A British dad thinks a sex health guide his daughter got in school toe-tally sucks.
Carl Lawrence, 35, said his daughter Emma, 14, came home from Shevington High in Wigan, Greater Manchester, after being told to discuss the manual titled “Relationships and Sexual Health,” the Sun reported.
Among the alternatives to sex, the publication suggested that students “suck each other’s toes.”
“I understand children need to be made aware of the world, but should we really be promoting fetishes in Year Nine? I don’t think so,” the security worker told the news outlet.
The mortified dad decided to jokingly message Emma’s boyfriend about the toe-curling tip.
“I sent [him] a message saying, ‘If you remember six months ago, I warned you, ‘Whatever you do to my daughter I’m prepared to do to you. Well, when it comes to sucking toes, you’re safe — I’m going nowhere near your trotters,’” Lawrence said.
“He replied, ‘Me neither. That’s disgusting. I didn’t even know that was a thing.'”
Other suggestions offered in the guide included buying partners “some nice underwear,” nibbling their ears, each sucking the ends of a long piece of spaghetti, telling them “they are beautiful even if they look rough” and driving “for two hours to see them for one.”
Emma said she and her classmates “were all looking at it laughing.”
“We asked the teacher and she said, ‘You don’t know if you like it until you try it.’ I was shocked,” she said.
The school referred questions to the Wigan Council, which referred questions to Spectrum Community Health CIC.
“Spectrum’s Relationships and Sex Education Programme provides information and support to young people throughout their high school journey, helping them to make safer choices,” a rep told the Sun.
“The 101 Ways were created by teenagers and are referenced by Spectrum in the context of the classroom lessons they support.”
