(Female) provider giving sex ed in schools

[Wolfer]

In Belgium! I just read an article (in a paper in Dutch) that apparently there's a female sex worker in Flanders that has been getting a lot of buzz because she was answering questions about sex on Tiktok. She was getting a lot of questions from teenagers. 

Eventually schools started asking her to come and give workshops!! I'm actually so happy about this. Her style is incredibly unapologetic and open and honest. I think it's absolutely amazing that schools are contacting her. Just wanted to share this bit of good news.

Not sure why this is "good news" ?

Although I'm a sex positive person I seriously don't want my kids learning about sex from someone who generally  deals in helping people who DON'T have relationships.

Maybe I'm old fashioned but I still believe sex education for teenagers needs to be paired with relationship advice. Too many emotions flying around for teens to be assuming that no-strings hook ups are the norm.

Wow! You presume that this very popular sex ed teacher has no experience with relationships!

Of course. The "sex positive guy" thinks that sex workers are all heartless whores.

Medieval monks are everywhere. Right now, in Argentina, the opposition is denouncing Buenos Aires' (the State) government because they bought a bunch of lub for their sex education programs.

I was being facetious.

But I still think a more qualified educator should be teaching teenagers about sex. Not a person who is just good at it.

And you sex positiveness leads you to assume that a prostitute cannot be? Even when schools are hiring her?

Look, I understand you do not want a whore in front of a classroom. Just do not call yourself sex positive.

Having a positive attitude about sexuality is about adults.

I think children need someone who is educated to be an educator.

I'm sure a sex worker deals with a lot of different types of people and has good instincts. That doesn't make them capable of educating children.

Just because you're good in the kitchen it doesn't mean you can teach at a culinary school.

And you think that your judgement is better than the professional educators that are hiring this sex worker.

Again, your opinion is quite mainstream. You are not sex positive.

Did I say it was ?
I shared an opinion. That's all.

I don't want a person off the street teaching my children anything, including sex.

I prefer a person trained as a high school educator be their educator.

Again...my opinion.

Sure, Mr. sex positive.

And let me be clear, because I bet your "sex positive" prejudices are clouding your sex positive mindset.

I do not say that you are not SP because you oppose a prostitute to teach. I say it because your anti sex prejudices lead you to assume that this woman is not capable even when trained educators are bringing her to their schools.

Just my opinion.

I'd rather have my children taught about sex and relationships by professional sex workers than the asexual prudes who do it American public schools.

THAT is a good example sex positive mindset.

Rather a broad assessment of public school education.

This tit-for-tat bickering and hypocritical attitudes about who should or should not teach sex ed are why the lead article to this thread would never work in the US.

Yep, American prudish attitudes towards sex trigger laughs all over the Western world.
