[nabs-l] Sex Education Curriculum

Hello,
My problem with the current mottles are that they are gross.
They are hard and as synthetic as possible. The way they are presented make
one never want to see a peaness or vagina. They may work for putting in a
condom or a diaphragm, but past that point they just bring disgust to their
users.
Any mottles should be at least somewhat realistic, because otherwise it will
scare the blind person from having anything to do with sex.
That sweetish class sounds very awesome, perhaps if the teacher stripped
down, the students would treat sex ed as a cereous topic. I don't think
anyone should be embarrassed about sex or sexual matters and I think
children should be given the truth. They have a peaness and a vagina and
when they are old enough to ask about what it is, they are almost old enough
to deal with the issues that come with their body demanding babies.
BTW Ashley, I know how hard it is to get your hands on a condom and I know
how hard it is to get your hands on a new born baby.
A condom looks like a long, thin, rubber sleeve with a big ring at the base.
There's a little pouch on the end that's smaller than the main part. When a
condom is in a package It's a little 1.5-2 inch square package that feels
like there is a ring in it. When the condom is taken out of the package,
it's like a ring with a rubber Curtin in the middle. You can find the side
that is supposed to fit over the peaness by either blowing on it or feeling
to see where that little pouch or bubble is poking out. The side that is
poking out is the side that stays on the outside.
They kind of feel like a finger of a latex glove.
WARNING! If your boyfriend wants to be cool and either: wear a flavored
condom, glow in the dark condom, extra large condom or any condom that's not
considered plane, don't do penetration. Most of those fancy condoms are
meant for oral sex and generally are weaker than the plane condoms. A
diaphragm is kind of the same idea, except it is inserted into the vagina
and can often stay there for a couple hours where as a condom has to be used
right away.
Also note, condoms aren't meant to be used more than once, so be aware of
that when you go in for the second time. They are thin and the guy doesn't
always notice that the condom has broken.
A baby's umbilical chord sticks out of their belly button. (You ever wonder
what that strange indentation is fore?) It is a feeding tube that goes right
into the baby's stomach. One end is attached to the mom somewhere in the
uterus and the other comes out of the babies bellybutton. The chord is cut
in order to remove the baby from a physical attachment to the mother.
Beyond that, take a biology class, it is a lot more detailed, but that is
the idea. You could also Google it.
Thanks,
Brandon Keith Biggs

Ashley, I think it depends on the teacher you have for sex ed. My
teacher was super duper good about explaining everything. Plus,
we had notes to read that described it very well.

Sophie,
I, too, took a sex ed class and it was useful. But, we still lack
knowledge
usually. I don't think this replaces school education, it
supplements it.
Having nonvisual access such as a description, diagrams, or model
would
further aide in our understanding of such a matter.
Guys you may want to skip the next paragraph.
For instance, My brother's wife just had a baby; having not seen
or been
explained what the birth process is, I don't have a clue what its
about.
What are contractions? What is ambiotic fluid and what is its
role in
supporting the fetus? I still don't understand how a baby gets
nurishment as
its in the mother. I know from the mother's food, but just how I
don't
understand.
They told me Steve, my brother, cut the umbilical cord.
But where is that on the baby and mother? Kasey told me she
started labour
in the evening and went to the hospital; she did not have the
baby til next
afternoon! I asked her how she managed it; wasn't she tired? She
informed me
she slept a little during the night. She told me the baby's head
came out
first which was normal. I did not know this. I learned from her
as I held my
nephew that the head came out first and then the trunk and limbs.
I learned
that babies cried after they came out of the womb. I learned that
infants
needed to get milk very often. I am hoping Kasey will tell me
more about her
pregnancy and the beginnings of it, AKA, the sex part sometime.
I think I'll take that survey that started this.
Ashley

Dave, I'm a little confused. I'm going into tenth grade, and I
took a sex ed class in seventh grade. I found it to be very
informative despite my blindness. I don't understand why we need
a special curriculum for sex ed.

I have been asked to circulate the following:
Dave
Dear NFB Member,
The National Federation of the Blind has been gracious enough to
help us with a current project.
We are currently seeking your opinion in a survey that will help
us
write a curriculum for students with low vision and blindness in
the
area of sex education. Currently no curriculum exists for
students
with low vision and blindness that reflect current education
standards. Young people, educators, and professionals have all
indicated that there is a desperate need for such a curriculum.
We want your voice to impact our work!
Please take the time to fill out the survey at the link found
below:
