Now here’s something you won’t hear about on this side of the Atlantic…A government sponsored program aimed at teaching teens “self-pleasure” techniques!
I think Spain should get the award for Progressive Health Care Nation indeed.
Of course, the religious parties are going bonkers over this – saying such a “touchy” *ahem* topic should be left for parents to discuss with their budding sexuality.
The target demographic is between 14-17 years of age, using pamphlets, etc. and also deals with issues of contraception and self-respect. Although the article doesn’t specify the “why” for this new outreach program, I’m assuming it’s to counter non-solo-teen-sex and lower teen pregnancy/STI rates.
Sounds good to me…At least from a logical adult perspective.
However, thinking back, I’m not sure I would’ve appreciated a cute-little government-made pamphlet trying to convince me that masturbation was better than “the real thing”. (Who are they kidding?!)
I can see these teens getting a good laugh out of it (maybe an actual pointer or two – “OK Ladies, now right HERE is where you’ll find your clit! You know, just in case you’ve never noticed that super-sensitive spot on your body in the past 15 or so years!”).
Even worse, I can see teens taking pamphlets concerning the Other Gender (assuming they’re heterosexual) to get free sex tips on how to better pleasure their partners. It makes sense. If I wanted to know how to better pleasure my “boyfriend” and this pamphlet is made to teach HIM how to do it to HIMSELF, then wouldn’t it make sense for me to read THAT one instead? Yup. Yup.
So while I like the message and the forward thinking of this campaign, there might be some real-world design flaws that actually teach teens how to have better sex with Each Other rather than themselves – obviously undermining the actual campaign altogether.
Can’t “Win for Losing” I guess…*sighs*
***Other News Update*** I’m not sure what’s going on with this website-builder-guy I mentioned. I brought in one of my friends to see his new site and I think he was hitting on her…It was one of those situations where it could have been him just being “nice” – but afterward she asked if I’d noticed and we couldn’t decide either way – lol. Maybe I’ll bring her around more often just to see what happens between them 
Haha. So Bad.***

Maybe it’s unusual on *your* side of the Atlantic, but we’re a little more common-sense-based over here…
Of course there are those who still pretend masturbation doesn’t even happen but fortunately they’re not in charge at the moment (though I suspect they soon will be).

intresting blog……thank you…
It is so beneficial for teenagers to be bale to talk to you when they need to. I’d rather them ask me then use their ill-informed friends for source info. Good post!
Good point.. I think it’s all about knowledge. Why shouldn’t teens know? They’re going to learn about it sometime so why not sooner than later in a controlled environment.

Interesting article, the only flaw is actually working up the nerve to talk to them.
Very good point. But if you have worked on and maintained an open line of communication with them free of immediate judgement and over-emotional reaction, they’ll come to you about almost anything.
Teens learn sex through porn, remember? Yeah, you remember…
Very nice site!
