Apparently the NHS funded this website/app that provides sex tips, advice, knowledge to young people. I'm reading and I feel like a 80year old playing Grand theft auto for the first time.

If this is the norm our kids are desensitised.

I wasn't aware that there was a limit on how many threads a person can create and respond to.

That, or maybe your just being needlessly obnoxious.

This is a pragmatic way of dealing with that. The campaign seems to be about having respect for yourself and others, not exposing them to explicit material. The fact is that most kids have access to the internet, and its not always coached by parents. So the stuff you're horrified to hear about they've no doubt come across themselves or have been told about it by other kids. Personally, I think this is a pretty good campaign. Its pragmatic, yes, but anything short of somehow banning kids from the internet is going to be.

I actually think it's rather a good site! Although I'm not sure that it isn't trying a bit too hard to be "down with the kids", for example;

Is it possible to get AIDs from jizzing in a someone’s eye and kicking them in the shin? (The angry pirate)
No you can’t catch HIV from performing an angry pirate! Whilst it is a superbly funny image it is not something you should necessarily try. It would be quite humiliating. Funny to laugh about but I wouldn’t try it or they might make you walk the plank!

A 13 year old will have grown up with the internet and probably knows their way around the better than you or me but has no desire to explore the murkier depths yet.
When the hormones start turning them into bundles of sex-crazed nutters, then they will naturally turn to the internet in an effort to learn more and up until this site came along they would have turned to porn. I think that it is better for a 13 year old to learn from a NHS site which tells the facts (no matter how unpalatable you or I might find them) than the unrealistic output from the San Fernando Valley, which they may think is normal as they don't know any better.

I was just (within the last hour) listening to Midweek on Radio 4 and there is an organisation going into schools teaching kids about porn. Telling them how unrealistic it is, what real people are like (women do have pubes, not every bloke is hung like a horse etc) and that making love is different from having sex.

In the age of the internet we can't be telling kids that babies are delivered by a stork or some other such rubbish, we have to be much more upfront and explicit as they have instant, free and constant access to some of the most depraved things that people do to each other.

A customer was telling me that a doctor friend of his had been off on a conference/jolly about fertility and there were a number of tales of young couples finding it difficult to conceive. Turned out they'd been edumacated by t'interweb and they didn't know that going for the money shot all over the outside of the lass severely reduces chances of conception.
Can they really be that stupid?

If they were, I wouldn't be disabusing them of the notion that that's the way to conceive...

I heard something similar but instead of the money shot it was using the tradesman's entrance.
Probably an urban myth, but possibly not.

Actually EKE you've touched on something very scary. Apparently the incidence of anal fissures amongst high school and college age girls in the USA is absolutely through the ceiling. The availability of internet porn to this generation (compared to my formative years, when a furtive copy of Razzle was as hot as it got) means that apparently regular sex is no longer regular, everyone wants anal all the time.

How did you find that out?!! As a matter of fact, don't tell me, I don't want to know.

I remember the days when magazines like Razzle used to airbrush out the, ahem, lady's anus. Back in the days when women had pubes.

Not sure about injuries (lube & patience people!) but allegedly the christian abstinence teengers go for UTBNB because "it doesn't count".

I don't do comics. But Danger Mouse is a class act.

The Rookie

Very interesting piece on Radio 5 last night, a 25 year old women was chatting to someone in the USA, in this case she was lesbian (not really relevant), the chat started to get steamy and then the women at the other end started stripping off and 'getting it on' so the women this end did the same, after 2 hours of this the person admitted that they were
a/ A man
b/ Recording it all for publication on the web
c/ the stripper was a previous girl he'd duped into doing it, the caller to R5 said he even seemed to revel in making her feel as big a dupe as possible.

So aything that educates kids to the dangers is all good in my book, the prudish approach hasn't stopped them banging like rabbits in 'less than ideal circumstances', so lets try the more open Dutch approach (one of the lowest teen preg rates in Europe).

Spot on.

I've actually heard such a thing of abstinence types, and have anecdotal evidence it's true.

No small number of years ago, meself and my wife (girlfriend at the time) went to a pub quiz with two lasses that had been moved into her student house by the landlord to make up rent. They were kinda new in town, and didn't seem to have much of in the way of social lives or anything, so we were trying to show them a bit of fun. One of the girls was a bit of a bible basher, so our options rapidly narrowed on nights out, the quiz being the only thing available she didn't actively hate.

All goes fine until the comedy last round, when the quizmaster tended to throw allsorts out. The last question is "What percentage of girls, in a survey by [something], admitted to engaging in a bit of back door action?"

Quick as you like, she's babbling "Oh, at least 80". The missus queries gently. "It's bound to be that high. Sure girls want to be virgins when they marry". The sentence trails off. The other three people at the table scramble to go to the bar next, go to the loo, anything to escape the silence and the wrongness and the temptation to laugh long and hard in her face.

Think the site's pretty good (apart from the appalling grammar: "willys" FFS?) but it does try a bit too hard.

Agree that actually with all the misinformation and borderline scary porn (depending on your viewpoint) available with basically no effort, I'm pleased that the NHS have built something so upfront, honest, and hopefully useful.

Doesn't scare or outrage me in the least. Well done the NHS.

Bille Porter did a bit on the joy of teen sex program on c4 about teen exposure to Internet porn and anal sex.

Back on topic I wish at 13 to 15 I had access to that site seems rather well done.
