Only in England?

No sex please, we're confused

February 12, 2007 01:09pm

NEARLY one in three Britons think that if a woman jumps up and down, washes or urinates immediately after sex, she can prevent pregnancy.

It was one of a string of revelations in the survey carried out by the Family Planning Association (FPA) at the start of Contraceptive Awareness Week.

They reveal "widespread confusion and misunderstanding" about some of the basic facts, said the FPA, which has called for improved sex and relationships education in schools.

"In today's sexualised society, we are bombarded with a multitude of sexual imagery and messages," FPA chief executive Anne Weyman said.

"Nevertheless, providing people with the information and skills they need to make positive choices about their health and lives is not considered a priority."

One in five pregnancies currently ends in abortion, the FPA said.

The survey showed that half the 500 people questioned did not know that a woman's most fertile time is between 10 and 16 days before her next period.

The poll, carried out by Gfk NOP, also revealed that 89 per cent of respondents were unaware that it is possible for sperm to live inside a woman's body for up to seven days.

Nearly 25 per cent incorrectly thought that the fluid a man produces before he ejaculates does not contain sperm.

Most blamed their ignorance on a lack of sex education at school, with 18 per cent of the 18 to 65-year-olds questioned saying they never had any such lessons.

"None of us is born with the facts about sex and reproduction - we are taught them," Ms Weyman added.

"If this doesn't happen, myths start getting into circulation and people end up not being able to tell fact from fiction.

"If contraception isn't used or if it fails, instead of seeking professional help and advice people may take action that is completely ineffective in preventing a pregnancy."

So Americans do not have a monopoly on modern stupidity

"None of us is born with the facts about sex and reproduction - we are taught them," Ms Weyman added.

God I hate cunts like this.

That's right love, we knew nothing about it before your employer came along, no one ever managed to breed.

The irony of the thing is that it's the really stupid cunts who breed, thereby bringing yet further stupid people into the world (while there MAY be some genetic pre-disposition to being a fucktard, it is certain that children raised by morons have a prediliction to become morons themslves....live on an estate for a while and try to refute that)

Obviously true, judging by the measures a Rhode Island couple took to ensure that her 9 year old daughter was properly educated (i.e. do it right in front of the kid).

STORY

The highest rates of STIs and teenage pregnancies in Europe, yet still the govt. shies away from compulsory sex education in schools...

Surely this is just being dumped on Govt. cos parents can't face their OWN responsibilities, or did nobody fuck before schools were invented.

Then again, who wants sex education from a mother who's had 7 different kids by 6 different dads by the age of 17.

Maybe people with an IQ of under 100 should have their tubes tied...

Make it 80 and you have a deal. Bear in mind a Border Collie has an IQ of 30 ;)

Now, now, no reason to be offensive!!

Ok, I exxaggerated, but there WAS a girl who lived over the road from me who had 5 by 4 dads by the age of 20, and all but one of them are vile little scumbags. I suggest you live among some of the more verminous segments of society, and see if it sours the milk of human kindness in you any.

OK OK, seriously though, asking any given "chavmum" ( and mark my words, this creature exists, I can get you pictures if you like, of numerous examples, in no time at all), to advise on sex makes as much sense as asking the Pope to do it you may as well ask a 3 year old Amazonian boy to lecture on data encryption in a wireless world.

I always say that ferals breed ferals.

Our stupid government are now giving new mothers $4000 when they have a kid - don't the idiots know that the ferals will breed more now just to get the money? Der
