Why on earth dont we copy the Germans and Dutch in terms of sex ed and tell the parents to go jump if they have issues with it on the logic it works and that parents who think their teenage sons and daughters are children need lessons in human biology and development

See all the links and let me know if still having probs...


Note have supported the need for open sex ed covering EVERYTHING...


which would inc delivering a baby and looking after one

Bjs relatioship stuff the works.


And realisitically ie taking into account... a sex and booze holiday to club 18-30 in ibiza will be occuring long before any marriage.


And descriptions of the act set more realitically say in a party,, car etc would be more appropate.


Also covering what the Americans term 1s,2nd, 3rd, base and home runs

**************************************

It makes a whole lot more sense with the link... try copying it into a new window.


Its shows eg...

QUOTES

Pregnancy
In the United States, the teen pregnancy rate is more than nine times higher than that in the Netherlands, nearly four times higher than the rate in France, and nearly five times higher than that in Germany.1,2,3

Gonorrhea
In the United States, the teen gonorrhea rate is over 74 times higher than that in the Netherlands and France, over 66 times higher than the rate in former West Germany, and over 38 times higher than that in former East Germany.6

Sexuality education is not necessarily a separate curriculum and may be integrated across school subjects and at all grade levels. Educators provide accurate and complete information in response to students' questions.
Families have open, honest, consistent discussions with teens about sexuality and support the role of educators and health care providers in making sexual health information and services available for teens.
Adults see intimate sexual relationships as normal and natural for older adolescents, a positive component of emotionally healthy maturation. At the same time, young people believe it is "stupid and irresponsible " to have sex without protection and use the maxim, "safer sex or no sex."

15,16,17,18?

Pretty much every Girl I have known since 15,16,17,18.

I have known couples who started in secondary school who ended up married, My bother inlaws brother anf girlfriend have been togther sine 15 and no babies now in 30s.

Most of the girls I knew where rarely without boyfriend for more then a few week,


Many boasted about all the places they had done in it


Inc roundabouts, parks, golf courses, beaches, etc.


Its usually 15-17 year olds I have seen doing the most public affection and kissing.

Who appear most in love.

And its the ones with open minded ex hippie parents who were the most successful...

All those who had strict, family values reliions parents either got pregnant or ended up a mess.

So Ids say given the evidence... That age really likes it...


Makes sense interms of hormone levels too and how much power it gives girls over guys.

Then there wre the ones who were groupies to rock stars, those who done in in the nightclub toilets when we went clubbing from 16.

And it was normally the girls in control and the guys shy and getting dumped on a whim

Answer 1

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOSH


RIGHT OVER THE HEAD????????

Answer 2

It's not so much the education, it's the attitudes of parents. I was going out with a Dutch girl and one time I was drinking coffee in the kitchen with her parents ("I'll be ready in a second") and her mother came out with "She seems to be a lot happier, since you started making love together". She had told her parents.

I am not saying no US/British parents would ever say that to their children's significant others, but it is probably not that common. At least i didn't feel too bad about staying there overnight.

Answer 3

I just gotta take this one!! Children are children because they are learning how to function in an adult world. self restraint and life lessons are part of learning to be a successful adult. I raised my daughter like an adult -in-training and gave great freedom yet, many conversations about consequences of the choices she makes. Her friends would come to my home and we would have these conversations and wouldn't you know, each of her group of childhood friends have not gotten pregnant, married and divorced or suffering from being babies raising babies. they are now 27 years old. One is in Europe as a social worker, one is in Seattle doing computer engineering, one is teaching, and my daughter, she has a degree in Spanish, international affairs and accounting. It is not in the best interest of adults in training to be given free reign in a world of disrespect for selves or others. It is not forward thinking that sex is freedom. Sex needs to be a responsible decision, one of personal self respect, dignity and respect for others. AND, REALLY, HOW MANY GIRLS REALLY ENJOY SEX AT 16? 15? 14? 13? 12? 17? 18?...
