I wonder...
- Do people who received lousy sex education actually realize that was the case? If so, how many?
- Shouldn't there be some sort of certification requirement for sex? I mean really...Doctors, lawyers, CPAs, engineers, even hairdressers, along with a host of other professions require one to demonstrate they have some required level of understanding about the discipline before they are permitted to practice it.....just saying....nobody ever was irrevocably affected (or harmed) by a bad hairdo. [This is something of a tongue-in-cheek comment/question; however, its theme of the importance of young people's being well informed about sex and sexuality is not part of the satire.]
For a long time, I've felt that this would be a good idea myself. While engaging in sexual intercourse usually isn't as dangerous as driving for those who've never learned how, I certainly believe there are enough similarities to warrant the same idea of certification before engaging. I'm even wondering if perhaps at least a moderate course in parenting might be included (some people really don't know enough to be parents; I can see how certification could help here). I also think some basics on how to form healthy romantic relationships would be good.
