling.
I learned about anatomy in that class, but that’s about it.
Most of my sex education came from porn, which is also not a very healthy way to learn about things. Porn is the ideal, right? It’s the fantasy that we have in our brain about how sex is supposed to look. When translated into reality, most sex falls way short of that. Our bodies are all different, we don’t have the same dimensions as the people we’re getting off too…
Once I realized that the porn I was watching was an ideal fantasy, rather than the reality I thought it was…I needed to educate myself about sex more.
The great state of New Jersey (which happens to be where I hang my hat #NoFistPump) has revamped their new sexual education guidelines and I’m honestly excited about it.
The language has all been revamped so that it includes lessons about social media, LGBTQ rights, sexting awareness and cyberbullying. Important things like pregnancy and STD prevention are also pretty high on the list. Some people are making a lot of noise about the inclusion of abortion as an option. I’m hoping that normalizing abortion discussion will help dissipate the stigma of making that decision, especially to high school age people.
My favorite part about this whole revamp is the fact that these young adults are going to be taught that you can be safe, whether we are talking about actually having safer consensual sex, or striving to eliminate sexual violence.
From the article linked below:
“Providing New Jersey’s students with thorough and inclusive health and physical education is the first step to creating a safer Garden State,” Patricia Teffenhart, executive director of the New Jersey Coalition Against Sexual Assault, said in a statement. “Comprehensive sexual health education is a proven protective factor against sexual violence and essential to young people’s health and safety.”
TEACH. THE. KIDS. ABOUT. CONSENT.
Say it louder for the people in the back.
Teach the kids about consent and that it is 100% OK to say, “No,” if you aren’t interested in banging.
Listen, the Internet makes sex and sexuality so accessible, and we have to do something to raise these young people the right way. Let’s try to fix the mistakes of the past by bringing up a new generation of humans who are able to respect each other’s sexuality completely. I’m excited to do more research on the new lesson plans and discovering how much more informed the students in the Dirty Jerz are going to be.
