Sex ed should start as soon as kids can talk

lmfao

Don’t know what’s so funny about that. Teaching your toddler that not everyone can touch their genitals is sex ed, and should absolutely be done as soon as they can understand it…

Ok, in that case I totally agree. But going into detail about actual sex doesn't seem like a great idea that early.

There's more than one specific topic covered in sex ed.

We teach math to children, but nobody is suggesting that you need to get your toddler into differential equations.

Only because you think sex is dirty, because you were stigmatized against talking about it at that age.

[–] Xer0@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 months ago

Of course I don't think that, it's one of the most natural fucking things in the world. I just think for young children, especially ones who just learned how to talk, there's things they definitely DON'T need to know yet.

Who said this is what sex ed is about?
