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

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

Some STDS suppress your immune system. Therefore, you get sick easier and it is harder to recover from.

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?

My schools have never avoided it. The ones that didn't avoid it are the ones where I actually had issues.

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.

This </3
It genuinely angers me when people think women are the only victims, the only ones that can get raped or have mental health disorders, eating disorders or self harm.. etc
If we keep ignoring it, especially when the stats aren't as small as most people think, I dread to think how the mentality of the male and female population towards men will change.

*Things like domestic abuse, too.

Issues with how sex and sexuality were taught?

Rape. Sexuality has never been an issue in any school I've attended.

I had sex ed in my school. Yeah, sometimes it can be graphic, but in my opinion its very helpful. It explains the process, what happens, and what could happen (we were shown pictures of people and their symptoms while they had different STD's...not pretty xD )

Ah. I'm guessing it's the old "omg gurls u need to protect urselves omg" narrative.

No.. I'm saying we had discussions between both genders in the same room about it. It was only those schools where rape actually came up as an issue.

Whoops, I guess I misunderstood.

I took an anatomy and physiology class and we had to do projects on certain illnesses and diseases. One girl did hers on STDs and she showed us pictures of genitals affected by different STDs. It definitely isn't pretty, which is why it is very important for everyone to be taught to use condoms to reduce the risk of contracting one.

"Blow job"

It's just slang for oral sex with the penis.

It means Blowjob I think. Slang for Oral sex with the penis.

Edit: Ninja'd.

 

[Cariad]

Even a rebel character in Double Cross uses a condom.

It is definitely important because you then know what different STDs and STIs look like. It's also important to know that you might have one without knowing it.

PSA: If you're sexually active, please make sure to get tested regularly!

The title was kind of immature, so I can understand why it was changed.

Planned Parenthood is a great place to go to get tested for any STD/STI. It's also a good place to talk about contraception and birth control. They can give you a prescription and you can refill it there for a price.

It's a bit steep imo. For the one in my area, it was like $50 for a consultation + getting the prescription, $112 for getting an exam, consultation, and the prescription, and then $20 something for each refill of the pill. >__< For a girl who has no job, that's a lot. I wouldn't even let my boyfriend pay for it because it was pretty expensive in my eyes. I'll stick with condoms and tracking my fertile cycles.

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.

Do you think guys get hot as well? You don't see guys wearing short shorts. The reason girls wear that kind of clothing is because over-sexualization already took place, It's not some new thing. What you're saying doesn't even make sense.

I should elaborate, the reason people try to force a dress code is because women ARE oversexualized, and it is for the same reason that the clothes that women wear are on the market, they aren't advertised saying "wear these and you will stay cool all summer long".

In regards to the pill:
It isn't for everybody. If you have complications or side effects with the pill you need to contact your doctor and either try a different brand (I've had different experiences with different brands) or talk about other methods of birth control. It's definitely something to look into if you have heavy or irregular menstrual cycles or if you're planning to be or already sexually active!
