Sex Education

What is wrong with teaching a child sex education? There was a big brouhaha over some bill Senator Obama signed and/or supported that included sex education for children, particularly against sexual predators. For the record, I am for sex education for children and adults. I think sex education should be taught in elementary school, high school, college, and to adults in their 50's and 60's. The education for the 50's and 60's is necessary in order to deal with the effects of menopause, erectile dysfunction from disease or condition, and anorgasmia. I just like the word anorgasmia, not the symptoms.

Monday, I attended Freedom Files showings of two ACLU produced movies on Women's Rights and Sex Education, respectively. I love the Sex Education movie. It chronicled two locales Brevard County Florida and Pittsburgh, PA. In both places, abstinence-only education was being taught. I love, facetiously, abstinence-only education. The age range to be addressed by abstinence-only is now ages twelve through twenty-nine. Since abstinence-only does not cover the safest sex of all, there would presumably be some really pent up twenty-nine year-olds. While I recognize that learning about sex in a committed relationship can be very fun, it cannot hurt to have some prior book learning. I had to go to class for driver's education so why not for sex education. According to the abstinence-only proponents, sex should only be in the heterosexual marriages. No sex for widows, widowers, homosexuals, divorced folks, and the avowed bachelors and bachelorettes. Oh well, let them eat cake. I for one feel that eating decadent desserts and/or chocolate is the next best thing if sex is 'off the table'. This is going off the rails. I will get back to my point.

If reading about or studying something in class created a desire and ability to execute a certain action then I would be a mathematician, mechanical and electrical engineer, Perl and C++ programmer, bisexual swinger, polyamorist superhero with a doctorate in Psycholinguistics and a specialization in computational linguistics. I am none of those things, although super powers would be cool. So, either I am a terrible student (possible) or the idea of reading about something makes people want to do it is totally false.

I like the Green Lantern. With his power ring and his mind, he could fly or conjure up anything that would help in fighting evil. On top of that, there was a whole club of Green Lanterns called the Green Lantern corps. The corps was comprised of women, men, bouncy ball life forms, white people, black people, green people, presumably not yellow people since Sinestro's ring has a yellow energy that adversely affects a Green Lantern. If you do not know what I am talking about as far as Sinestro, then you probably had dates in junior high and high school. Telekinesis would be cool particularly if I have extreme telekinesis that could manifest itself as teleportation. The down side would be that normal humans would get freaked out and then I would be an outcast and possibly burned at the stake. Sorry off the rails again.

Done.
