by Chuck Williamson A crude amalgamation of supernatural soap opera, neo-gothic rape fantasy, and fundamentalist abstinence parable, the Twilight franchise has continually been the source of mixed cultural signals. New Moon , the second installment of this inexplicable pop-cultural phenomenon, is no exception, tempering its chaste adolescent romanticism—full of love triangles, teen angst, and...

A Nov. 24 MRC Culture & Media Institute commentary by Matt Philbin is headlined, "Iowa Parents Lose to Sex Ed Lobby." But it would be more accurately headlined "Censorship Effort Fails." The issue is a periodical on sex education available in the teen section of a public library in Ames, Iowa. Parents had protested it, but the library board voted to continue to make it available....

The World Health Organization and the Joint United Nations HIV/AIDS campaign, or UNAIDS for short (good acronym, right'), was formally released yesterday for the first time in China. Though the report only shows cases reported by medical facilities and could thus be far higher, the dissemination is a major step in understanding and fighting AIDS in the country. First, the facts from Shanghai Daily...

Earlier this year we posted a series of examples of online communities in the TV industry . We looked at the way ‘old’ and ‘new’ media combine, how television broadcasters and production companies are working with online media. The examples we chose were all of ways in which online communities can be used to provide an additional set of experiences for a viewer, often after...

How did you learn about the finer points of sex? Maybe you watched that awkward sex education video that was filmed a good 20 years before your time and made sex out to be a clinical and methodical process.

from Victoria's Sex Blog As I get older, it’s becoming clearer to me that we really know nothing about anything until we’ve actually experienced it. And we’re never really prepared for it until we get there. I just read a most disturbing report about the impact of Internet pornography on youth and children by two Montreal reporters, Isabelle Maher and Martin Bisaillon - if you read...

A Spanish region's new approach to sex education has provoked anger by suggesting children be taught "self-exploration and self-pleasure". Teaching teenagers to whack off is a bit like teaching fish to swim, although I'm sure once Ed Balls realises the potential to increase pass rates we will have a GCSE in the subject in this country too. I did like this comment: "Extremadura should...

Think Progress is reporting that the Senate version of the health care bill restores funding for abstinence-only sex education after Obama's FY2010 budget eliminate it. I'm sure you will remember that the reason it was cut from the budget in the first place was that abstinence-only sex education does not work. And yet, it has somehow made it into the Senate bill. It sounds like we have Sen. Orrin Hatch...

At One News Now – the house organ of the arch-conservative group American Family Association – they published an article by Marcia Segelstein in which she declared: Listen up, parents. The goal of sex education is not to prevent unwanted pregnancies and diseases. The goal is to promote sexual freedom. Segelstein’s assertion here is demonstrably false (a [...]

For a blog that is supposedly about all things 暮らし kurashi (life, living) there is precious little sex around here, as I think you can all find enough of that elsewhere on the Internet. But, ladies and gentlemen of the blog reading inclination, I thought my attempt at a Vintage Japan series of posts could benefit from a look at - Sex Education.

Some conservative Christian denominations have issued a proclamation: we're sniveling busybodies and we're ready to prove it. Conservative Christian leaders unveiled a declaration Friday calling on Christians not to comply with rules and laws forcing them to accept abortion, same-sex marriage and other ideals that go against their religious doctrines. The declaration urges Christians to practice civil...
