i think i'm missing whatever disgust/horror thing people seem to have around sex. bizarre fetishes don't make me feel freaked out, just curious. i don't have any 'depraved' or 'damaging' frame around any sexual arousal, there is no inherently bad arousal in my book.

i also don't think exposure to sexuality is inherently bad either, i suspect it's mostly culturally conditioned! can u imagine a world where naked bodies weren't taboo, flashing would lose all its power, nobody would give a shit

where i grew up, exposure to the *knowledge of what sex was* or what the genitals of the other gender were like, until age like... 16, was considered too taboo, too much exposure of kids to sex when they 'weren't ready to handle it.' I think they were wrong.

anyway when i see someone wearing big prosthetic boobs i dont feel a disgust response, its mostly like 'huh cool' And the thought teens might see it im like 'well this is the way the world is and it seems reasonable not to shelter teens from that'

i do agree that public school is a tricky frame, tho if you're gonna be on board the "if the majority of parents feel uncomfortable with their kids being exposed to something in the classroom then we should not allow it" then there's a few tougher hypotheticals down the line

I'd like to see both how "the majority of parents' comfort decides" is a sensible summary of the arguments about teachers performing sexual activities in class, and how public school can reasonably function when fundamentally opposed to the values of a majority of parents.

Words like 'unprofessional' and 'lack of decorum' don't begin to cover it. It's full on clown world. Dressing that way at any job is inappropriate. The person with the fakies in shop class, what's the goal, educating children or drawing the maximum amount of attention to himself?

Not seeing how tricky it is. Explaining the basics of sex to children is one thing. Going on and on about one's kinks is another. These are ADULT games. But hell, lets just have quarter toss and get the little buggers drunk once in awhile. Nothing wrong with alcohol right?

Well because for me it’s not a question of inherently bad. Seeing this at a festival wouldn’t pose me any problems, even less clothed or fully naked. It’s just a question of degree (not qualitative, but quantitative) and therefore context matters. There seems to be no … [1]
