[nabs-l] Sex Education Curriculum

[Ashley Bramlett]

Joshua,
Nope; we are at a disadvantage in learning about sex. I think this  survey 
is a good idea.
Without any vision, perhaps you don't realize how visual stuff is and what 
you are missing. Sex is portrayed in videos and pictures. Sighted kids learn 
from tv, movies, books and magazines. We do not see those pictures.
I remember this  sex stuff as part of health class. We did not discuss 
anything controversial. We just learned about the body parts and functions; 
however, it was  kind of confusing without the visual pictures.
Come on, even if you wait til marriage, do you really want your wife 
teaching you basic stuff about this activity?
Also, books do not mean much without a reference explaining the act. I know 
from experience. When a book says a certain term, I had no clue what it 
meant without looking it up! I won't get into details other than to say I 
know less about sex than my peers my age.

Hi, Amber!
You're right!
BTW, I like the lyrics in your signature!
That's one of my favorite songs!
Welcome to the list!
Blessings, Joshua
