Beats algebra, and who ever got off to knowing what the capital of Denmark is?

Well, only an idiot would teach this without the rest of the picture (STDs, ect.) but I will say that the average person should take a class or two lest they be a crappy lay...

Always good to round out your knowledge of sexual techniques....... and its never too early to start.....

This list is hilarious.

No one is in need to be taught sexual positions or how to have sex. It is a knowledge that comes naturally. It is a private matter and not even parents have the right to infringe that privacy. Parents who teaches that to their children are irresponsible and dangerous to the wellbeing of their children.

Please! are you kidding me?in a perfect world parents would teach the kids about sex,and then they would make informed responsible decisions.If the parents don't(in most cases is true)then why not educate them on the practices of sex. And by that I don't mean positions ,I mean safer sex practices...

It's an interesting stretch to consider the teaching of sexual positions an ideology, unless of course you are talking about the Kama Sutra. That said, I'd bet that most sex education teachers could probably learrn more about sexual positions from their students than the other way around.

Do any public school sex education classes really teach "sexual positions and how to have sex in school"?

I rather doubt it.

i dont know i dont think sex ed is important. Most sex ed classes get laughed at in the end and are never really taken seriously. Introducing sex ed in highschool is a total waste in time we already know what sex is we know what a condom is we know what pregnancy is and we dont need some old women coming to the school telling us sex is evil and you will die of aids or get some terrable desiese if you have sex because honestly its just not true. Pregnancy should not be the number one thing teens should be worrying about. I hear all the time phew i though i was pregnant but im not so i will keep going around the block, yet most sex ed teachers do not say no your not pregnant but you could have aide suphilis hurpes ghonnaria and lots more i cant spell and dont care to say. But as long as your not pregnant right? There is a brilliant women called Pam Stenzel who came to my school she did NOT say to NOT have sex she made it clear teachers herself friends family mothers fathers cannot decide for you. Instead of telling us sex is evil she says sex is GREAT!!! BUT if you do not use protection then pregnancy is the least you have to worrie about and the only safe sex is with a virgin but wait you dont need to have sex to ger aids herpes and such so the only safe sex is NO sex at all this is when the whole school breaks out in laughter. Go viset Pam Stenzels page google her name. It is the parents resposability to teach their child what sex is and understand that it is not your decision as much as you want it to be it is not your decision weather your child has sex or doesnt. Now if you are still reading i would like to say i am 18 i am not a mother i have had sex even after numeras sex ed classes Pam Stenzel hit me hard and i am now engaged with the most wonderfull man who was a virgin when we met. If you or your child has EVER had sex they need to be tested FOR EVERYTHING atleast once and then a simple pap smear and blood test every 6 months an std can take upto a year to show signs of, but wait i dont have huge blisters on my privates theres no neon sign saying I HAVE STD's well most of these stds are not visible have NO SYMPTOMS that means you could have one and not know it. Now life is not fair most of these std's dont affect men not at all they can continue to have children to have sex with everyone they pleases they can walk away and leave you infertile for the rest of your life and the men are not affected AT ALL ladies. Im sorry this is so long but i feel like i needed to add something into this rather than a simple yes maybe or not answer. In the U.S 3 out of 5 women that have had sex has 3.4 std's. So you give your daughter "birth controle" this gives you a 99.9 percent chance of getting a std thanks mom, glad you care. Read up these days teenagers are having sex earlier and earlier because their parents are to afraid to talk to their child about sex, sex ed isnt going to do it like i said we know what pregnancy and we know what an std is but they dont know that it could happen to them after all "it happens to people from (name country, state, province, town) here but not mee. Think.

number one this is not progressive ideology, like most things on this list. number two Beloved you are totally full of it. Abortion is not being taught as a form of birth of control, that is just an utter and complete lie.

This list is off-the-charts on the unintentional comedy scale. Sex-ed rules in school. . .god knows they've dumbed down the classes so much that everyone passed- that might have been the only week I didn't skip. If parents taught their kids about where to put their little pee-pees, maybey kids wouldn't be so f#cked up.

More ridiculous tripe from whoever made up this list.

Sex Ed is easily one of the stupidest half-baked liberal brainchilds of the 70's. It's as if we weren't reproducing properly for eons prior to liberals deciding it needed to be taught to children. School is for learning math, reading, writing, history and science. It's a shame that kids can tell you less about Andrew Jackson than they can about condoms.

Luckily, I've never been to a school that wierd, where they teach children how to have sex. I wander how they would teach them? Their logic would be that since sex is so important in marriage, just in case you happen to have sex before marriage, it is good to please your partner because there are so many people out there who don't know these positions. But we have survived for the past few thousand years without having someone teach us how to do this. Plus one of the reasons why there is so much premarital sex is because children feel pressured into doing it. It is a cool thing now days to sleep around. Part of it is the movies (full of sex scenes), the gradual decline of morals on TV, and the fact that sex is pushed onto a child at such a young age. There was once a time when children didn't even know what sex was. It was an adult thing. Children should remain innocent until they are old enough to know how to handle these issues. This does not mean you shouldn't talk about it because it is a healthy thing. But teaching sexual positions is going a bit too far.

I think sex ed is important. I was taught the basics when I was 14. That meant the sexual organs and how they work, how women get pregnant, the risks of STD's and AIDS, best ways of preventing getting pregnant etc (in a very factual way - not 'go out and do this....') Now, sexual positions, you find that out later on when you start having sex. If you got taught that in school thats really unresponsible since it would give the message to kids who are underage that its good for them to have sex now. If my kids want to ask me about sex, then I will talk to them about it as there's no point in hiding facts - thats where the trouble will begin if you aren't honest with your child.

When I took sex ed. I was taught that abstinence was the best protection against pregnancy and STDs. Possessing knowledge of sexual positions doesn't necessarily rob anyone of their innocence and in today's society it is difficult to hold onto one's innocence and attempting to preserve it runs the risk of becoming sheltered and naive.

For those who may not have this taught in sex education in there area (thank goodness)this is currently part of many american childrens sex education, along with abortion as a form of birth control, and homosexual relations. This approved for children six and over.

My sex education class was basically just a bunch of kids sitting around and giggling at a thirty-year-old video reel of a couple in the backseat of a car. And even watching that, we still didn't quite understand where everything was supposed to go.

And why don't we just have in-class demonstrations while we're at it?

How about teaching abstinence and letting kids keep their innocence for a change?!?
