Should sex education include some lessons on technique?

Hopefully, parents teach their kids about conception, contraception and STDs. But what about sexual technique? Shouldn't parents also offer some guidance there, too?

    I hope you're proud of yourself because I read this question before going to bed last night and it gave me freaking nightmares!! Worse than anything Stephen King has EVER written about.

    Hell, just remembering the little sex talk that my mother gave me when I hit puberty gives me the heebie-jeebies. Oh, God, thank the Lord that I didn't believe half of what Mom told me or her interpretation of things and, instead, got my hands on some educational books or I might have become the world's oldest living virgin. Ugh!

    NO, that's just something you learn on your own. What kind of parent would teach their kids technique? Could you imagine teaching your own kid that? I have a 4 year old boy, and I'm sure he'll learn enough living life out there in the real world.....with school and all. That's where I learned that stuff and I turned out just fine. I would have been weirded out, having my parents tell me about that stuff. Technique is something you learn on your own, and that's the way it should be!

    Uh huh, like I really want to have THAT talk with my daughters! They can learn it through drunken frat party experience like I did. As long as they are smart enough to use protection. Too many kids today think it's cool to be teen/single parents. It's not cool, it's stupid. A kid needs a Mom AND a Dad! That's what is wrong with society today, too many kids who are catered to by single parents who want to be friends with their kids. The kid needs a parent not a friend.

    Okay, that's my rant for today. If they need technique instruction, maybe the school needs to provide it. I mean it IS a lesson that needs to be taught, and they could bring in experts. Not the frat boys...sex therapists.

    It couldn't hurt. Too many kids learn bad techniques from porn. Guys especially need some good advice so they don't manhandle a woman. The softer the hand, the better the lover.

    No, because it's embarassing for the child. When I was younger I learned through teachers and some of the magazines like dolly what would list things on how to be safe and on STD's. Since my mother never told me I just read up on everything to do with it.

    Interesting?

    Teenagers should have to learn it the way the rest of the preceding generations did. Trial and error. Dealing with these issues is all part of growing up.

    Not sure I could have standed this topic of conversation with my mother OR my father.

    That would definately be a good form of birth control. I don't think I'd feel comfortable having sex if I imagined my mom sucking a banana. Totally kills the mood.

    only if they know what theyre talking about. my guidance councellor in highschool senior year came to talk to the class, and pretty much was oblivious. he said that the g spot is a myth, and a girl is very lucky to have an orgasm at all, and most girls cant. what an ignorant jerk. (his poor wife)
