That's not what I meant at all, I'm not meaning to be argumentative, so much can be misconstrued through text, I started off concerned you were being conned by a dirty old letch who would take advantage of you, then became genuinely intrigued as I've never heard of such a thing, and then defensive due to being sniped at and told to 'go back to kindergarten'.
I've never said they don't exist, what I've said is I have never heard of them and have no idea why they would exist. I totally accept that they exist in the US, I've never said they didn't exist there, what I said was they don't exist here and I've never even heard of them until this thread. It's a totally alien concept to me, it's just the concept of going to a specialised 'educator' for sex just sounds like the kids in school who'd charge other kids a quid to teach them to snog.
All I've ever meant is what the heck is one of those I've never heard of them we don't have them are you sure it's a real thing and someone's not going to take advantage or scam you of money for advise you can find yourself online?
I agree sex health is important. Ive always been very open with kids ive taught sex ed to and they've always felt they can talk to me honestly and i'll answer them honestly. But as I say here if there is something wrong physically you see your GP, if its mentally you see your psych and if its advise on fun and games you google it!
Totally no offense meant. I only got snippy when I was snipped at! And even then I didn't mean offense I was still just trying to get my point across. Not that I didn't believe you, that I was concerned about you and confused/intrigued about these people's role in society and the need for them.
