I cannot figure out why conservatives find sex toys so scandalous. They are especially upset that high school age teenagers are being taught about them, as if they aren’t aware of their existence already. And god forbid Walmart sells vibrators. We can’t publicly acknowledge that some people have sexual needs. Next they’ll have to hide cucumbers and bananas from public view because they are too phallic.
Teenagers who are considering sexual activity should know there are tools they can use if they aren’t prepared for actual sex. Tools that are safer than actual sex. But they also should know how to use them safely (lube is your friend) so they don’t cause tears and put themselves at more risk.
It’s basic sex education.
Sex toys are especially important for queer folks. It is probably not a good idea for first timers to just stick it in the butt and “figure it out.” But if you mention butt plugs these people lose their fucking minds like it is some ultimate perversion.
If young people are old enough to have sex, they should be able to ask any question without judgment. We need to stop being so prudish if we truly want to keep things safe for them.
