Can We Talk About…Sex?

Well…considering I'm all the way out here down south, I don't usually keep track of the news that goes on back home. Then again…that's why I read blogs to begin with. Thanks to here, here, here and here regarding this. I can finally confirm the sheer catatonic stupidity of the people steering the country.

That and of course I have something to write about.

First thing first, there is something I like to put down in regards to this matter.

How the hell does an information blackout make people smarter?!

I mean considering that it's not like the majority of the people know what it is all about to begin with. I still talk to 20-21 year olds that get extremely squeemish about even the basics of sex. Taking that into consideration, you can basically imagine the kind of mistakes people like that would be making in the future when it comes to sex.

Mistakes that can cost people their lives and their futures.

Look…for the umpteenth time…sex Q&A printed on magazines isn't just about how to pleasure your partner more. It isn't just about how to achieve multiple male orgasms. It isn't just about how to find a woman's G-Spot.

It's also about how do you practice safe sex other than just the condom you put on a guy. It's also about how to be sure you should commit to sex with your partner knowing he or she has had multiple partners in the past. It's also about arming yourself with the knowledge to protect against the more serious and dangerous concequences of sex.

Isn't that worth the knowledge printed?

Unless of course there is some grand plan in the government to have a population boom in Malaysia along with a steady rise of sexually transmitted disease cases which they secretly have a cure for. Then yes…I might agree to this insane act. But having seen sexually transmitted diseases before and what it can do…

No…I don't think I would ever agree to such a grand plan.

These Sex articles and Q&A are the last official form of sex education Malaysians have left. I highly doubt that the government would like to push people to the more unofficial forms of sex education (streetside VCD vendors and Internet Porn Sites), because no matter how much you people higher up try…you can never cut people off from that source of sex. I also highly doubt how sex education in Form 3 science can actually educate us regarding what sex is all about besides the sperm digging into the egg.

Hell…by that time I knew way more about sex than that topic taught me.

It's time the higher ups start understanding that closing your eyes and ears isn't going to make problems go away. The only way you can face any problem is for the people to start knowing what is it that's out there.

After all…knowledge is power.

The power to protect yourself and the people around you.

Don't take away the knowledge.

Not for the sake of your morals.

    [...] You take this old matter for instance, no matter how many times I may read it, it's still baffling. Of course, that's just at one end of the spectrum but as much as I have no surprise to the limits of human depravity I'm still baffled by cases like this. [...]
