I’m now watching a documentary about Americans and sex, and I’m kinda shocked to know that it’s forbidden in Texas to show students what a condom is.

In France, you can have condoms everywhere: in shops, in drugstores, and there even are some condom dispensers in the streets like this > 

France is pro-sex ed. We think the more information children get, the better they’ll deal with their relationships and what it implies.

    I definitely think that preaching abstinence and using scare tactics is not working and schools need to teach safe sex...

    I wish I could think of something witty to say, but the fact is America is like in the Dark Ages with this… and...

  8. val-entine said: well, yeah, it’s like (in places very conservative like Texas) they try to pretend like sex doesn’t exist, and that even thinking about it is bad. I think more people do it because we’re not very well informed or educated… which sucks quite frankly

  14. onsereverra said: Ouais aux EU la plupart d’education sexuelle est ce qu’on appelle “abstinence-only”, qui veut dire que les jeunes sont appris que la seule méthode d’éviter les MSTs et la grossesse est de ne jamais avoir des relations sexuelles.
