It's funny when cons have to try to spin sexual education as "sexually explicit" to hide the fact they most likely don't have any sexual IQ.

Before getting into this I want to copy an excerpt from this site that cons are complaining aboutjust to give one an idea of how much they have to twist stuff:
The site that cons are currently complaining about (TeenHealthSource) also teaches about teen pregnancy, mental health barriers, pregnancy, relationships, STIs.
Regardless of this, let me tell you the kind of relationship most of these "types" of parents have with each other. These men and women likely married young due to culture. The reason why cons see sexual education in any realistic way as "sexually explicit" is because they married young. In the 1940s through the 1980s at least, it's common practice to marry when you're young. This was the traditional family framework for security, for money, for class, for survival or simply because their families made them. Still, today in many countries and many rural religious areas, marrying young and teen pregnancy is common.
My aunt told me that in the 1970s, one of her friends had to hide her pregnancy because it was illegal for a woman to work who was married, some states could freely discriminate against married working women. They ended the law in the late half of the 1970s to allow married women to work.
So what I'm getting at is that there's a whole bunch of parents who, due to marrying young, simply can't explain to their kids about consent, teen pregnancy, staying safe, different sexual practices, consent and how to ask for consent, abortion and many other things.
This is simply because of a lack of sexual education to begin with combined with religious beliefs. Religious and political beliefs which can be nice to have for support group and networking purposes, parents can't in any realistic way give their kids any neutral viewpoint towards human social issues.
How would a Christian parent who married when they were 16 possibly explain things in any realistic way having no experience in human sexuality? There's certain things they can teach them but I think parents should just accept that they don't know everything there is to know.

It seems like there’s a (slowly) growing awareness for asexuality, but that doesn’t feel like how it is for people with other reasons for not wanting to have sex. What could teens do to try and fight that stigma?

Rea: Great question. To those reading this who have experienced that stigma: there are going to be people who look down on you for your choices around sex and for asserting your sexual boundaries. They’ll express judgement, confusion, disappointment, or even get pushy. I’m talking about classmates, friends, and especially sexual partners. Even the most “woke” / feminist perceived people may surprise you with their politics and opinions on sex. But understand this – that is not your problem, that is their problem. And there is nothing wrong with you, but there is something very wrong with the way cultural values, cisheteropatriarchy, amatanormativity, and ableism have set narrowly defined expectations and normalcies of sex. Twisted normalcies which go widely unquestioned. Some of these common beliefs include: non-penetrative sex isn’t real sex, most people have their first kiss by age 18 otherwise you’re a ‘late bloomer’, most people have sex by at least the 3rd – 4th date otherwise you’re a prude, people who haven’t had sex are more innocent, abstaining until marriage is unrealistic and only overly religious weird people do it. All of this is bullshit.
So don’t be embarrassed because you’ve never been kissed or because people label you a ‘virgin’. Don’t feel guilty because a sexual partner wanted to go further, and you said no. Virginity is a false construct that holds no weight. It’s used to shame people for having had sex or for not having sex. There’s no such thing as a ‘virgin’ because there is nothing fundamentally different about you after having had sex. Reject these false constructs and false ideas. Let people know you don’t vibe with that. Tell people about the prude pride movement. When you hear people use prude or virgin as insults, take this knowledge and educate them (if you have the capacity to say something). And even when you can’t say anything, hold strong in the truth you carry about the world and about yourself.
