Sex Ed for Manhattan Prep Students: Masturbation & Porn Literacy for Teens

We've previously written about raunchy teen behavior at some of Manhattan's "top" schools. For example, we shared when Emily Jane Fox related in her New York Times Bestseller, Born Trump: Inside America's First Family, that Ivanka flashed a hot dog vendor from the third floor window of her Chapin 8th grade classroom. 

And we related that Tamar Lewin posted in "Teen-Agers Alter Sexual Practices, Thinking Risks Will Be Avoided" (April 5, 1997) for the New York Times that Hunter, a top high school on Manhattan's wealthy Upper East Side, provides "mint-flavored condoms with no spermicide, labeled ''ONLY for oral sex'' for the Hunter High nymphets.

Now Dana Kennedy posted for the New York Post that "Dalton parents [are] enraged over ‘masturbation’ videos for first graders" (May 29, 2021) Kennedy wrote:

Last fall, parents at the posh $55,000-per-year Dalton School got wind of their first-graders being taught sex-education lessons that included masturbation.

The Post viewed video of a cartoon Fonte used in one of her sex-ed classes for 6-year-olds showing little kids talking about “touching themselves” for pleasure.

Then the little girl character chimes in: “Sometimes, when I’m in my bath or when Mom puts me to bed, I like to touch my vulva too.”

And Kennedy reported for the New York Post that "Columbia Prep students and parents reel after class on ‘porn literacy’". Kennedy wrote:

When juniors at [Columbia Grammar & Prep School] the $47,000-a-year Manhattan school showed up for a health and sexuality workshop, most thought it was “just going to be about condoms or birth control,” a student told The Post.

Instead, it was something called “Pornography Literacy: An intersectional focus on mainstream porn,” taught by Justine Ang Fonte, who’s the director of Health & Wellness at another elite prep school, Dalton.

Fonte’s presentation, some of which was seen by The Post, included a list of the most searched pornographic terms of 2019, including “creampie,” “anal,” “gangbang,” “stepmom” and more.

One slide cited various porn genres such as “incest-themed,” consensual or “vanilla,” “barely legal,” and “kink and BDSM” (which included “waterboard electro” torture porn as an example). 

Barely legal? #pun
