Stuff about cishet sex and preventing STDs is important.

But absolutely nothing about gender! Or romance! Or hell, even lust between two cishet people! Can't the concept of "hookups" be brought up?

Deriving sexual pleasure for both parties wasn't even talked about either!

And of course the concept of "being gay" wasn't brought up either. "Lesbians? Gays? Are those a brand of energy drink or.....?"

And "PIV" sex was the only method acknowledged to exist.

As I type this I'm realizing it wasn't even very good for the cishets!

No mentions of setting boundaries in sexual and romantic relationships. Nothing about breaking up in a healthy and constructive manner. Again, nothing about making sure both parties are sexually satisfied.

I mean we all know one party in a relationship becoming apathetic towards the other party never happens. Lust and romance Love are completely static emotions that never fluctuate with time!

Nothing about different types of love.

On a personal level I'm pissed I was never told about asexuality, aromanticism, and gender queerness.

I mean god forbid I get told what being agender and transfem means and then wonder if I'm both of those! Or that I could be aromantic!

Luckly we weren't taught about the abstinence crap.

We did get taught about periods! Including the boys! Nothing about endermitriosis or PMOS though.

Which..... Yeah that should've been taught.

I'm being somewhat hyperbolic. The sex ed I got was a cut above most other American sex eds, but it was still inadequate as it didn't bring up relationship stuff, was still somewhat male centered, didn't bring us queers up, etc.

Props for going towards all the boys and being like "By the way menstruation and pregnancy are can be really unpleasant. Now stop being misogynistic pigs".
