So what do you think the laws should be on it? Or do you think there shouldn't be any?
I don’t believe the right fix is just passing a law or repealing one. There is too much involved. The conclusions I have came to have been withered by years of looking into sexuality and all that is part of it. This includes sex acts, emotions, psychology of, physicality of, sociability of, and monetary issues that may arise, etc.
To give you what I think you are asking for I will answer as if I can change everything that I would want. If you are curious why I feel the way I do write me a PM. I am sure what you are about to read will seem off base, but I don’t. I feel it is the cause.
1. Studies would be done to show thoughts and beliefs of sex, intimacy and relationships from high school students, collage students and adults in general.
2. High schools would greatly improve their sex education programs. Besides the basics of sex, intimacy and relationship building would be also be taught. The course would cover the definitions of sexual orientations and genders, history of sex and sexuality, heterosexual, homosexual and bisexual sex acts ranging from “love making” to BDSM and other forms of sexual acts. It would also cover safe sex; combining the merits of abstinence only and proper condom, glove and finger cot use to SDIs and other health issues including depression after losing a partner by break up or death and drug use during sex, etc.
The subject would be given over a four year time. It would also be taught by three teachers with special education themselves on the subject. Each teacher would represent an ideology. One would have liberal ideas on sex, one would have conservative ideas on sex, and the last would have moderate ideas. The class would be taught with an emphasis on discussion, making sure no one ideology is taught. It would not be a right and wrong class, but a class to help make the students learn how to be adults in a way that works for them. The teachers would be available for a private Q & A with the students by appointment whenever needed.
3. After number two has been implemented for ten years number one would be redone to see what if anything has changed. If a change is shown in high school and collage graduate’s thoughts on sex, intimacy and relationships for “the better” with a high overall understanding then number four would be implemented.
4. Age of Consent laws would be placed at 14 or 16 being decided by the studies done in number three. In addition “The Campfire Rule” would be wrote in. Simply stated “The Campfire Rule” is “leave it a little better off than it was before you got there.” This would be to protect those that need to be protected. “The Campfire Rule” would look at the mental & emotional, physical, social and financial well being of those under eighteen that are in a relationship. Parents and guardians would handle any of the above abuse by calling the police just as the would now.
Hopefully in time the children would learn to be more capable adults, which would carry over into their work lives. As it is now one day they are children and the next they are adults able to do what they want, all except drink. Though some do. This by far is not a fix all, nor is it intended to be, but I do believe things would get a whole lot better if people would stop being “scared” of sex and intimacy so much. I feel the above it a start.
If you want anything explained better feel free to write.
