Shitstorm ahoy! A leading British Sex Educator suggested that kids shouldn't be forced to kiss adult relatives, and that maybe a high five, or a firm handshake would suffice instead. Great Britain's Great Aunts are fucking livid. » 1/08/14 12:20pm 1/08/14 12:20pm

While America's elected officials have whiled their days away bickering about budgets, the prime minister of the U.K. has had his hands full—with a war on pornography. Unfortunately, some of the country's sex ed, porn addiction and domestic abuse resources are collateral damage. » 12/19/13 3:00pm 12/19/13 3:00pm

Last week, students at Richardson High School in Texas took to social media to voice their annoyance with Justin Lookadoo, a super right wing whackadoo sex ed lecturer whose deliberate anti-sex lies were almost as offensive as his as-styled-by-Guy Fieri's afterbirth hair. But Texans aren't the only people being messed… » 11/18/13 12:30pm 11/18/13 12:30pm

Seriously, dum-dums, how many times do we have to go over this? Condoms do not cause sexy intercourse any more than seat belts cause car accidents. Adding yet another voice to this "conversation," which has seemingly been raging since the invention of penises, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Committee on… » 10/28/13 8:30pm 10/28/13 8:30pm

An Indonesian education official proposed a brilliant idea that would eradicate teen sex-having forever: force female senior high school students to undergo "virginity tests" so that they're too embarrassed to have premarital sex or get into prostitution. Nobel prize for this guy! » 8/20/13 1:30pm 8/20/13 1:30pm

When I was a teenager, which I like to think was not that long ago, there were no one-on-one co-ed sleepovers, although I do remember a whole lot of drama over a handy given at a New Year's Eve slumber party while everyone else was sleeping. (Not by me.) Nobody even thought to ask. (Not that I was hanging out with,… » 8/10/13 1:04pm 8/10/13 1:04pm

It's certainly not The Joy of Sex, but Aristotle's Complete Master-Piece, published in 1766, has been credited as the first sex guide to be published in America. A read of some excerpts certainly fills one with the feeling that despite the sad state of affairs that is sexual education in the United States right now, at … » 8/09/13 4:50pm 8/09/13 4:50pm

Whenever people talk about how their parents explained to them how babies were born, there's always a multitude of ridiculous stories. Some got updated lessons every year, which increased in detail as they aged, as it became "more appropriate" but also "more awkward" to do so (me). Others just came home from school and… » 6/12/13 6:00pm 6/12/13 6:00pm

While many of America's classrooms remain criminally regressive when it comes to their sexual education policies, today Illinois has helped put a kibosh on some of that bullshit by stepping slightly into the 21st Century. » 5/22/13 11:03pm 5/22/13 11:03pm

Germans are notoriously comfortable with sex and nudity. Go to any beach around the world and there's a 93.2% chance that the first grandpa to take his speedo off is German. So when a bunch of parents in Berlin got uppity about a sex-ed book, it definitely means something. » 4/26/13 2:10pm 4/26/13 2:10pm

Most Americans lack access to affordable health care and believe abortion should be legal, but that hasn't stopped some uber-chic fashionistas from daring to break the rules! We've hand-picked five key ways you can wear the most essential anti-choice trends from the runways — er, courtrooms and Senate floors. Let's get … » 4/17/13 2:40pm 4/17/13 2:40pm

If the Catholic Church was your landlord, it almost definitely wouldn't let you masturbate in your apartment. You'd have to sneak away to a public park, like some sort of deviant. The Catholic Church, in other words, would make a pretty overbearing landlord, something that is being proved right now in New York, where… » 4/07/13 4:30pm 4/07/13 4:30pm
