The Sex Uneducated Project

usually I do it with a group of friends, we have this like mini trust circle square/trapezoid and we all share what we have done or what we are curious about or what we want to try, usually we get lots of laughs and awkwardness from it!

thesexuneducatedproject:

Do you talk about sex?
If so, with whom? If not, why?

I tend to do a lot of listening. My friends will talk about their sex lives, desires, experiences in great detail. We all laugh about it, listen and encourage each other. I’m fortunate to have a healthy environment to talk about my own experiences (or lack thereof)… but something still stops me from sharing.

I believe it is because I have spent so long shrinking the importance of my sexuality. Even though I have a safe environment, I don’t speak much. Maybe the first step is simply knowing that you want to heal and own that part of yourself?

Thoughts?

Really relevant question. Any answers/thoughts/feelings? 

Go for the male strippers, stay for the comedy and the coming of age story.*

*To best experience this review, please play Ginuwine’s “Pony” while reading.

I had no intention on seeing this movie, expecially not on opening day. But fate (and my friend buying my ticket) lead me to the third row of a packed theater in Burbank. Things I noticed:

• Women were going crazy. Hollering at the screen and cat-calling before previews even started.
• The theater had two men in attendance, who came with their significant others.
• Although the film had several sex scenes, condoms/protection were not shown or talked about.
• Matthew McConaughey is hilarious.
• Channing Tatum can dance.

This brought up some questions:

• What would women say if the genders were reversed and men were crowding theaters like this?
• Should movies take more responsibility when showing sex scenes and at least have a condom wrapper showing?

Although this movie would be easy to judge, it was put together very well. It was a fun movie with great performances by all, but especially Channing Tatum. It takes a brave person to put yourself out there like that. It was a pleasure to watch him in full acceptance of his past… it was a lesson in self-actualization that I did not expect to take away from a “male stripper flick”.

I recommend seeing this movie. It’s not a MUST see, if you want to wait for DVD. But, SPOILER ALERT: there are a lot of incredible abdominals. What? A girl can admire a beautiful physique. ;)

Let us know what you think! Are you going to see Magic Mike? Have you seen it? Any Comments?

I was first taught about condoms in year 9, so when i was about 13/14, but my first experience of using a condom (unlike most students who have the opportunity to attempt at putting one on a banana or something in school) was when I first had intercourse.

The reason is because I did triple science in school instead of double science like the majority of pupils, so we missed our sex-ed lessons for science lessons.

Long ago when i was wee, there was a computer game called leisure suit larry. i know that it still exists, but i’m talking about the original one where you would type “look car” to look at the car or “look boobs” to get a message about how you shouldn’t just stare at people’s boobs.

Early in the game, you have to go to the store and buy condoms. but you have to write “prophylactics”. you can’t write rubbers, or condoms or jimmy hats. you also couldn’t get any further in the game unless you bought them.

So i was 9 or 10. this was probably not the first time i learned about condoms. i think we were already well into the aids crisis by then, and i watched a lot of tv! so i’m not sure about how i heard about condoms, but this is definitely how i learned to spell prophylactic.
