Actually, yes, that does sound like a good idea. At the start of puberty, boys and girls are (naturally enough) curious about sex. What does it feel like? Why is it such a big deal? We, though not always they, know they aren’t emotionally ready to deal with the consequences of sex, or the interpersonal and emotional connections it involves, but at the very least we can eliminate the “let’s just try it to see” aspect for some kids. Maybe you don’t realize this, but many kids in that age group opt to have sex, or make DIY sex toys, often unsafely, just out of curiosity. If nothing else, we should be directing them to sites like http://www.jackinworld.com/ and all the other actually-valid-and-useful info sources out there, because otherwise they’ll get their information from porn and from classmates as clueless as they are.
