One popular classroom exercise, for example, employs Scotch Tape to demonstrate how premarital sex can make girls dirty. A teacher holds up a clear strip of tape, meant to represent a girl, in front of the class. The teacher then puts the strip of tape, adhesive side down, on the arm of a boy in the class, to symbolize his sexual relationship with the girl. The teacher rips off the tape (signifying the breakup, apparently) and holds it up again for the class to look at. Students are meant to see that the strip of tape—the girl—has picked up all kinds of dirt and hair from the boy’s arm and is no longer clean. Then, when the teacher tries to stick the same strip to another boy’s arm, he or she notes that it doesn’t stick—they can’t bond! To end things with a bang, the abstinence educator makes a remark about the girl’s being “used” and therefore unable to have strong future relationships.

This was done in my “sex ed” class about 4 times in my grade school career.

WHO DOES THAT. Ugh. My faith in humanity is constantly diminishing.

This is so disgusting to me.

I’ve had the box exercise done in Catholic school. Basically there would be three boxes in front of us: one very nicely wrapped, another one half open, and another one completely destroyed. Apparently the one completely destroyed are the girls that have had sex, because now a vagina is a gift to a spouse. Ughh I hate sex ed.

Uhhh that is NOT sex ed. There is nothing educational about that sexist noise.

Why the fuck is it only the girl who’s the tape? If you put the tape on a girls arm the same shit will happen.
