Serious Talk on Sex -Keep It Mature! description about a manga now added

[Kildor]

Quick question : What causes STD, and how did the person get it? Out of thin air?
I'm really curious. Also, I support this thread. My achool never talked about this. They only talked about pointless stuff like, "Don't get into a relationship yet!" Or things about puberty.

Yup~
but yeah we have the highest pregnancy rates so lets charge people a ridiculous amount of money for contraceptives ok

its a business, a lucrative one at that. people will have sex and will need condoms regardless of the price. so why not charge higher?

i just wanted to add to rape point that maybe is also no, that no response is also no. if a girl, or guy, does not explicitly say they want to have sex with you then it could be considered rape.

honestly, there's whole bunch of stds out there so its hard to generalize but. direct contact with any sexual bodily fluid usually does the trick.

My GOD that is so freaking wrong... ugh that angers me... I hate playing the favorites game.

Like my boyfriend has dyed black hair and was threatened exclusion unless he dyed it out (fyi he never did lol) because apparently it is against the school rules and isn't a natural hair colour yet I got away with neon orange for ages. B)

(p.s I currently have black hair and nobody has ever told me off)

I get it, but if the government are so concerned about high pregnancy rates, surely they would do something about it?
I have no idea if they tax it though, actually.

Depending on the disease many are usually contagious only by sexual intercourse but a nice amount of infections and other diseases will stay on your blood/saliva until you finish your meds. Althought there is a exception with Hepatitis and VIH, that one stays on your blood forever and you cant give blood or have intercourse without the risk to infect the other.

Edit: Sometimes you can be born with VIH or sifilis (another sexual disease... thats treatable btw), but that would be because your mother has it and gave it to you when you were a fetus or by breast feeding you. (only applies for VIH)

Posting a quick reminder:

Remember to keep things serious and don't judge anyone. Absolutely no "slut shaming" or debates on abortion or religion!!

This isn't a place to judge others but to inform others who are curious to what comes naturally. However, this isn't a "how to" thread so keep your explanations for things forum appropriate. If you are not mature enough for these kinds of discussions, don't post.

If this topic becomes too out of hand it will be closed. All questions should be serious and all answers should be respectful and informative.

you get STDs by sleeping with other people with STD's, its not just like 'i dont like this couple it is not my otp so i will give them an STD"

I definitely agree. I think I see double standards in high school dress codes. Dress codes usually focus more on females, and male equivalencies are less frequently considered "breaking the dress code." Principals, can we just not?

What really makes me mad is when you see the stories about how schools are changing dress codes and making girls cover up so it doesn't distract the boys.

Really?

It's ridiculous because if the weather is really hot, girls don't wanna wear pants. They wanna wear shorts and skirts and be cool. People really need to stop oversexualizing body parts. We all have legs, congratulations. It may be messed up, but if a school has these sort of dress codes, I want a girl to faint from the heat because she was forced to wear clothes that are not practical in accordance to the weather. It's endangerment.

My high school used to have a rule where girls' shorts and skirts had to be three fingers below the butt. Then they changed the uniform and the shorts and skirts. Instead of making all girls wear pants year round, they let us wear shorts that went down to our knees. That's a much better alternative than only wearing pants.

it shouldn't be: how not to get raped. it should be: do not rape.

STD (sexually transmitted diseases) are viruses or bacteria that is transferred from one partner to the next through bodily fluid exchanges. To prevent them one must always use protection and have themselves and partners tested. You can get STDs on genitals as well as in the mouth, nose, and eyes depending on where the effected fluid touches.

I definitely agree.

I remember reading something on tumblr that said that everyone should be taught about rape the same way we are taught about cannibalism; it's just morally wrong and abhorrent in this society.

My school has a special skirt with the school logo on it, which is the only skirt girls are allowed to wear and it is down to your knees before the girls hitch them up.

They cost a ridiculous amount over here (or at least the decent/trusted brands do)
I'm pretty sure we have the highest teenage pregnancy rates here, so why the hell are they costing people like ?10+ for a box of about 5? what even
ok

Oh you're in the uk? There's an app ( I can't remember what it's called that tells you loads of locations where you can get free condoms in the area you live.

 

[Zedark]

Guys in my school don't get taught about rape we get moved to another classroom when the girls are being taught about it which bothers me because guys can get raped too.

Oh alright. Thanks for the answers
Why does STD kill though? And where did it originally come from? Animals?

... that is absolutely absurd. I'm shocked that that kind of selectivism is even tolerated... Usually a few parent complaints are enough to tip admins, but wow... that's quite unfortunate.

They can just become serious infections and cause loads of problems with your body. I won't go into detail because there is so much. I think that STD's just originated from genetic abnormalities, but I may be mistaken. Hopefully someone can clarify.

STD's come from many different places, and though they're not all deadly per-se, they can cause pain, discomfort, or long (if not forever) lasting complications. One of the most famous ones is HIV, which is able to be gotten from reusing unclean needles, sexual activity, or even mosquito bites.

on the rape subject my school endorses rapists!!?!
Like literally this sixth former got raped by another student at a party and the school didn't even punish him, or contact the police when the girl asked for help.
What they did do, however, was deny it even happened and they threw out people that made jokes about the guy that raped her/pointed out how useless the school is.
erg

Very true that men also get raped. Perhaps what we need is an all-inclusive class that teaches us that all genders/identities can be rapists. It's never just a "woman gets raped by man" experience, and we need to represent this in schools. Why do we need to shy away from this discussion in school anyways?
