I notice...OK, Blogger changed the format. Monkeys!<br /><br />I noticed blouses bulging in the fourth form, but they were only interested in the sixth form boys, so I carried on riding my bike.<br /><br />First job on a farm at 16yrs of age, the Boar serving a Sow gave me my sex education. Sure, we looked in the magazine shops at the covers of Health & Efficiency on the way home from swimming, but had no idea how the 'tackle' worked. It was just 'different'.<br /><br />It was when I saw the Stud stallion performing I felt woefully inadequate . . . Bloody Hell!<br /><br />Sex education in schools, it shouldn't happen - too much state interference. Precious little of which is ever intended to do good. It's the parents responsibility - or take them down to the farm. Respect, responsibility and consequences ought to be foremost. Maybe too much Quadrophenia and 'free love', and not enough Cathy Come Home.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03085466471703759531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-90564524197836049912011-02-10T11:40:31.851+00:002011-02-10T11:40:31.851+00:00What's Blogger up to?

How do they now expect that same peer pressure to teach any understanding of sex and relationships?<br /><br />As for the Endowment fund, as in all hospitals it is made up of donations given to enhance the lot of less fortunate patients. It should not be a reserve fund for the board to use in order to avoid necessary capital expenditure.JRBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864418763227369458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-24806223276929731312011-02-09T23:21:46.792+00:002011-02-09T23:21:46.792+00:00I wouldn't worry that the 15 year olds lack ex...I wouldn't worry that the 15 year olds lack experience.

"OUTSIDE, in the gard...From Brave New World :<br /><br />"OUTSIDE, in the garden, it was playtime. Naked in the warm June sunshine, six or seven hundred little boys and girls were running with shrill yells over the lawns, or playing ball games, or squatting silently in twos and threes among the flowering shrubs. The roses were in bloom, two nightingales soliloquized in the boskage, a cuckoo was just going out of tune among the lime trees. The air was drowsy with the murmur of bees and helicopters.<br /><br /> The Director and his students stood for a short time watching a game of Centrifugal Bumble-puppy. Twenty children were grouped in a circle round a chrome steel tower. A ball thrown up so as to land on the platform at the top of the tower rolled down into the interior, fell on a rapidly revolving disk, was hurled through one or other of the numerous apertures pierced in the cylindrical casing, and had to be caught.<br /><br /> "Strange," mused the Director, as they turned away, "strange to think that even in Our Ford's day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption. It's madness. Nowadays the Controllers won't approve of any new game unless it can be shown that it requires at least as much apparatus as the most complicated of existing games." He interrupted himself.<br /><br /> "That's a charming little group," he said, pointing.<br /><br /> In a little grassy bay between tall clumps of Mediterranean heather, two children, a little boy of about seven and a little girl who might have been a year older, were playing, very gravely and with all the focussed attention of scientists intent on a labour of discovery, a rudimentary sexual game.<br /><br /> "Charming, charming!" the D.H.C. repeated sentimentally.<br /><br /> "Charming," the boys politely agreed. But their smile was rather patronizing. They had put aside similar childish amusements too recently to be able to watch them now without a touch of contempt. Charming? but it was just a pair of kids fooling about; that was all. Just kids.<br /><br /> "I always think," the Director was continuing in the same rather maudlin tone, when he was interrupted by a loud boo-hooing.<br /><br /> From a neighbouring shrubbery emerged a nurse, leading by the hand a small boy, who howled as he went. An anxious-looking little girl trotted at her heels.<br /><br /> "What's the matter?" asked the Director.<br /><br /> The nurse shrugged her shoulders. "Nothing much," she answered. "It's just that this little boy seems rather reluctant to join in the ordinary erotic play. I'd noticed it once or twice before. And now again to-day. He started yelling just now …"<br /><br /> "Honestly," put in the anxious-looking little girl, "I didn't mean to hurt him or anything. Honestly."<br /><br /> "Of course you didn't, dear," said the nurse reassuringly. "And so," she went on, turning back to the Director, "I'm taking him in to see the Assistant Superintendent of Psychology. Just to see if anything's at all abnormal."<br /><br /> "Quite right," said the Director. "Take him in. You stay here, little girl," he added, as the nurse moved away with her still howling charge. "What's your name?"<br /><br /> "Polly Trotsky."<br /><br /> "And a very good name too," said the Director. "Run away now and see if you can find some other little boy to play with."<br /><br /> The child scampered off into the bushes and was lost to sight.<br /><br /> "Exquisite little creature!" said the Director, looking after her. Then, turning to his students, "What I'm going to tell you now," he said, "may sound incredible. But then, when you're not accustomed to history, most facts about the past do sound incredible."'Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979034123783374628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-57659872747854894172011-02-09T23:08:09.648+00:002011-02-09T23:08:09.648+00:00High rates of teenage pregnancy - USA, Israel, UK ...High rates of teenage pregnancy - USA, Israel, UK ...<br /><br />Low rates - Sweden, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Singapore...<br /><br />I suppose it has something to do with popular culture/the media?<br /><br />Maybe Dundee should ban Rupert Murdoch.<br /><br />- AangirfanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-5762374477874313292011-02-09T20:28:03.760+00:002011-02-09T20:28:03.760+00:00Aye Conan, a 'top' class accolade.
