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!

mine was like 3 decades ago. i remember like it was all cishetero normative, and even then focused just on the anatomical mechanisms... mostly the fact that the only absolutely safe thing you could do was nothing. consent not mentioned. hell, jorkin' it wasn't really discussed either, except to say that most women didn't really do that, only guys. eye roll.

this was at age 14, in a big 200 seat auditorium, with a part time PE coach lamenting that this had to be taught due to some state wide requirement. also, not seemingly a type of guy whose partner would characterize as a sensitive and capable sexual partner.

needless to say, a lot of the people i went to school with would characterize their kids as accidental/didn't mean to, and would only really, seriously investigate "family planning" after they had like 3 kids, didn't want anymore, but still wanted to bust with their partner regularly. i remember one friend said to me that it was impossible [in a cishetero relationship] to prevent having kids because, quote, "shit happens". guy was like 40 at the time, with two kids and on his third marriage! smdh
