I just have vauge memories from when I was a kid of lots of blue liquids being poured on pads, countless iterations of the same thing happening over and over again, pads withing pads, graduated cylinders within graduated cylinders, forever sprialling inwards yet echoing out from the accursed picture box. I can't recall the specifics of whether they were for incontinence or menstruation.

Scouring my early memories I actually think I might have gotten them crosswired with the kitchen roll adverts that also sold you things for absorbing the large amount of blue liquid that litters the floor of homes everywhere. Was there some kind of blue goop alien invasion at some point that was covered up and that's why so many products exist to erase blue liquid from existence?

Yeah, true, it's not like nappy ads don't use the Mysterious Blue Liquid™ as well.

Guavanaut posted:Girls do piss blue liquid out of their buttholes, but only after WKD was invented.  Also, it's a scientific fact that girls do not poo. Judging from the comments over the last couple of pages, I mean, I considered what I was taught for sex-ed very inadequate (late 90s/early 2000s), and certainly didn't cover anything outside of the physical act of reproductive heteronormative sex, and changes during puberty...but some of you sound like you were taught by a drunk forest mystic on half-remembered Aristotelian biology.

I genuinely can't remember much of my PSE teaching (which was what they called it for us) but the only thing I remember clearly is a worksheet with some images of various contraceptive methods on them and brief descriptions of how they were used. I think it was sort of assumed that we all knew what bit went where.

I remember as a 10 year old understanding from tampax adverts in Jackie magazine etc that only SOME girls got periods and that those that did had them non-stop all the time and could never swim or rollerskate. I remember hoping and praying I wouldn't be one of those girls.

That's not bad, it's sensible. It's just also an argument for funding hostels in nowheresville not shutting them down in Oxford, is all. 'People should be prepared to move to find work/housing' *Homeless people & immigrants do just that* 'Wait no I meant to places I don't have to look at them'

I struggle to distinguish what I learnt from the Internet, what I was taught in school and what was in this book about puberty my mum gave me around 10/11. The Internet has definetly been the most informative of the three thought.

I think it was sort of assumed that we all knew what bit went where. I remember being shown an ancient video tape with a family of nudists playing volleyball - this thing was loving ancient; pubic afros everywhere - and some very unclear animations of loving. Topped off with that clinical creepy disembodied voice that Serafinowicz would later parody in Look Around You. Actually, now I think of it, contraception was covered pretty well; the teacher bought in a hollow plastic cock, (with us tittering obviously) demonstrated proper condom usage and such, and talking about the twenty billion forms of female contraception, and the general effectivess (or lack thereof). The problem was the lack of discussion of anything other than repoductive sex - and even that was mostly the entirely mechanical actions of it.

I went to a boys school in the eighties and sex education was two one-hour lessons, the first of which was taken by the infamously despotic Deputy Head presumably because everyone else insisted on being armed before teaching a bunch of rowdy at best 13-year-old boys and was pretty much "Always use a condom, STDs and pregnancy can happen from up to a mile away". I'll never forget the way he did the condom demonstration on a bit of wood that looked suspiciously like a truncheon while somehow managing to maintain eye contact with every single boy in the class, daring them to so much as giggle. The second lesson was taken by the young, impossibly attractive[1] Australian supply teacher who started the lesson by drawing all the appropriate parts on the blackboard in startling detail, and within 20 minutes was talking about it was fine to go vaginal-to-anal but you shouldn't go in the other direction. I think several boys died during the lesson, possibly including me. [1] I mean to be honest, in that febrile atmosphere, any woman with less than three noses rated a 9, but she looked exactly like Bronwyn from Neighbours. Apparently she went on to teach at an all-girls school, possibly at the insistence of Thames Water who couldn't cope with the demand for cold showers from that corner of Stepney.

These days I'd far rather see kids get a very firm afternoon of teaching about consent than any amount of teaching about the physical acts of loving, because that's the thing they're not going to get anywhere else that they will desperately, desperately need.

We did cover consent and the social side, but it was all done through the after-school special lens of predatory boys and virginal girls in environments that nobody should be having sex in. Drugs education was far better, but only because our form tutor happened to be the head of chemistry and deviated heavily from the "they're all bad and will kill you" framework. There were structural drawings. Nothingtoseehere posted:The Internet has definetly been the most informative of the three thought.

I honestly don't think I got any sex-ed. I don't remember anything. I went to a catholic school in the mid 90s - but it was a large comprehensive Scottish catholic school, so it should still have covered it I think...

Growing up in Ireland in the 80s/90s, I'm glad I didn't get any "sex education", i.e. the one anti-abortion video full of gore and lies that everyone my age and slightly older seemed to be forced to watch. Other than that, we just had the filthy German channel that occasionally unscrambled long enough to figure out what was going on

All I remember from sex ed (at a boys' school) is that you should you should only shove soft objects like fruit & veg up your arse, in case it gets stuck Idk why it's somehow preferable to go to hospital with a carrot up there, but I threw out all my flared-based dildos just to be safe E: alternative joke: up til then I'd been eating them, like some kind of sick freak

Why the hell aren't people rioting and killing themselves in sheer panic by this juncture? Are people that delusional that "this will be fine"? Geez. This whole situation is fascinating to me because this is exactly how climate change will be handled: people will just ignore it and someone else will take the opportunity to seize power and make the situation 1000x worse and ensuring we die screaming instead of in peace.
