Yes, but it should be taught with a heavy dose of euphemisms:

"When there is a fire in the oven, the fireman takes out his hose..." etc.

yes, definetely. should be taught at about age 13.

It's a slippery slope. Next they'll be wanting to teach evolutionism and other crackpot theories.

Why not?

I think it would go along way to reducing the number of starfishes.

It should, and at least when I was in school it was.

Strange thing is I thought that sex education was already being taught.

No way should sex be discussed in school. Any child that mentions this terrible subject should be severly punished.

Yes, I think sex-education should be taught in schools. I don't think it motivates anyone to have sex, instead i think it educates the students and informs them the effects of STD's and AID's

In Japan? Absolutely YES! With an awareness of responsibility if there is a pregnancy thrown in!

RogueFive> Couldn't agree more. I was so shocked when I first learned that sex-ed wasn't taught in schools. And I soon noticed how much it showed. So many women know nothing about their own bodies, contraception etc that it is just startling

Should sex education be taught in schools?

Please no! There would be tests...lots of tests...multiple choice tests, diagram tests, fill in the blank tests. If it is taught in the same way that English is, nobody would ever have sex again.

Speaking personally, I would say no. It shouldn't be taught. It should be the responsibility of the parents to explain the facts of life to their children. Admittedly, because most parents are a bunch of cowards, it has to be taught.

Oh and kokuryu. I don't know what village you're talking about, but I'm sure as hell glad I didn't grow up there.

What ought to be taught, especially to guys, is personal responsibility, and how if you don't use a condom, you are being a reckless idiot, and showing you don't care at all for the girl.

Yes, it should be. But when it happens in Japan, it will be probably be ttaught in the same way everything else is in schools. A pompous oyaji / old spinster lecturing from a worksheet that hasn't been updated since the 70s "facts" like "AIDS comes from foreigners" and the students understanding nothing but revising this rubbish for their tests.

Might as well. Compared to what they teach in the hentai manga the school version should be pretty tame.
