Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well, I know in Indiana and old law is still on the books which forbids a**l and oral sex. That pretty well kills most homosexual love practices. Though obviously it's not enforced.

The only thing I can think of for the extremely young age limit, may be that the particular area was created by a group of greco-child lovers. This was a practice in Ancient Greece, as well as Rome for a time, and the muslim world, were male teachers would have relations with their favorite young male student. Or other types of superiors would take one of the children for a lover.

Though socrates is known for having said "A man is never so beautiful as when he he is a boy and a man, when his beard is but just begining" though socrates objected that, while he may have slept in the same bed as his favorite male students, it was a test of his will, as he considered the self sacrifice of not indulging brought him wisdom, even if the boy asked for it. That's the only thing I could think of, as 13 is about the right age for this sort of thing to go on.

I'd say sex education ought to be held off until a little later. I don't think many seven year olds would truly understand what they were being taught. In Indiana, public schools start you in 5th grade. I think that's a fairly adequate time to start gradually - as that's when you first really start to have sexual desires you'd like to act on. Then they have the full on run down in 9th grade which is extremely helpful or not, depending upon the teacher.

Yeah but it's good to teach kids early. Now-a-days it seems that kids are getting more sexually active at younger ages. I think if they were taught properly they could at least know how to be safe if they're gonna be stupid and go out having sex.

People shouldn't be so conservative about sex. Being strict and not talking to your kids about it makes them want to know as well as being ignorant.. and the mixed messages that we get about sex everyday cant be good. It's like one side of our society is saying "SEX IS BAD!" and one side is flaunting it all over the ******** place.

I agree on certain parts. I agree that sex ed needs to start at a younger age. At my school in the 3rd grade I remember them having a 'Boy' bear and a 'Girl' bear and they showed that where the bathingsute covered, you don't touch. It was more of a 'If some one touches you here self defence' kinda of thing, but if you changed the program it would be a sex ed lesson.

Though as far as age goes I belive that it should be 18 on the bored no matter what. That way your at least out of highschool and can fend for yourself. 16 is too low beause your still in school, some parents disown kids, and if you end up getting a kid then most times you have to quit school, witch is never good.

So I think sex ed at a younger age and legal sex age 18.

I don't know but I can tell you I know a girl who had an abortion in the 7th grade.

There's a problem I have with why it's not wise for kids to teach themselves, and the reason takes only three words: 'Pull and Pray.'

I think they should spend at least a week studying the sex organs of both genders, including covering the clitoris(My classes never even acknowledged it's existence), the g-spot(Again, not mentioned), and why you shouldn't get confused when the proctologist stimulates your prostate(They didn't say anything about the possible effects of having it manipulated are.)

Also, they should spend a while studying and doing research papers on viable means of birth control.

They should also include female condoms in the listing of birth control methods. In my class, it was: Male condom, diaphragm, birth control pills, morning after pills, egg freezing, vasectomy, and spermicide. They never mentioned female condoms, not the average prices nor the process in which to get them.
