Sex is a squicky topic religious or no - it makes people uncomfortable to discuss. There's a lot of misinformation that gets perpetuated in all circles - including information about circumcision.
But it's not just the mechanics of sex that need to be explained - it's also body image and relationship health that should be promoted, and they don't do that either.
Yeah, I can understand that - not about circumcision cos that's just not a 'thing' here in the UK, not at all - but in general sex is still an uncomfortable topic for most people. And overall I think that is probably due to religious baggage down through the ages, but who knows whether it would still be the case even without religion. I know that I was very uncomfortable talking explicitly about sex in A69 when I first got to this site but now I'm more comfortable saying the sorts of things I've said in this thread... so this uncomfortableness can be challenged and overcome. So I thank AF for that... for opening me up hehe. But yeah, I'm all for being more open about sex and more realistic sex education all round. Especially about body image etc... as it is everyone's essentially isolated because of this fear of talking about it, leaving everyone to their own ignorance and delusions.
