90% of the kids in those classes would never have thought to try it otherwise, but now that it’s mentioned in school, they’ll be thinking about it…

Isn’t this the exact kind of reasoning anti-sex-ed fanatics use? “Well now that they know about sex they’re going to be more likely to try it!”
Having more knowledge about this isn’t a bad thing. It seems like they’re teaching legal ramifications for non-consensual acts or for going too far, probably with a focus on personal ramifications as well.

I agree. And I think people will be less likely to do it non-consensually if they they know that the other person knows it’s illegal.

Maybe if internet porn didn’t exist

It is becoming a more common practice and people don’t realise how easy it is to kill someone accidentally. It’s not wrong to address that through education, although I’m not sure how or when would be there best time to educate about it.

So, it’s okay to strangle or suffocate someone if they aren’t having sex? Did they need a new law for this?
You just made this kink more taboo, you fucking idiots.

This feels pretty needlessly anti-kink?

This is going to backfire as gloriously as DARE did in the US for drugs

They call it the “reverse praying mantis”.

Ohhh, now I get it. They’re saying students are being taught that strangling is illegal, not that it’s illegal to teach them about strangling.

My first read on that was they were teaching them how to do the the kind of strangling that’s illegal during sex.

No no, it’s illegal to strangle them while teaching.

This better not awaken anything in me. …or un-awaken…? or something.
