it used to be a priests job to tell a couple getting married about this.
we take education for granted, especially when there's misinformation around
Because getting sex ed from a man who isn't supposed to know anything at all about a woman's sexual preferences and responses is totally the way to ensure a long and happy and productive marriage.
oh i am by no means defending the practice at all
Not the first time I've heard someone talk like sex ed is supposed to include a section on technique. Like your high school gym teacher is going to start talking about "first start with gentle caresses around the area to get her in the mood." No, school sex ed is meant to be about the realities of human reproduction, how pregnancy works, how STDs work and how to control these things.
Seems it's supposed to be anyone's job except a woman's to teach a man what she likes.
I mean in canada we definitely touched on foreplay and erogenous zones. Not like specific in depth instructions, but talk about how a woman should be 'warmed up' and the physical reaction when she starts getting wet and horny. That seems like a pretty basic thing to start with, whether youre learning about or having sex. From what ive heard about the states though im not surprised it isnt.
Yeah the United States is such a prudish country you'd never get away with gym teachers explaining how to have good sex on the clock. We can barely manage banana condoming.
True, but the priest would have told them not to use a condom, you'll have to admit that.
Only because it was also a priest's job to tell single people that thinking about sex before marriage was going to condemn them to an eternity in hell.
