I insist that many of our social and political problems stem from too many people not being literate in human sexuality. Too many of our faulty notions of sexuality come from religious books and ancient and long-discredited social notions rather than from what we know actually is.

Competent and honest sex education is far too often challenged by religious entities, and this perpetuates our faulty knowledge. I further suggest that depriving children of education about their behaviour as sexual beings is akin to child abuse. We teach them about most other aspects of bodily health, and this should be no different. If parents are sexually illiterate, then it should be done by well-informed and comfortable teachers.

I further suggest that much or most of this illiteracy hurts women disproportionately.

I am certain that many false notions will turn up in this thread. And I will correct them as I see them.
