Description

I think that sexual education should be taught to kids a lot more than we appreciate and the casual taboo we put on sex is rather harmful. I think the right to have sex should be set completely clear between people including teenagers - I also think that the casual shame we as a society put on it is absolutely meaningless and stupid. I think no significant adult to a kid should ever hesitate to explain to the kids that having sex or masturbating is absolutely healthy and explain to them in detail how to use all kinds of protection. I also think that the right to have sex should be completely normalized, thus: Sex with just friends, 14-18 year old teenagers having consensual sex (between teenagers, obviously, as they are minors) with good protection, sex before marriage, etc.. I also think that a lot of people take sex way too irresponsibly therefore end up having unwanted birth which is most of the time not a good thing...

And I believe that the solution to all the problems sex causes is to teach kids from their young age to have responsible, consensual protected sex, instead of making sex a taboo and shaming on sex/masturbation. I believe the "they should never be having sex at the first place" rhetoric is not only wrong but also not working.

I don't believe that kids should be shown sex in graphic detail, obviously, but I believe that sexual education needs to be taught more than we appreciate.

I'd like to have a debate with someone who disagrees with some of the points I've written here and get to know more things about the matter.

The timing of that forfeiture means every point raised by con was dropped; therein, reducing the debate to a foregone conclusion.
