Agreed.

I think I would entrust letting kids know about homosexuality in a neutral way to a teacher before I would think you would be the right person for the job, I suspect you would just pass on your prejudices, my dad use to call gay's "Poofters" and "Wooly Woofters" but even he has mellowed. I can see what you mean about TV and I think there is perhaps a bit of a Gay monopoly going on at the BBC but when you actually weigh it up, its not that higher percentage of TV presenters that are Gay, I just think if I enjoy their show then so what, doesnt make me gay and they do tend to be funny and self depracating.

I dont think being gay is soley about sticking your **** in another mans bum, like heterosexuality isnt soley about ***** and fannies, now I like ladies, usually the more full figured, more mature ones (as a colleague at work recently found out when spying on my mobile phone browsing history, **** ) I wouldnt want to have sex with a man, it just isnt my thing so if a bloke feels like that about women, nature or not why cant he just get on with it ? doesnt do anyone any favours when he goes against his feelings and marries, has kids and then changes his mind, against nature, god or whatever its not like, as a species we are dying out because all us chaps are chomping on each others ***** !

Now I have three lads, i have no reason to beleive any of them are going to be gay but if they do it wont make any difference to me, no slight on my manhood as I am not that bothered, I know where I am up to. I dont want any of them to feel like they have to hide it or its shameful, if thats the way they are, deal with it, get used to it and move on, you may get a very nice son in law life is all about compromises and changes of plan, I know people who focus to much on perfection and the "right way" and they lead miserable lives waiting for everythign to drop into place, it never will, sometimes you end up in a completely different place to where you expeced to be and you dont get another chance.

I know a guy who I wokred with some years back who's 17 year old brother killed himself in his car as he coudlnt bear the thought of coming out, the chap regrets this obviously but he had known and had been kind of dropping hints to his parents to make his brother squirm, imagine living with that ?

Its only part of a person, anyone can be a saint or a ****, regardless of who they have sex/partnership with.


























Now, fancy a good hard bum ?

 

 

These plonkers must sit about trying to think of yet another "advanced" idea in an effort to impress us all. There really is something dangerously wrong about their thinking.

At the age of 6. a child is nowhere old or mature enough to be even thinking about that sort of thing. It would be beyong his understanding and filling their heads with that is not only mindlessly stupid but also confusing and bad for the child.

Sex education is best left until a child is old enough to actually understand what it means and trying to introduce homosexuality as well will be likely to even frighten the child.

A child should allowed to grow up naturally and when he is old enough to have an idea about what sex is about, that is the time to educate him. Heterosexuality is complicated enough for a young child to understand in the first place. Homosexuality could be introduced later in a sensitive manner in such a way that he understands fully what he is being told about.

Trying to force such things on a child too early is likely to be damaging I reckon.

I'm only 29 and the only sex education our class ever had was putting a condom over a hockey stick.............and I wasn't even there for that particular lesson!

Didn't do me any harm.
Sex education at 6 years old, just pointless. It will introduce more problems than solutions.

 

Only on Scoobynet could the moderators remove the posts between myself and Zohan yet leave the offensive homophobic ones behind. Unbelievable!

 

has someone been taking one at the shirt-lifters then?

about time those mods came out of the closet - those knobjockies to busy potting the brown to do their jobs properly!

 

Was it Ali- B(ummer) or Kieran ' my ring ' burns. , or puffter the magic wagon

This is joke mods don't take it to heart.

 

Well said, that man.

 

You should have finished school by 29 surely

And what the hell were you doing with those hockey sticks - sounds all a bit odd to me

I think kids of that age are probably more accepting of things as a lot is still new, I agree that they dont need an in depth lesson or any knowledge but they do ask questions like that, I think really in that situation it is best just to give them an answer, no silly stories, just say that some men love other men like daddy loves mummy and vice versa and leave it at that, if they dont ask they probably dont want or need to know, no need to try and turn them anti gay, just leave them to make their own conclusions and to learn off their peers as they get older.

 

Mind you it's probably best to teach catholic kids at a fairly young age?

Yep, sadly that has some truth to it.

 

And exactly how are they going to teach kids about gays...

"oh look children, that man is bending over the other phone *cough*"

LMAO at Poofter, haven't heard that since school days.

 

I think without knowing exactly word for word how explicit these lessons are, it's hard to say exactly how useful, or not these lessons may be.

I dont think it's wrong that children are being taught about relationships, gay or straight, but I do t think there needs to be any explicit content about the actual sexual act, which may or may not be what is being taught.

I don't see the problem with them being self aware and understanding ************.

Some children are not a problem, but others just can't keep their hands out of their pants, male or female, so it is a good idea that they can understand it isn't wrong, but there is a time and a place.

The problem in the UK, isnt that the children are being corrupted by sex eduaction, it's the lack of it that causes the problems. Teenagers thinking they know all about sex and relationships, and not understanding that it's not just about the sexual act, but the emotions that follow. That's without them being a risk of pregnancy or std's.

If sex education is left until we (as adults) feel children are old enough to be taught and can understand the details, then it's a bit late in my opinion. Children news to be aware of their feelings and how to behave and understand them waaaay before they are ready go physically act on it, otherwise they just want ro be learning hands on, and usually making mistakes.

It wouldn't do any harm for children to be taught that there is more to sex than just a physical act. Especially as the UK, and our marketing is all quite sexual in how it promotes things.
We can't be ignorant to this and allow children to see this, yet choose not to educate them about it.

I also thought tha these lessons were about children being able to learn about their own bodies, and gain some self respect. Understanding that it's not just about turning 16 and taa daa, you're ready for sex, because it just doesn't work like that.
