Fantastic piece, Pedro. And I do think your ideas can be implemented. I was reading recently how in sex education classes in Sweden, they have young boys watch porn and then discuss why what they are seeing is a distorted view of sexuality - the objectification, abuse, and most importantly that they are watching actors and not real people.

And religion needs to stay out of sex education in this country. I wrote a piece recently how the Trump administration gutted all the sex education programs across the country and made it so they would only receive funding if they taught kids abstinence-only sex programs.

Well, teen pregnancies skyrocket in those same areas teaching abstinence-only. And shame. Shame is what they peddle to young boys - i.e. Girls who have sex before marriage are compared to "chewed up pieces of gum."

And don't even get me started on the hate they preach toward homosexuality. I am not saying all religion is bad. But religion should stay out of human sexuality.

Thanks for the great read.
