- sex ed to start from age 5 - not to say show them a porn movie, but start introducing notions
- doesn't make kids have more sex
- makes them more likely to use condoms when they do
- by taking opportunities to address sexuality out of the public sphere it puts the onus on parents to guide their children's sex decision making
- often children aren't even thinking sex when we think they are thinking sex - Sexpo billboard - often our reactions put things in their minds
- SOLUTION FROM LISTENER: teach kids how to be parents before you teach them about sex
- the consequences of sex is not pregnancy it is pleasure, fear tactics don't work
- don't just talk to children about sex, talk about relationships, love, age-appropriate sex (underage sex could land you in jail), guidance about how loving should happen, HIV education
- no guilt tripping, no coercion
- if they do something 'wrong' sexually, work through it with them so that they know how to do it better, no punishment
- (! recognise that a mistake your kids make is a mistake you, the parent or adult, made)
"Here's a novel idea to save the planet: Remove the main cause of its woes - homo sapiens. The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement (VHEMT - pronounced "vehement") proposes the phasing out the human race. "When every human chooses to stop breeding, Earth's biosphere will be allowed to return to its former glory, and all remaining creatures will be free to live, die, and evolve (if they believe in evolution)," offers the movement's website. But 'it's going to take all of us going'." See www.vhemt.org SOURCE: Email invite. I thought I was the only one who thought like this. Everyone I know thanks the universe that I didn't study microbiology. I would have developed a human-specific killer virus. WE are the vermin.
