Always do your own research

I learned the science around an erection, A few parts of the vagina and penis and how anatomically Sex works. In 8th grade. I asked my teacher if girls could get erections too. And when I asked for the science around masturbation she just told me about guys functions. I thought it was weird that girls bodies can do all these things but don’t have a physical reaction to when they feel “Turned on” I had a feeling there was something more behind it. I didn’t look into it because I trusted my teacher did all she could do for me. Until one day I was reading a Cosmopolitan article and gasped. She told me she didn’t want to give me too much information that could upset my parents but why is it so rational to talk about male bodies and not females. It’s not particularly damaging but I feel this is a crucial topic to cover in Health class or sex Ed. If you are going to be talking about it at all. Everyone should be aware what their body can do. Because not all guys masturbate and not all girls masturbate. It’s still crucial to know that you don’t need another person to have sexual pleasure. We're talking about sex in middle school because kids are curious and it’s important to know your body. I was left with so many questions she couldn’t answer. For a whole year, I didn’t understand I said to myself “ If the only biological reason for sex is to have a baby why are people surprised or scared when they are pregnant.”Being like oh shit when they look at the positive test. It’s only been a year and I know so much now. From different types of sex to why it causes pleasure. If you are curious look for answers in Books, online articles.Of course from shows because now I can watch Tv 14. BONUS: I have a support group that I can talk about it with💎
