Comment on How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ?
FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoWe may have been taught abstinence and shame, but, that didn’t stop us from having sex.
What it did do was make us stupid and have unprotected sex, which lead to all sorts of harm, simply because we didn’t know better.

I mean, kinda does. The grand majority of people are largely unfamiliar and uncomfortable with sex or sex-adjacent play as a casual thing.

You’re sure about that?

Your link doesn’t address my assertion?
Better sex ed reduces teen births. I’m not refuting that or even referring to that.

Sorry. Wrong pub med out of the hundreds of studies on what kind of sex ed works. Here. Have some more.

I’m not sure how you can do any kind of search on this and conclude that abstinence-only sex ed works. It doesn’t. We know that.
We know that kids are going to fuck. The only real difference is if they’re comfortable telling adults when something goes wrong; and also know if something is going wrong.
Shame and guilt doesn’t stop behavior- it causes people to hide it.
