What is this internets I keep hearing about

In Jr High, it was a banana.

More like inductrination.

The number of teen pregnancies increased by over 485% AFTER the introduction of sex education. But you're not ready to talk about that huh?

I remember Nick News.

Is it safe if my Dick is longer than the condom

Just ask makelovenotporn and cindygallop

STIs are high because drug addiction and homelessness are high.

Mind the gap

What could go wrong?

Maybe if they didn't fight for books like gender queer to be in schools

See now THIS is your element. Ensconce yourself in it, like Costanza and velvet

Dems call it sex ed.. everyone else just calls it porn when it's produced by pornhub.

Actually, I think it's high time we stop letting the 'Internet' parent/babysit/indoctrinate our children.

Bullshit

Millstone Market Incoming

You can fuck a turkey!

At least you wouldn't get pregnant with that
