Good sex ed. isn't just the mechanics of the body. It's also healthy habits, dangers, and pornography education as well. The problem is, when people hear sex ed. they immediately think of 7th grade and the basketball coach awkwardly holding a banana talking to the class before getting a stick of deodorant.


Again, you're not addressing the issue, which is the unhealthy rewiring of the brain. Nothing you've presented with sex ed would counteract that.

You also seem to think children have fully developed brains and are able to discern the difference between unhealthy fake porn and reality. This a scientifically, objectively wrong stance.


Even if they can’t discern they could at least have the information on what’s healhy and what’s not. Without sex-ed they’re risking getting bad information and even if their abilities to discern start getting better they’d have a corrupted baseline of what is normal/healthy.


I'm not arguing to do away with sex-ed. I'm saying it's not a replacement for some sort of enforcement of the law to keep underage kids from accessing porn easily.
