3. Fixed. Thanks. n/t

[Cronus Protagonist]

2. I read it and I thought it recommended TWO a week

I must have missed the part about one per day.

[nini]

9. their slogan says that

the recommendation is a few times a week.

13. That's Crazy Talk!

One or two a day, with or without a partner.

Anything less is crazy talk. :P

4. Somewhere, Dr. Jocelyn Elders is laughing.

historical reference: Clinton Surgeon General for awhile.

8. I hope so. Talk about being thrown under a bus. nt

[Deja Q]

5. Hmmm, if I were to ask, would they, um, crank a Yank?

:evilgrin:

6. When I was a school child, I didn't need a leaflet telling me about the

benefits of sexual pleasure. :eyes:

[nini]

18. my guess it is contrary to the approach we have here

that you're some kind of deviant if you enjoy sense - much more healthy way of approaching the topic.

10. Well, what sort are they talking about

Are they saying that students should be dating Rosie Palm and her five sisters, perform diagnostics on their man (or woman) tool, or varnish the flagpole on a daily basis? Or that they should be doing it with someone else?

[Regret My New Name]

24. I bet running for 30 - 60 minutes a day would be better for the heart

and probably be less likely to rile the feathers of the overly uptight..

Besides, like someone said above, as if teenagers need to be told to put their hands to use.

11. Will the Preventive Care portion of National Health cover this?

I hope so.

[nini]

12. Can you just imagine the reaction here?

LOL


I wish they would have said the age of these school children - I'm guessing high schoolers since the little kids wouldn't be quite ready for this.

14. So how long until Chris Hansen takes "To Catch A Predator" to London?

[bemildred]

15. But not just with anybody, I take it? nt

17. I understand this to be aimed at high-school aged kids.

"A National Health Service leaflet is advising school pupils that they have a “right” to an enjoyable sex life and that regular intercourse can be good for their cardiovascular health. "

As long as this is taught within a broader program that includes information about birth control and healthy relationships I can't see anything surprising or controversial about teaching teens that human beings have a right to an enjoyable sex life and that sex has many health benefits.

[LisaL]

26. Yea well if they were to enjoy that sex life with someone over

18, that person could end up in jail here in US.

[Maru Kitteh]

27. Children should be protected from sexual use and exploitation by adults

We should decide how we wish to define that abuse as a society and enforce it collectively, as opposed to the patchwork of state laws that exist now.

20. Man... If We'd Had That In My School Days...

I'd have had perfect attendance.

:evilgrin:

[LeftyMom]

21. I did that as Independent Study.

While I applaud less repressed thinking, I don't think anybody needs to tell healthy teenagers to rub one off every now and then. Unless teenagers have changed dramatically since I was one, that'd be a bit like telling them to breathe, or roll their eyes a lot, or something else teenagers do as a matter of instinct.

[Forkboy]

22. I did it as an independant study, too.

:rofl:

[WillyT]

23. LOL, Me Too !!!

That's why I was absent so much.

;)

:hi:

25. We All Did

Campaign? Back then, we didn't need no stinking CAMPAIGN!

I assume the publication in question is "Pleasure" -- I haven't found text on the web, but the Sheffield Centre page contains a pdf-link to articles about the pamphlet, indicating it is directed at professionals who work with youth
