09 Feb People Reveal What They Really Wish They Learned In Sex Education

Most of us will receive our first “in-depth” education on sex in middle school and high school. Typically, sex ed school revolves around learning about STDs, protecting against pregnancy and how to correctly put on a condom (on a banana).

Unfortunately, in far too many schools, the information is very limited and one-dimensional. This is made worse by the fact that only 13 US states demand that sex ed be medically factual.

This often means that sex ed is taught in a very opinion-based manner whereby teachers tell the students that sex before marriage is wrong in every circumstance and that it will inevitably result in unwanted pregnancies and STDs.

Of course, this needs to change and hopefully, soon enough it will, but in the meantime, let these Reddit users tell you what they think we should have learned in sex ed. 

1. Using lube is 100% normal

“That there’s nothing wrong with needing lube. I mean sometimes us girls want to have sex but our vaginas aren’t totally cooperating in the lubrication department so they need a little extra help. Nothing to be embarrassed about. Lube usage should totally be taught.

Also, girls need to be taught that sometimes you don’t have an orgasm from penetrative sex and that’s totally normal. Porn films and fan fiction teaches us that the very second penis even grazes a vagina it’s orgasm city population you. Not really the case.”

2. It should never be seen as an alternative to condom usage

“Pullout game is a myth.”

3. Always make a postcoital trip to the bathroom

“For women and men: Go pee after sex. This is never taught and it’s so important. Overall it seems that there is not a 100% guarantee that this will prevent a UTI, however all studies agree that this is a good habit to have because even if you do not get a UTI, bacteria and what not do get up there and you should evacuate it. I believe the best way to look at this is better be safe then sorry.”
