Letting teens know that women usually achieve orgasm through the rubbing of the clitoris, whether fingers, mouth, object, or penis, isn’t the same as screening an instructional video on giving good cunnilingus. It’s not the same as writing down the names of sex-toy shops on the blackboard, or handing out diagrams of cool and exciting coital positions. And teaching that lubricants reduce pain and increase safety and pleasure during many kinds of sex should be thought of not as performance advice, but on par with vital lessons about condom use.</p> <p>Real sex education is not the same as porn education. Instead, it’s about teaching that pleasure is an important part of any sexual relationship. It’s about teaching that there is nothing wrong with wanting to feel sexual pleasure and seeking it out, so long as it is done safely and responsibly. It’s about teaching comfort with one’s body and a lack of shame over desires, and there is more to sex for all people than sticking penises into vaginas. Real sex education teaches how to go about making intelligent , safe choices, rather than just stating the choices available. I believe there is a big difference. And I believe that teaching teens to make smart choices about sex must involve teaching them that having sex, partnered or alone, can be a smart choice”.</p>”<br/><br/> - <em><blockquote> <p>Real Sex Education by Cara Kulwicki in <em>Yes Means Yes</em></p> </blockquote> <p>(via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://fem-blog.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">fem-blog</a>)</p></em>http://yesmeansyes.tumblr.com/post/23779285893http://yesmeansyes.tumblr.com/post/23779285893Sat, 26 May 2012 00:39:15 -0400sex educationsafe sexcomprehensive sex educationyes means yes<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m21pfyZsDx1qiim84o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://yesmeansyes.tumblr.com/post/23779260435http://yesmeansyes.tumblr.com/post/23779260435Sat, 26 May 2012 00:38:46 -0400words that mean somethingcontinentribcagehipthighbodiesnudepoetryfavoritesintimate<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltdvky2ROX1qepf8yo1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltdvky2ROX1qepf8yo3_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltdvky2ROX1qepf8yo8_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltdvky2ROX1qepf8yo4_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltdvky2ROX1qepf8yo2_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltdvky2ROX1qepf8yo7_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltdvky2ROX1qepf8yo5_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltdvky2ROX1qepf8yo6_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltdvky2ROX1qepf8yo9_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><blockquote> <p><small>This is an Agent Phil Coulson appreciation post.</small></p> </blockquote>http://yesmeansyes.tumblr.com/post/23779235592http://yesmeansyes.tumblr.com/post/23779235592Sat, 26 May 2012 00:38:16 -0400avengersmoviesagentgifphil coulsonironman<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4dlv1toss1rpyqfeo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://yesmeansyes.tumblr.com/post/23719136614http://yesmeansyes.tumblr.com/post/23719136614Fri, 25 May 2012 00:56:10 -0400fireflamesmatchesgifburn<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4k1962WJZ1qgeyn1o1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4k1962WJZ1qgeyn1o2_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4k1962WJZ1qgeyn1o3_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4k1962WJZ1qgeyn1o4_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4k1962WJZ1qgeyn1o5_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4k1962WJZ1qgeyn1o6_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4k1962WJZ1qgeyn1o7_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4k1962WJZ1qgeyn1o8_250.gif"/><br/> <br/>http://yesmeansyes.tumblr.com/post/23718892966http://yesmeansyes.tumblr.com/post/23718892966Fri, 25 May 2012 00:50:15 -0400thormoviesgifhumorcoffee<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4ar14tqye1rtne4jo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4ar14tqye1rtne4jo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/>http://yesmeansyes.tumblr.com/post/23718883636http://yesmeansyes.tumblr.com/post/23718883636Fri, 25 May 2012 00:50:01 -0400humoryesfavoriteschildhooddisneybeauty and the beast<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1bmeutvE61qgkoejo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://yesmeansyes.tumblr.com/post/23693930253http://yesmeansyes.tumblr.com/post/23693930253Thu, 24 May 2012 18:10:40 -0400anchorfavorites<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4iljk4v5V1qcqoybo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://gaywrites.org/post/23682577185/religion-youre-doing-it-right" target="_blank">gaywrites</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Religion: you’re doing it right. </p> </blockquote>http://yesmeansyes.tumblr.com/post/23693913585http://yesmeansyes.tumblr.com/post/23693913585Thu, 24 May 2012 18:10:24 -0400christianityreligion<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4jrmcsOk41qa8xlio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://softerworld.tumblr.com/post/23693017525/a-softer-world-818-or-anyway-i-might-get" target="_blank">softerworld</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://asofterworld.com/index.php?id=818" target="_blank">A Softer World: 818</a></p> <p>(Or anyway I might get arrested)</p> </blockquote>http://yesmeansyes.tumblr.com/post/23693895327http://yesmeansyes.tumblr.com/post/23693895327Thu, 24 May 2012 18:10:07 -0400fraolpoetry<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4ha8nhxMa1qzwaddo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://yesmeansyes.tumblr.com/post/23693869386http://yesmeansyes.tumblr.com/post/23693869386Thu, 24 May 2012 18:09:43 -0400favoritesto remembervintageglamour
