I’d think that butt plugs really do not have any place in a school (pre-K thru 12) curriculum. There’s a lot of information and a lot of concepts to cover. Basic, age appropriate sex education along the lines of reproduction and the basics of sexuality and that people come in many varieties of capacity for sexual attraction and gender expression plus the basics of birth control and disease prevention are quite sufficient for school settings and considerably more than most schools actually do. Sex education should focus on the biology.
It's not something that needs to be
covered. That's no reason it shouldn't be
available, though. Classroom schedule, no--library, yes. A high school library should have the full gamut of sex ed material.
I would tend to agree with this, but the anal safety part is pretty universal, and fairly important to address.
As to books in the library: "everyone knows what's on the shelf back here, nobody cares you are reading it, whatever you are reading", where whatever things like "glossary of insertables" and "comparative properties of lube types" and "horror stories about mixing silicone toys and silicone lubricants" are stored.
Girls in middle school and high school are already pressured to engage in sex acts that they are not ready for, and that do not give them pleasure. I am fairly certain that this is also true of at least some boys. Introducing butt plugs to teenagers is unlikely to do anything except increase the pressure on teenage girls. You know: half of the student body.
Please think about te countless hours that teachers, administrators, parents and press will spend discussing this particular topic which would really better be spent discussing how to ensure that kids have a decent comprehensive education, know how to read and write and do math and understand science and government and how their bodies work in general.
So, fail to discuss the elephant in the room that is reproductive safety and, also which happen to a discussion that largely DELAYS sexual activity because some people want to keep their kids ignorant and think that ignorance will keep their kids "straight".
One thing I think people have a right to is knowledge of how to operate their bodies and minds.
To be fair, I learned a lot from a book on tantric sex my best friend at the time stole from his mom.
Knowing that people born without what is considered a "prostate gland" have very little interest and are unlikely to get any sexual stimulation from anal sex at all, there are in fact strong opportunities in the discussion of "clean, lube, do not force" to point out that putting something in someone's ass, especially after that person said no, but even when they merely did not say yes, is rape, and that there is no point in asking if it's just going to be an absolutely selfish and one-sided request for someone else's pleasure.
Not at all. Kids in high school ( and younger) do not need additional pressure to engage in more sexual acts, including ones which are unlikely to give pleasure to at least half of the students.
You are really presuming far more ability for teens to navigate their own sexuality much less deal with the interest of others in pursuing their own pleasure irrespective of the feelings and needs ( physical, emotional, sexual) of others. Even more than sex, there is an enormous amount of social pressure, and other power dynamics at that age, without the experience and emotional maturity to navigate this new and ever changing miasma of feeling, expectations, responsibilities, needs. Frankly, the pressure for girls to perform unreciprocated oral sex is more than enough pressure.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with letting some information be discovered after high school.
If you think for a second that people will not put things in their asses because they haven't been told much about it, you are very very sorely mistaken.
Sex Ed is where that discussion of not pressuring others happens, usually when discussing things that folks pressure each other on. It lets a narrative define the act of pressure already before it happens as a villainous act that will render consequences.
Again, you won't help keep people from pressuring folks into doing things they don't want to do with more ignorance.
Discussions have to be had with high schoolers, in a decently sized group so nobody can pretend they didn't hear it, about pressuring people into sex acts they don't want.
But keeping students ignorant of the things they need to know to avoid injuring their own body is going to lead to unnecessary, embarrassing, and often untreated injuries.
