What you wish they would have taught us in sex ed...

This is more of a post for fun (and dreaming of a better world where sex is not some rocky road most of stumble blindly along for years before finding our way)

As a woman, what do you wish you had been told during sex education? What little bit of knowledge could have made your sexual life so much easier?

Try posting it as a little factoid, like you'd read in a text book :) Discussions around sex ed totally welcome too! If I ever have a child, you can be sure that sexuality will be something they won't be clueless about!

For me:

"80% of women cannot orgasm from intercourse alone"

I had sex-ed through my church, and through my school that was in a small town full of many more churches than would fit the population, so:

Something along the lines of "Sex does not suddenly become a wonderful thing simply because you get married, and sex is not an evil, dirty, damning thing simply because you're not married."
And
"It's not just a woman's duty to keep from getting pregnant or caring for a child if she does"
And
"Taking birth control for any reason does not make you a slut."

Twisted little towns. Twisted Bible Belt.

Also, "Your body is not something to be ashamed of and not to blame for a man's 'loss of control'."

I agree with everything you say, especially the one about birth control!

Good points and I agree with every single one.
