Why one and not the other?

We should do that too. But there's a reason we offer sex ed in most schools, and a lot of those reasons apply here.

I'm also an atheist who went to Catholic HS and I don't remember getting anything like that.

None of that at my Catholic high school.

Yeah, I know, hence pipe dream. (Although less than I thought, since a bunch of people say they got something like this.)

That's awesome! I wish my high school had invited something like that, but they were too Catholic.

A tragic amount of people never see raped framed as "here is a thing rapists do" so much as "here is a thing that happens to women sometimes, especially when they drink or dress slutty."

Wow. I am impressed. I had a semester-long health class that covered nothing except basic human anatomy, don't do drugs, don't have sex, don't smoke. What a waste.

Oh god, yes. Even "comprehensive sex ed" is often anything but. There's often little to nothing about consent and NOTHING about pleasure.

Yeah, that's why it's a pipe dream. Although a surprising number of responses are people apparently got this stuff in school? I had an entire semester long health class that did not include any of these things, so I am impressed.

My personal pipe dream: schools have "relationship ed" as well as sex ed. Topics include:

It would be terrible, but I'd totally read it.

As a woman who has never ejaculated, bleeding on someone is my closest equivalent to coming all over someone's face. And the taboo makes it extra hot.

Yes to all of this. I said something similar upthread before I read your comment.

Some of my somewhat disjointed thoughts, as a lady who identified as a feminist since I knew what it meant and then stopped a few years ago without changing any of my actual politics:

In my opinion, bloody, bloody period sex is the only good part about having a period.

No matter how misogynistic Tina Fey gets, feminists will always defend her. Never been a fan of T Swift but good for her for speaking up.

There are lots of people who never cheat on their partners. And there are people I've known who I would definitely describe as passionate. I don't see how either of those descriptors are fake.

All the people in the comments talking about how their husbands/boyfriends/friends fit the list perfectly suggest otherwise.

Most of these are just decent human qualities. Who wants to date an impolite, unkind, inconsiderate person? She could have made the list a lot shorter by just putting "nice person."
