Sex education from the BBC, flash-style. Willy Wonky and Funny Flaps.

Where do you get one of those ray guns the guy in Willy Wonky was using?

It's for...uh...a friend.

One in 200 has a micro penis (per the other MeFi sex education link).

This is funny.

REMEMBER: Sex under 16 is illegal.

So, the moral of the story is that if you use a ray gun to make your penis larger then it will grow a mind of its own and chase you naked around town? Got it. Wonder if the guns come with a surgeon generals warning...

Really. Google for "Linford's Lunchbox".

I first read the BBC as BCE, and I thought - ancient civ sex ed, how cool!

Then I saw it was just the BBC. oh well.

Don't feel too bad about the lunchbox crack, apparently the judge in the Linford Lunchbox Libel case had to ask.

I watched Funny Flaps and now I'm disturbed.

I must say, that the whole site is one of the better health and sex ed sites I've seen.

The pulling section is particularly interesting, mainly because before I clicked on the link I had no idea what the word meant in this context (though I had started to invent my own definitions).

Not bad. Nothing beats live action for this sort of education, though.

mervin, at first I thought your post read 'surgeon genital's warning'. LOL

REMEMBER: Sex under 16 is illegal.

No, it is not. In Canada, for instance, 14 seems to be the age of consent. In other countries the age is even lower, or not even specified. Step outside your own tiny locale for a moment and realize that the world is a big and varied place.

Secondly, knocking one out on your own is legal at most any age in most any place in the world. Pulling one's pud at age eight, even if it doesn't actually result in spillage, is sex.

It bothers me that in Funny Flaps the girl blows herself up with dynamite. WTF?

It bothers me that even in the best intentioned sex-ed resources the word 'vagina' is used to mean not just the vagina but the vulva as well. The vagina is one part, it ain't the whole thing. [/pet peeve]

fff: I found the bit where the used the clothes peg and the weight even more disturbing.

jokeefe: if you click on the "vagina factfile" link, it turns out they actually got it right. Rejoice!

jokeefe: Yes. I am not sure why fff was so disturbed by the dynamite after the weight. The sound effect of the clothespin was pretty bad, but I had to physically cringe at the sight of the weight and was this close to closing my browser window in disgust.

The clothespin would have just pulled right off, no slipping naked out the window. :-P

Five Fresh Fish- the site is a BBC sex education one, designed for Brits- sex under 16 is illegal here, so shouldn't the BBC at least point this out to its readers?

What does the BBC have to do with borkingchikapa? S/he's the one that made the categorical statement, not the BBC.
