Sex ed for boys?!
Question: Ok so I'm teaching ten year olds sex ed. I'm supposed to teach about the changes in your body as you grow up, menstruation and how a baby grows in the womb. I'm not allowed teach intercourse until next year.
So I have haven't started yet but I've already been asked by one of the kids what it has to do with boys.
How do I answer that? If there's no intercourse then pregnancy and babies have nothing to do with boys. They've already told the girls that it's a girls' problem! Surely that's not a healthy way to teach them?
I'm not allowed mention erections or wet dreams or intercourse.(The first two won't even be taught next year) So from the boys point of view adolescence hasn't even much to do with them.
Anyone got a suggestion on how I can make lessons relevant without getting into trouble for teaching something I'm not allowed? Do I need to make it relevant for boys? Any guys got some helpful comments on how they were taught?
