OC: sex education

my main suggestion for this class, if it continues next year, is that a different blogging site be used. i hate blogger, it only works on school computers half the time, it's a pain in the butt to find and view other people's blogs. i suggest a xanga or livejournal. both have friend's list features where you can add many accounts onto a list, that you can view anytime and browse posts your friend's have made. much easier than going to jen's page, then clicking on random classmate's names to go to their individual blog.

here's an OC post for you. i'll probably redo my chuck palahniuk post later today.:

i don't know why most people are so closed about sex, and i don't know why you're automatically a slut if you just like to have sex. i always thought that was silly. there's nothing wrong at all with having/liking sex, unless it's in a "cheating" situation of course. i was just thinking today that i have a few friends who are extremely sexual/considered "promiscuous", but they're safe about it, and i don't see the problem. i respect them even more just for being open about themselves and comfortable with knowing what they want and going after it. they're good people, and i don't know why a bad reputation should go hand in hand with just being sexually comfortable/open. it's a human instinct and reaction. we were created FOR that purpose, and BY that purpose. there's really nothing wrong with two people who enjoy it deciding to...enjoy it.
the only real issues would be the social issues as a result, such as pregnancy, STDs, and such, generally caused by lack of sex education or just plain irresponsibility or ignorance. if you're smart/responsibility enough to have those bases covered and stay safe, so to speak, then i see nothing wrong with it.
this has been on my mind a little bit since will and some other kids at school went to the rally/lobby/whatever they called it at the statehouse to promote sex education. kids are going to have sex regardless of how they are educated about it, so why not make sure they're at less smart enough to make basic decisions about their personal lives?
