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!

When I was a teenager there was this public health organization that put out a little spiral-bound book. They may as well have called it "What your sex and drug education didn't tell you." I was consulting that thing well into my 20's.

The thing that stuck with me most though were the accounts from people who'd experienced SA. I never wanted to put anyone through that.
