    Puritans hate sex. They think of it as dirty. If they can vat-clone kids, they’ll do it. Parents should be open to talk about sex to their children. Insert your taboos and prohibitions if you must, but don’t hide the biological and medical truths about sex.

      Puritans hate

      I don’t agree, they just think it is designed for the primary purpose of procreation

      Parents should be open to talk

      I think the contrary view is that it isn’t necessary to discuss it until people get married, where they would be free to procreate; relations outside of marriage are wrong and vectors for spreading disease, mental illness, unplanned preganancy, etc.

    Yeah, but a lot of people’s first instinct is to ask chatgpt now.

    They probably ask advice for everything

      Yeah, perhaps, but it’s important to ensure children have access to the right information through appropriate channels

    When will polititians realize that sex education, finance education, home buying education etc. Is overall going to benefit the country as a whole?

    Abstinence is the best policy, they probably acquire unnecessary and harmful info there unfortunately a lot of times

      Right… Imagine telling teenagers not to be horny… Teenagers are going to be fucking around irrespective of anything anyone tells them. At least sex education can ensure that they’re being horny safely.
