  • This question is like "do you think arranged marriage is good"?

    Its a very subjective question, where there is no "trial-and-error" for any individuals to test the "goodness".

    Let me elaborate based on my arranged marriage question.

    Whoever marriage in that manner won't know our kind of dating.

    All they know is statistics. It appears that countries who have/had this culture has very low divorce rate. But does that mean there is no problem in the family? The answer is no. How much problem? We don't know.

    Likewise all of us in Westernised societies condemn arranged marriages. But statistics shown our societies have the highest divorce rate.

    So which is "better"? Can we depend on mere statistics? Or must other cultures be damned because we are not born there?

    Frankly speaking I don't know! No way I can answer this question without a form of bias. I know 2 arranged marriage couples now in their 80s. They literally live together "till death do us part". I also have a nephew who just got a divorce.

    Hence I don't know. But due to my upbringing, I choose to date.

    • Arranged marriage is just parents setting their son or daughter on a blind date and then its upto the two whose marriage is in question to decide whether they feel they're right for each other after spending enough time getting to know each other. Arranged marriage isn't a bad thing. Many people mistake it for forced marriage.

    • @nodnol32 maybe. More liberal parents my do as you wrote. But there are too many folklore that make me wonder how much was abused. Typical is the "Butterfly Lover" where a marriage was forced. Although its mere movie, the principle is subjected to abuse. And we have one case here, where a 70+ old man married a 12yo. The old man's testimony told of how he helped the family financially and the young girl said she loves him. Drama? Yes. Truth? 70+ old man who already have a few wives married a 12yo. What do you think? Arranged marriage or abused policy?

    • I was just telling you about arranged marriage in its truest form. Yes, loads have abused it. The people i know who were married due to it being arranged gave it a try and got to know their future spouse and then made a mutual decision that them two are right for marriage. The example you gave is definitely an abuse of the concept and forced and definitely gives arranged marriage a bad image.

  • In college I was part of a pillow talk forum where boys and girls were allowed to submit anonymous questions to the opposite sex that where then opened up to open discussion.

    I was the speaker who read the questions aloud and led the open discussion.

    It was extremely insightful. That open forum group on a university campus was very similar to this app.

    I think something similar could be done for younger teens say late high school possibly. And it could do a lot to educate people on the various complexities of sex.

    Because if you dont teach kids about safe, healthy sex, they will go out and figure it out on their own and potentially make big mistakes.

    Prevent the mistakes. Preventing kids from having sex is impossible. Preventing the mistakes is possible with just a little bit of education.

  • i think it would help a lot.

    my mom NEVER talked to be about sex.

    My step dad did it in a loving, caring way, AND did not embarrass me or himself

    AND to me, the adult can observe signs that the kids is ready to talk about sex; women notice when a boy gets a boner a lot, and is constantly staring at girls, and if it is mom, she sees the stained sheets and underwear in the laundry.

    Men notice a girl getting a figure, a girl getting crushes, the Looking Away when a boy talks to her, AND most girls are braver than boys, and will Ask about sex when they are ready to talk about it,.

    • Your stepdad was cool

    • @Gwenhwyfar he was.. haven't seen him since I was 15yo... sad.. i know he remarried and has a new family.

  • yes, and in a perfect world. hot female teachers would give physical demonstrations on the male students how sex is done, boy i would go to school everyday then :D
    tht would have really made sex ed class worthwhile lol

    RIGHT STUDENTS, WHO WANTS TO GIVE A PHYSICAL DEMONSTRAION HOW TO F MY PUSSY?
    id be like me me me me me and raise my hand every time lol

    • But what about girls learning from older guys?

    • that would be fucking hot too. i know that would never happen due to the tabboo and societys strict rules, im jus dreaming lol

    • @JessieBellll Would you have wanted a practical/ physical demonstration from an male teacher when you were in school?

  • In school, our sex-ed was taught by our Phys-ed teachers. One woman, one man. One would teach us one day, the other the next. I really had no impression that their gender made it any different. It was all about ovaries and fallopian tubes to me, and the fact the information came out of a female mouth or a male mouth made no difference. Sex-ed is not sexy. It's information, and it's actually very technical. In fact, it's so unsexy that some of the things I learned made me not want to have sex for a long time. If it means anything, the guys' Phys-ed teacher was more stern, talking about STDs and how important it was to know about safe sex. The girls' Phys-ed teacher focused a lot on preventing pregnancies. Both of them were very helpful.

  • I want to say that it should not matter as long as both are equally trained and qualified to teach the subject. However, I must say no. There are too many things that need to be discussed that would be awkward, embarrassing and difficult for someone to confide in the opposite gender with. I would find it more probable that certain specific aspects of the class be taught by the opposite gender as needed.

  • I think both... to have a real discussion and have both perspectives,

  • Definitely. I was surprised how much I didn't really know about what happens when pregnant.

  • Teens should learn sex Ed from their parents.

  • mine was by a man who kept looking down our shirts, so i think he was the one getting sex education

    Do you think teens should learn sex education from the opposite gender?

  • I think that most guys, that are 'open-minded' and 'THINKING' want to learn anything they can from women, and how they love to be loved!!
    I dated a few women, more than 10, even 15 years older than me, in college, because they loved the 'reset' speed, and she loved that, as a young guy, I was ready again, to give her some new JOY!!
    They taught me SOOOOO much, about how to love women, and how to talk, and treat women!

  • Not sure if that would go over well in the school atmosphere, but I definitely think it would be better for guys to discuss it with girls who are friends. There is so much I wish I could have learned at an early stage that would have been helpful over the years.

  • If he has been older enough to have sex Then he is old enough to take precautions It would be good if were listened to and copied in to their lives called Roast

  • I think if the teacher is qualified then it don't matter.

  • It doesn't matter who is teaching if teens are told the truth instead of some abstinence-only miseducation. Countries with comprehensive sex education have far lower rates of teenage pregnancy and StDs than the US. States in the US with comprehensive sex education have far lower rates of teenage pregnancy than states that teach only abstinence.

    • It's better if they learn physically

  • This is a really good question. I think I would have to say that's probably a good idea.

  • Yes but under a really good and rigorous test for being a teacher in these case.

  • Sounds like a good idea. In my school we never had sex education in any form

  • I think it should be separated NOT due to the inability to teach but the students comfortability with their same gender. Then once they learn about their own body switch classes and learn the opposite sex. certainly classes later in high school could be mixed

  • I don't know I wouldn't trust a teen but I'd definitely agree with the idea that it's better to start when they are children. Having "the talk" can be quiet a bonding experience if done right.

  • I think educated men can teach just as effectively. I believe I could.

  • What about gay teens?

  • I was taught sex ed in 5th grade by a male. The classes were separated and women learned about their cycles and boys learned about hygiene.
    When I got into High School we had 1 teacher for both male and female students. I was taught how to be safe and how to avoid STD's. What a child costs to raise, etc.

  • Sure. They’re teachers. All they do is teach a curriculum. And I defo think sex Ed should be coed.
