Today I'm researching for this paper I have to write about Sexuality Education. The paper is supposed to be about my own sexuality education - from formal and informal sources (school, parents, media, friends etc) but to be honest, I can't remember how I learned about sex. I'm pretty sure I just started having it and worked it out from there. And Cosmo taught me how to give a blowjob. I've never had any complaints, so thanks Cosmo.
This paper has been really interesting. It's amazing what doesn't get taught in schools that really needs to be. Do you remember what you learned during Sex Ed? Do you remember what you DIDN'T learn, but wish you had have? Is there anything specific you could've been taught that really could've made your sexuality and everything associated with it easier as you grew older?
I wish I had learned far earlier that sex doesn't equal love. It's pretty common for parents to answer the question where do babies come from, with "Well honey, when a man and a woman love each other ..." and school is the same. They really ram it home that sex should only be partaken in if you love the other party. I think this notion really screwed me up for a long time.
Anyway. Time for some reading.

Why can we all just get over ourselves and fuck... As long as there is equity of power and rights and respect for all sex could be the thing that stops all wars IMO.
