For teens, I think comprehensive sex ed is really important to help them maneuver the land mines of overwhelming drive that can cause some steep learning curves with self confidence and self respect, and help create a loving healthy attitude towards sex throughout their lifetime. It has been shown that countries that have a strong sex ed program for teens have lower unwanted pregnancies in the 13-19 year old age cell, and lower risks of STD transmission rates. I’m not a fan of the “don’t discuss it with teenagers and they won’t do it” model. Lets face it, when those hormones and testosterone levels are flying they need some solid real-life guidance to avoid stepping on a landline in their journey and I'm not sure promoting abstinence works. I also think that placing guilt and shame around sex causes life long issues that men and women have to sometimes overcome, which seems very sad to me.
As this post is on a board related to the companionship world, I’ll share some of my own personal experience, on this as well. I hear about women that have been good wives who love their husbands and had sex to have children and then don’t interact with their husbands much beyond that, on an adventurous intimate basis possibly because I don’t think they really enjoy sex? Or maybe they feel they aren’t supposed to enjoy sex? Or they might not know how to have the kind of sex that gives them an orgasm? There used to be a mindset of good girls don’t swing from the chandeliers in the bedroom and this has really been a disservice to women as a whole. They might not be having orgasms or even masturbating due to religious or social beliefs surrounding all of that. I think when a woman knows how her body works and what she needs to have an orgasm, she is going to make sure she is fully participating in the sexual process with her spouse/partner because she wants to please her partner but she also wants her own orgasm! If a woman is having sex once in awhile to do the minimum for her partner's needs then I am positive she isn’t having an orgasm. Women who orgasm want sex. They need it regularly. They want it irrespective of how busy they are or how self conscious they might be about their body. Clearly this industry exists because for the most part, wives/gf’s are not always comfortable trying new things in the bedroom and pushing erotic boundaries, or even fully enjoying the intimate excursion themselves.
I have to wonder what this subset of women were told when they were raised so that they don’t feel they own that part of themselves. What I’ve said is of course a generalization and doesn’t represent any one generation or religious background, but I hear the same thing over and over from clients. They love their wives, they are good mothers and partners but often just have no interest in sex. I sometimes get an image of women they go home to who might have been leading different satisfying lives with their husbands/BF’s, had they been given comprehensive, loving, and possibly less judgmental sex education at some point in their development.
Here is a funny clip that I think illustrates the message many people are given growing up about sex. Whatever you think of the French, they do seem to have very good sex lives at ALL ages and that can’t be a bad thing. It doesn’t hurt that depending on the study you read, they have a much lower teen pregnancy rate than many other developed countries.
