[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]…..Kansas can very reasonably be included in the Bible Belt. For the sake of the sex ed discussion. (I’m younger than Jen but went to public school in Kansas City MO and it wasn’t all that great for me either. More puberty stuff, perhaps, but I don’t think consent or contraception or pleasure were discussed meaningfully at all.)[/quote]

Pleasure and consent were not touched on at all in my sex Ed in 1984 rural IL.(real similar to small town Kansas) I was a junior in college before I had date rape really explained to me in a class. [/quote]

I am sooooooo confused by all of these comments…… You were literally never told that you didn’t have to have sex if you didn’t want to?! Your teacher was just like, “If you’re on a date, and the boy says he’s ready, you MUST give it to him!”??? And also, pleasure wasn’t discussed? You never knew it was supposed to FEEL GOOD??? Why did you think people had sex all the time? Or do you mean - they didn’t teach you technique????

Admittedly, I haven’t listened to Jen’s podcast. But all of these comments are so weird. What do you think your high school health teacher SHOULD HAVE told you? [/quote]

Honestly, your comment is the weird one. You think teens are out there having sex because teachers and parents told them it would feel good?! Lol! Biology drives us, no mater what cockamamie story we hear in health class or a church pew. Abstinence only sex ed isn’t effective, but that doesn’t mean it’s not still happening in red states. My public school sex ed included analogies that compared girls who had multiple partners to a used toothbrush and a rose that lost a petal with each new partner. At home and in church, sex was not mentioned. Abstaining from sex until marriage was the focus. Sure, there might be some line about how wonderful it is within the confines of marriage, but the conversation centered around not having sex. And the sex and marriage conversations centered around the wife saving and giving her body to her husband. A popular book when I was in high school was “I Kissed Dating Goodbye.” Josh Harris (who deserves his own thread here) became a Christian celebrity for advocating that people wait to even kiss before their wedding day! Acting like purity culture isn’t a thing and that you are, “sooooooo confused” by these posts is very gaslight-y.

FWIW, Jen’s remaining fan base obviously isn’t that interested in hearing her talk about sex. The post about the Jay Stringer sexual shame podcast has 12 comments. [/quote]
