Sexual Revolution without Sex Education: Solutions?

So Anonymus inboxed me and was like "OK, Sexspeare umewhine ya kutosha. . .now what the hell do we do bout this so-called paradox that you have wasted tons of man-hours yapping about?" Well, to have a feasible sex education system up and running, I can only think up two angles

• A deliberate, separate, candid regime that leaves no stone unturned


• Putting in place certification of some sort on sex education

As regards the first angle, no doubt sex education should be a subject of its own taught throughout different stages of education. Here's what could be called a skeleton course outline:


What is Reproduction/Sex?

SEX EDUCATION-101 COURSE OUTLINE
INTERMEDIATE
a) Definitions, perceptions
b) Variations: Kawa, oral, anal, fellatio, cunnilingus etc etc.

OK, the only obstacle here is to establish at what stage to teach kids the above. . .you know, balance between the threat of knowing too much versus the risk of kids sexperimenting
ADVANCED
This, of course, is for the more grown up student
a) Positions: Definitions. Pros and cons.
b) Tantric sex : I be hearing this tantra word too much nowdays
c) G-spot politics: Statement, critique with a discussive sub unit, Does It Exsist?
d) Other erogenous zones, how to utilize them
e) Financial dynamics. Suggested reading. 'Cost of P*ssy', Anon

2.Gender Issues
a)Conceptions of gender roles and how this affects sex/sexuality
b)What men, women really want-discussive

3.Societal Issues
a) Contraception : Definition, critique of every concievable method

b) STDs, STIs
c) Homesexuality, Lesbianism- discussive

4.Literary Discourse
Some sort of suggested reading and critique.My examples:

a)'Freud: A feminist introduction' , Jacques Lacan. Interesting theories on the psychology of sex
b)'Prisoner of Sex', Norman Mailer'. Mailer rips open feminism and othes aspects of sex quite skilfully, mixing fact and fiction.
c)'Bound to Violence', Yambo Ouloguem. Historical fiction on the extreme end of things. Suggest to advanced students only.
d)''Man of the People', Chinua Achebe. Need i say more?

5.Legal Issues
Targets mainly kids and women who usually have no clue on legal actions to take after sexual harassment, violation etc. Reccomended reading of relevant sections of the Penal Code and the Sexual Offences Act ( http://www.thesexualoffencesact.com)

Sexual Certification
The argument is that; you know the way in the ICT sector theres a standard and protocol for everything, sijui A+, C++, ICDL? So why cant we have an official standard/certification for sexual education that should be a reruirment for such things as admission to university and marriage? Thus one will be compelled to prepare for and pass some examination of sorts that should be FULLY government funded. Result: a more educated universtiy crowds and stabler, more satisfied marriages.

Kudos to kenyan media especially Capital and Classic of late for trying to address these issues.Maybe a lobby group should come up to compel the Ministry of Education to move.For now, lets wallow in ignorance.Yay!

As a pal of myn says, Nirvana is 40 orgasm years away. . .

Sexual Revolution without Sex Education - Formal Regimes

Here is what the current educational system of brainwash is ready to offer as a formal sex education regime which some very very old individuals, whose last memory of getting it up was when the Union Jack was going down, say is already "too immoral".

I must admit am a lazy ass. . . Research has never exactly been my thing except in situations where i have to look for fresh supplies of my daily dose of Blue Magic when my regular dope boy has been sniffed out by the K9s hehe lakini i did my snooping around with my CSI:Home Library team.That is why i shall for example be subjective and ignore IGCSE and other minor spheres of discussion such as Home Science, SEE etc. . .my bad.

Sexual education in school takes the form of innuendo based suggestions that a biological process called sex exists.Lower classes, we learn body parts through diagrams of semi-clad human beings.Question would arise why little boys and girls should be limited to being shown anything BUT private parts in educational diagrams, but thats another story, sio?

I have a hunch that the Committe that came up with this 8-4-4 ish sat in the boadroom one day over yellow tosti and Maziwa ya Nyayo and pondered on how the heck to approach this elephant in the room. Aha! Light bulb moment. First step, invoke the fear of God in these potential brats. . .Get it into their little craniums that:

1. A God exsists. . . He is the best ever, having created pretty much everything
2.Theres a very special event being prepared for those who dont listen. Some place called Hell. . .this includes 7 olympic size swimming pools with molten lava and 666 branding sessions...Damnation without relief!
3. They should also catch a glimpse of the caretaker. . .Lets call him Satan for now. Along with a most hideous graphic representation of the same.

This is the general picture despite the slight variations between CRE, HRE and IRE etc. So what we have is kids tempted to pee in they pants and tow the line.Thats why units such as How We Were Fearfully & Wonderfully Made do not achieve their ultimate purpose.

Another golden opportunity to explore sexuality et al comes in upper class science lessons, when we grasp something or two about reproduction.Unfortunately, this ends up in a hellova sham as the essential objective of this topic gets lost somehow. Quick example:

Fertilization takes place during sexual intercourse. . .sperms are released through the penis of the male into the vagina of the female
Improve Your Science & Agriculture Workbook Std 8, Malkiat Singh (2000) pg 22

First, the quote sounds like a combine harvestor instruction manual and yet it targets new teens. Its then riddled with so many assumptions it hurts. Just because someone is 14 doesnt mean he knows what a penis or vagina is, let alone sexual intercourse. Its such oversight that breeds really strange sociophobe types who got messed in the brain to learn not everyone uses a hosepipe in the loo.

One would tend to assume High school would afford a more open forum. True, reproduction is discussed in length but the humanity of it is lost in a vortex of scientific phrases.I mean, surely words like oogenesis, spermatogenesis, oestrogen etc sound quite lambasting to a well fed post-lunch kid on a hot boring afternoon.

There are equally bland analyses of STDs and birth control methods as well, but these too assume a clinical detachment from it that is embarassing. Leme not even start with SEE. That ish had more to do with throwing an A in the report card than anything else. Garbage in - Garbage out after exams.

Am sure all the aboue doesnt beat the pornographic zeal of the boys at the library ooglin real human anatomy snaps in encyclopaedias. . .Good times those ?/!

Sexual Revolution without Sex Education: Informal Regimes

The minstry of education doesnt fund this but this is what forms like 90% of what is Sex Education 101 on this side of the Sahara:

From birth, theres really nothing much to do but breastfeed and add daipers to the top of the To Buy list. Forget that freak called Freud ( hehe weird name kama A Pimp Named Slick) who perhaps thinks otherwise. We toddle, walk, run and become little sons and daughters of AK-47s. We are hardly aware of our bodies but the realisation slowly sets in that these 'big people' have reservations about reavealing certain territories in their anatomy, given the spankings we receive for "bad manners", a phrase we get quite interested in with time.

Gender roles are moulded swiftly in games such as Cha Baba na Cha Mama.However, the revised edition comes with a part where the "children" are asked to go on exile as the "parents" discuss important business. Hide and Seek also grasped interesting dimensions.

Enough about childhood frolicks. When Mum is busy making dinner, Nature will be the lecturer for the day:

• Our bodies are MORPHING eeew. . . Girls, soon we gonna have small bumps on the front, big bumps on the rear and behave queer when boys holla. Boys, you gonna be hairy and posses the voice of someone who swallowed a 7500W hi-fi system.


• Yes, that girl right there, nah not that one, the one behind the one in yellow. She kinda cute huh?


• Girly made you pee in bed after that dream you had. .embarassing.


• Girly actually nose bled down there last month, weird!

I call this phase the hump phase since it represents the most difficult time of self-discovery. It determines the crystallization of our psychological well-being and will probably get the nerds and jocks huddled up in different corners.Most of us will discover it aint really a big deal. . .if growing up comes with being all furry and loosing blood onc a month, then yeah, its like that.But of course we will have the white trash wannabes who will slit they wrists and jump off rooftops. . .

Thus, in this new survival of the fittest coupled with the reality of things like High School and higher learning, its soon better to hunt in packs. We will naturally sort ourselves into cliques, complete with a hierachy of admins, officers and kawa peeps.Eventually, its the Queen Bees and studs that hand down volumes of misguided lessons inspired from a random blue movie or a Cosmo read upside down to their ardent followers. Very few people get to realise that the suffix -less is a missing quality of these "watu wa mpango"...

The scenario is worse in the rural areas where traditional myths are chopped, pounded, taken to the mill and blended into mordern times. Thats why you still get males with the notion that backaches could have something to do with an expensive sperm count and more and more women attaching they menses to all sorts of fetishes, you'd think we in 300BC.

Basically the plot is along the lines of Prison Break. . .these sexology lectures are given clandestinely and perhaps the whole taboo backdrop makes it so exciting.

A good example popped up yesterday. I was at a girl's high school near you in a forum discusing the law as regards sexual offences. We handed them pieces of paper to write anonymus questions. . .well, the kinda feedback we got, it wasnt hard to know what the average 16yr is up to:

1. If you have oral sex with someone, does that amount to an offence?


2. If publishing and selling porn is illegal, then why do they sell us those magz kwa street?

etc, etc. . .

At the end of the day, one will be quick to realise that what 8-4-4 doesnt avail us in terms of sex education, we gon get it by word of mouf!!

PS:Were we too excited when we went to arrest Mr. Java Hse that we forgot procedure?? Now he gon' pull an O.J. on us!
