So you're saying that if your kid thinks he's gay or has realized that just

violently humping his girlfriend doesn't seem to make her happy he should

remain in the dark? I hope you'll agree that more information for kids ought

to prevent unhappiness and frustration in adults (who knows, might even

lower

the incidence of aids and lower the crime rate)


It has traditionally been very difficult for young people to get accurate

and impartial advice or information about 'taboo' subjects like sex and

drugs.

Instead they rely on word-of-mouth 'fact' from their network of friends.


I for one feel that http://www.thesite.org makes a valuable contribution.

With a definite fear of being flamed for agreeing with Just35, I must admit

that I don't agree with thesite.org making a 'valuable contribution'. Having

just visited it, it's plainly just a template that proves 'sex sells'. It

doesn't promote relationships (even the 'relationships' section is all about

dating, sex and one-night-stands), it doesn't promote abstention from either

drugs or sex as being an option and is plainly the equivalent of 'The Good

Sex Guide' Videos - which were able to show graphic sex scenes by abusing

the definition of 'education'.


Unhappiness and frustration in later life is more than just the sex. If sex

is the fulcrum and the centre of the relationship - then it's on unstable

grounds. If you had a good relationship with your partner then you should be

able to find out about what they like (or don't) by talking to them (shock

horror) in the physical REAL WORLD (not visiting a website and then

springing a new 'idea' on them, cos you read about it and thought it was

interesting). We all are created with innate differences, everywhere, and by

communicating and being able to share with each other - issues can be

overcome more successfully.


Anyway, because of it's nature, I'm sure thesite.org will prove to be

immensely popular by word of mouth and recommendation. I just don't think it

actually is balanced or 'educational' at all - this seems to be a bit of a

smokescreen.
