I am not your Catholic dad. Your issues with him don't relate to what I am saying. As an adult man, you appear to have absolutely no idea of the huge pressures teenage girls are under to be sexualised.

And you think that eliminating any discussion of actual sex from sex ed is a way to relieve this pressure? Lol I grew up in a *fortress* of the kind of "safeguarding" you advocate -- nothing but dire warnings about pregnancy and STIs -- and it didn't work out that way

Hello strawman! I am strongly in favour of them learning about "actual sex". But there are an unlimited number of sexual practices. Clearly we are not going to teach children about the vast majority. The question is what is age-appropriate. You can't understand girls' views.

Random middle class suburban cishet lady says anal sex not "actual sex", but part of bizarre infinite universe of possible different sex acts no one would ever think to do on their own Seeks to build whole sex ed curriculum on this understanding of the world More at 11

Any sex ed tool that includes the anus and “objects” but excludes the clitoris is centred on male gratification.

... So add that in as well? Perhaps I misunderstood and that wasn't supposed to be commenting for excluding anything from sex ed

It's certainly a very odd tack to take when we were just told that getting into too many details about sexual pleasure in sex ed was just a way to groom and sexualize the kids

If it’s teaching girls about anal sex and not about the clitoris then this is *all* about male pleasure.

So teach both girls and boys about the clitoris as well...? But treating some types of penatrative sex as somehow dirtier than others is just disingenuous

The point is that they aren’t. Shit like this is all about male gratification:https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.teenvogue.com/story/anal-sex-what-you-need-to-know/amp …
