Sex me up!!!

I usually keep politics out of my blog, but this is one issue I can't ignore. I don't want to ignore it!

The decision to introduce Sex Education in schools has, once again, been stalled and declared ebil.

"It's against Indian Culture!" [I suppose we're a nation born of immaculate conceptions?]

"It will increase the number of crimes against women!" [The same way learning to drive has turned me into a hit and run vigilante and learning karate has turned me into a martial arts hudlum, right?]

"The kids will start becoming sexually active earlier than before!" [With all due respect, it's already happened. And mostly coz the kids are too stupid to know what's it about when it happens to them.]

"It will damage the sociocultural fabric of the nation and make kids aware of sex at a very early age.They will learn when they grow up." [I bet this bugger who said this just wanted to show off his vocabulary. "Oh loookie! I can make big words!" <_<]>Another MLA has the cheek to say that European countries need sex education because they have a declining population. Do these people even know what sex education is?? Seems unlikely. We're a nation of misinformed sex deprived maniacs now. No thanks to the various political bodies that have been continuously implementing rules and whims under the pretext of "keeping the moralities of the public in mind".Bloddy retards should stop taking the moral high ground every time they wanna blow something out of proportion to distract the public from the real issues.

Here's what wikipedia has to say about Sex Education.

"Sex education is a broad term used to describe education about human sexual anatomy, sexual reproduction, sexual intercourse, and other aspects of human sexual behavior."

The Times of India Carried a report yesterday, where this one girl said, "I used to think that condom was a kind of lingerie, coz all the condom adverts had pictures of scantily clad women in them." Funny? Not really. the chick in question is from a well to do family, goin to a posh school, and a good college... It's very very plausible.

Even if the newspaper reports are not to be believed, I can share my own personal experiences. One of my friends said that she never really knew about the relationship between sex and her menstrual cycles. When her mom gave her "the talk" she only said that it was a natural, normal part of the body's wear and tear process for girls. But not once did she talk about sex. The girl only realised the link between the two in the 12th grade, in the biology chapter for human reproduction.Majority of the people I know are only decently well informed about sex, but it's sketchy at best. I have been lucky enough to learn about it properly. My parents never quite had "the talk" with me. But I did have a decent book that pretty much answers everything. I guess when my relationship with my parents wasn't exactly the soap opera hugs-at-the-end-of-the-day kind, so I never really expected a "talk" in the first place. But it was nice to have the facts in front of me before my head was screwed up in the school play ground. My 7th grade science teacher had a sex ed session with us. Guys and girls separately, to keep things from getting awkward. It was good. :)

 

I remember, in the 3rd grade, the song "Who the *dash* is Alice?" was all the rage. The seniors all used to chant it in their scandalous way in school, makin fun of the kids who didn't know what the *dash* meant. I didn't. After a lot of thought, I figured it was "Who the *hell* is Alice?". That was pretty scandalous, right? Apparently, not enough. Once, on the slides, I asked my then best friend about it.

"Who the dash is Alice?" "Who the fuck is Alice!"  "What's that?" "Wel... its like when a guy puts his thing in the girl's thing." The second friend was nodding away in a sagely manner behind us, verifying the authenticity of the definiton. I didn't believe him, but I nodded anyway. Noone wants to stand out, right? About a year later, we had the internet at home. Google was just starting up back then. One of my friends had proudly demonstrated how easy it was to search for, and look at a naked Pamela Anderson Lee. I had no concept of who she was, or why she was so famous. I wasn't even interested in the nudie pics my friend was goin through... All I remember from that day was the fascination with the concept of a way to search for any and all things I might think of, including, but not restricted to naked women. I honestly can't imagine what my life would have been like without Google search.

Getting back to the topic, it's a sad thing that the political figureheads are all moving against the introduction of sex education in schools. I'm going to get back into my shell of apathy. The only reason I avoid thinking about serious issued because it depresses me to think about how stupid most people involved in it are being. And how helpless I am to make them change their point of view. Still, best of luck to you all! Oh, and don't forget. Safe Sex is the best sex!
