Hi Bill,

Regarding the sex ed topic:

Poet and friends seem to be a little fuzzy on that "taught" vs. "taught about" issue. The backpedal position is "taught
about". However, she has made several posts on the need for girls to learn the proper technique of masturbation as it
comes "naturally" to boys. That would imply "taught" to most casual observers.

I did indeed say that masturbation should be taught in schools and gave GZ my reasons why around midday here yesterday. A few minutes later, kholt posted to me that she thought it would be more clear if I distunguished between "taught" and "taught about". I responded that she had made a good point, that what I had meant to say was that masturbation should be taught about. I don't think this is backpedalling, merely an attempt to make myself clear.

And FWIW, I think we all know by now that there's no "proper techniques" with regard to masturbation. Even we proper Yanks don't crook our pinkies. <gg>
