Japanese all-girls school’s startling advice for girls whose boyfriends don’t want to strap up

Impactful lesson leaves a deep impression.

There’s a certain popular image of all-girls schools in Japan. A long, storied tradition of academic excellence, where young ladies greet each other with a baroquely courteous “Gokigen you” (“Good day”) and spend their days studying under a school motto that includes a call for “virtuous chastity.”

And indeed, the all-girls Japanese Twitter user @Nonamed_A attended ticked all those boxes. That doesn’t mean it was an institution where natural healthy urges were something that hand-wringing teachers urged their pupils to repress, however, and @Nonamed_A recently shared a surprising story from the school’s sex ed program.

女子校だったからだと思うけど、保健体育の性教育関係の授業で最も実践的だなあと思ったのは、「彼氏とまさかの事態に発展した際ベッドサイドに何か硬いものをさりげなく準備してすぐ手に取れるようにしておき、ゴムをつけないままことに及ぼうとした場合殴って逃げてから着拒しろ」だった

“It’s probably because I went to an all-girls high school, but in the sex education part of health class, I think the most practical thing they taught us was ‘If, by some turn of events, your boyfriend should be at your bedside and have a certain hardened something prepared, grab it in your hand. If he refuses to put a condom on, hit him, run away, and never speak to him again.’”

It’s worth noting that the teacher didn’t specify where to hit a boyfriend who was wanting to dive in without the proper attire, leaving “If your boyfriend won’t strap up, you punch him right in the junk” as a possible interpretation.

Commenters were impressed with the straightforward, no-nonsense approach taken by @Nonamed_A’s teacher, and some also passed along frank advice they’d received in their own classes.

“Such an impactful lesson.”
“They should teach kids this in all schools.”
“They really should. I went to an all-girls school, and they hardly taught us about sex at all.”
“I also went to an old all-girls school, but in class they had us, one by one, practice putting a condom on a stick.”
“My teacher told us ‘If a guy is telling you to just take birth control pills, dump him.’”

@Nonamed_A went on to share other pearls of wisdom from her sex ed class, such as “A lot of boys who’re your age won’t know how to put on a condom properly, so you need to learn how to do it,” and “If a guy isn’t willing to spring for a hotel room, dump him.” That might all seem surprisingly open for a school with a call for “chastity” in its motto, but once again the faculty had an enlightened attitude about the virtue. When asked, @Nonamed_A says the vice-principal informed students that “Chastity is not dating more than one person at a time, nor dating someone who’s also dating someone else, and moving on to your next love after you break up with someone,” showing that just because a school has a long history doesn’t mean its thinking has to be outdated.
