Americans are 'more likely to have an STD than Europeans'

[Tanner 810]

Kind of expected that because they don't have proper s-x ed in the USA

This just doesn't even shock me. Most people over here are uneducated and careless it seems. 

[Dorothy Gale 7,575]

I don't think its because of s-x Ed. People just make bad choices disproportionately.

[NewYorkCity 10,536]

Europeans do it better

Oh, you mean a country that lacks proper s-xual education and reinforces the negative sides of s-x with a bit "DON'T DO IT EVER" message has more STDs? What a surprise.

Europe follows the World Health Organization's Standards for Sexuality Education that you can view here: http://www.bzga-whocc.de/?uid=20c71afcb419f260c6afd10b684768f5&id=home

It states:

 They need to know about s-xuality in terms of both risk and enrichment, in order to develop a positive and responsible attitude towards it. In this way, they will be enabled to behave responsibly not only towards themselves, but also towards others in the societies they live in.

...

Holistic s-xuality education gives children and young people unbiased, scientifi cally correct information on all aspects of s-xuality and, at the same time, helps them to develop the skills to act upon this information. Thus it contributes to the development of respectful, open-minded attitudes and helps to build equitable societies. 

Traditionally, s-xuality education has focused on the potential risks of s-xuality, such as unintended pregnancy and STI. This negative focus is often frightening for children and young people: moreover, it does not respond to their need for information and skills and, in all too many cases, it simply has no relevance to their lives.

A holistic approach based on an understanding of s-xuality as an area of human potential helps children and young people to develop essential skills to enable them to self-determine their s-xuality and their relationships at the various developmental stages. It supports them in becoming more empowered in order to live out their s-xuality and their partnerships in a fulfilling and responsible manner. These skills are also essential for protecting themselves from possible risks.

Sexuality education is also part of a more general education, and thus affects the development of the child’s personality. Its preventive nature not only contributes to the prevention of negative consequences linked to s-xuality, but can also improve quality of life, health and well-being. In this way, s-xuality education contributes to health promotion in general. 

Reading through the standards is actually really interesting.

Not surprised tbh

[Giorno Giovanna 3,178]

i agree , kind of paradox almost, but I guess knowledge is important as the text states, in order for young people to make good decisions based on their (s-xual) education.

Is s-x ed. here really that bad? I remember having s-x ed in elementary?  

Anyway, here's for those that think cut penises are so much safer. Most European men are uncut and less likely to have an STD apparently (which then translated to women as well). 

[Morphine Prince 109,960]

Ok, I've been thinking about this after posting and omg the amount of people who think the "pull out" method is safe against pregnancy is alarming. And not to mention it doesn't take into consideration STD's. I believe that both the man and woman must protect themselves, even married couples that don't want children. And if they both just can't protect themselves, for the love of God, the man should wear a condom and not leave the woman to only take the pill that might not work at the worst time lol. Some men just feel like they don't need to do anything and it's the woman's fault if a pregnancy occurs  

[Luc 4,776]

​or: s-x ed is taught in europe in elementary school already in a "DON'T HAVE SEX YOU'LL DIE" kind of way and people are urged to practise safe s-x until both partners have been tested for STDs and are able to use alternative contraceptions.

Probably. I had to apply a condom on a dildo when I was 13

​If a teacher in the US did that the parents would probably sue for s-xual harassment lmao.

You had to ask permission from your parents. I didn't, but I know they wouldn't mind anyways.
