All districts are now required to promote abstinence, exclude consent, and remove any pictures of reproductive organs.

All districts are now required to promote abstinence, exclude consent, and remove any pictures of reproductive organs.

The Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) has ordered local school districts to submit their sex education plans to the state for approval. The FLDOE has also said the classes must promote abstinence and cannot include discussion of contraception or pictures of reproductive health organs.

The sex-ed takeover removes local discretion when it comes to district sex education classes and materials.

    I’ll dig for it. Might have been bullshit but I definitely read it.

    Who knows? Maybe I’ll end up being the face of bad women’s anatomy on Lemmy. :p

    I’ll find it.

      I’ve read that story, too. Still might be bullshit, but who would tell false story about sex on the Internet?

      Edit: found it, or at least an example

      Thank you for your willingness to look into it and your potential acknowledgement that the story may have been bullshit. I appreciate that.

      I’m pretty sure this can’t have happened, because the urethra is quite narrow and the opening so small, it’s a massive issue to get used to catheters with a tiny diameter. From what I hear, it takes a lot of physical and mental fortitude to be able to insert a catheter into that hole, needing good aim and perseverance, and a lot of design goes into making the cath process less traumatic.

      Caths are quite small. Unless a dick was literally a millimetre in diameter, I can’t imagine how that could happen, especially since the vagina is right next to that opening. If you even tried, it would just slip a quarter of an inch towards the opening that would easily accommodate it. It just seems physically impossible.

      e: turns out this did happen, in a case where the woman’s hymen never broke (it had to be surgically opened), and the man was under-endowed. It was a rare and unusual combination of anatomy. I stand corrected and retract my previous edit.

        The female partner had cribriform hymen and dilated urethral orifice but did not report any problems except infertility and her genital anatomy was normal. The male partner reported concerns over his penile size but was otherwise healthy. After incision of hymen, they were able to have vaginal coitus and successfully conceived. While urethral coitus is rare, it should be suspected in women presenting with infertility and a dilated urethral orifice.

        Just a slightly abnormal physiology, which would be spotted and understood better with better anatomy education.
