we had a nun who was a nurse or sth and she went on and on about STDs

@kaia just buy big condoms

@kaia on and on (positive, informatativr) or on and on, (this is gods punishment for sex before marriage etc

@kaia In my sophomore sex ed class we put condoms on very medical looking dildos :|

@kaia We didn't had a dedicated sex ed class here, it was just a section of biology in second year of secondary school (13-14 year olds)
Covered contraceptives, basic injuries, stds, pregnancy

@nerthos @kaia all I remember was abortion,stds and safe sex. Consent and sexuality was off the table

@Ree @kaia Abortion and gay shit weren't really a topic when I was 13, and "you'll be having sex because you want to" was implied.

@nerthos @kaia I was in highschool when I had sex Ed. We learned about our bodies at 13. And being told we have to use deodorant

@Ree @kaia @nerthos No wonder you people are such a mess, you're supposed to be forced to look at diseased genitals and told never to have sex.

@Zettour @kaia @nerthos I seen lot of that stuff in porn.

@kaia our school was incredibly progressive by russian standards, which at the time didn’t feature any sex ed at all in the curriculum (and now it’s “go make more babies for the war”). our civil defense teacher moved around lesson time usually dedicated to anti gang propaganda to spend a few lessons talking about consent, stds, and contraception. apparently a few parents complained (“don’t parent my kid, we can do sex ed on our own”) and he didn’t get to finish the program he had planned. either way, it was too little, too late. i was 16 at the time and had already been having sex (16 is the age of consent in russia, but i started earlier). for context, im 23 now. this wasn’t the soviet era or anything, sex ed was and still is just not a concept in the russian education system, despite russia having one of the highest std rates per capita in the world

@kaia a little off topic, but this kind of goes into the unusual social dynamic at my school. you had to score high enough marks to get in, and despite it being a government school, the headmaster had A LOT of leeway, so he could afford to hire teachers who didn’t just blindly follow the government mandated lesson plan and actually taught their subject properly. due to this, a lot of parents who weren’t completely brainwashed by the government (my parents included) clamored to get their kids in. i was born and raised in the west, but that school was the only possible social elevator for a lot of families, so the competition was fierce.

but there was a small overlap between parents who wanted their kids to do well and parents who still blindly believed the government propaganda. this led to a vocal minority of parents complaining about, eg, how we used old textbooks during geography lessons that didn’t depict crimea as russian, or history books that didn’t omit certain historical events deemed inconvenient by the government.

as such, our headmaster lived a double life. for some parents, he’d have to make up convenient sounding excuses (“we can’t use the new books, we have a mandate to use the old ones”). for others, he’d tell the truth (“do you really want your child to be a jingoist?”). he aged like obama, he had balding grey hair after 10 years at the job. he looks so old now, i cannot imagine how much more horrible the job has gotten during wartime. but god bless his soul, because he shielded many generations of kids from losing their souls. if i can go back to russia, the only person outside of my family id go see first would be him, to thank him for his herculean effort

@kaia The only time I had to do summer school was voluntarily doing sex ed during the summer so I didn't have to do it during the school year. I'd walk to school mid-morning, the teacher would talk about the std of the day, I'd shoot the shit with my D-Average homeboys over my school provided ham sandwich, and then walked home around noon. Good times.

@kaia The teacher made us practice putting on condoms on a broom stick.

@SuperDicq @kaia with your hands or mouth?

@EdBoatConnoisseur @kaia You’re not supposed to do that with your mouth.

@kaia Later teachers had an actual dildo to practice on though.

@kaia biology teacher started the lecture in 6th grade "Since some of you are gonna be sexually active soon, even if you don't know it yet, i guess it's time to prepare you for it"

@kaia we had mandatory sex ed in 10th grade and I misunderstood an assignment where you had to show you knew how an egg got fertilized. I basically made a pornographic flip book of someone cumming in a vagina and the sperm traveling along and yeahhhh.
everyone else drew a diagram??

when I handed it in she confiscated it.

@kaia

@EdBoatConnoisseur @SuperDicq @kaia Butthole.

@SuperDicq @kaia how else is the penis gotta know it is safe if the condom isn't put on by a warm eager mouth?
