I just finished watching and Da Er was also really funny and candid. I really like that both he and Kirk are willing to use personal anecdotes to elucidate their points. Thank you so much for the content!

[@AshinAsia]

My goodness, I'm having to keep pausing it, from laughing so much! Thanks MC. You really are the best!

TOO FAST? Control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 5% at a time on desktop computers and laptops OR 25% at a time on smartphone! Access the playback speed controls as follows: Desktop Computers and Laptops: open the video, then go to the lower right of the video's screen and click on the settings icon (it looks like a GEAR). On the upper right of the options window that comes up, you will see the link "custom". Click on the "custom" link to control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 5% at a time. Smartphones: open the video and go to the upper right of the video's screen. You will see 3 dots. Click on them and you will see the link to open the "playback speed" controls. Click on this link and you will be able to control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 25% at a time. Note that viewing the video on desktop computer/laptops gives you greater control over the playback speed (5% vs 25% on smartphones).

Well I am an overseas Chinese descendent and I live in Brazil. I and my husband we are the Second generation born in Brazil. Well we do not have a formal education in Brazil but in our family and our school community we talk very open with children My son is 6 years old. He knows by books that we read which parts of his body and the body of the girl are private parts of his body. He knows how the baby are made and that he won the sperm race and he knows what is a sexual inter course and more important he knows this is an adult issue. We can not only rely in school to give this information. The more important as soon as the Child Has this curiosity to respond with direct information. I guess that later we are going to discuss more about the emotional and psychological issues. But for us is important to respond to the question that a child does. 😇

这个话题很有趣这是我的一次，在上看到中国的年轻人，议论这个话题。我本人学到了不少东西。 谢谢大家。 It was very educating topic.

[@teresinharoberts6421]

Very entertaining interview! Thanks

[@cauwenberghsroeland8607]

Seen the number of people in China, of course there are a full of approaches of this matter. About as much as there are parents. And efficiency is , after al , an individual matter.

[@allen7585]

I’m in the US, education is very decentralized so some areas are very progressive with sex education and others barely teach it. Some areas teach abstinence only while others are pretty open about safe sex. I’m from a rural area and they briefly taught sex education from a health perspective in the sense that abstinence is the 100% method to avoid diseases and pregnancy but also showed proper condom usage and talked about certain common STDs spread. Even then it was only like 2 days and not thorough at all (I’m 35 now and honestly, I doubt it has changed much in my old school) Our movies and tv make us seem a very open and liberal society but when it comes to sex, we are still extremely conservative in a lot of the US.

Haven't gotten very far into this video (very funny so far! 🤭) but I can't get over the fact that poor Cao Cao's name is used as a swear word. 😅

[@outdoorscholar6016]

Before I clicked on the video: oh boy, this is going to be one SPICY podcast After I watched the video: I guess on this topic, the US and China are the same 😳 I never would have guessed.

[@msai257]

In what way did you think it would be different? Though to my understanding as a European, American sex ed is mostly "never have sex, you will get pregnant and die" and the Chinese way is to never even mention the concept.

[@outdoorscholar6016]

@@msai257 tbh I don’t know what I was expecting, but I wasn’t expecting so many similarities between the 2 cultures, from the society level to the individual level. I was under the impression that these young teenagers would be too exhausted from school to be aroused, and by the time they got to college they didn’t know how to interpret said feelings. That said, I do want to change my way of thinking based off of this new information so I won’t be as clueless or ignorant moving forward. I’m glad I watched the podcast

[@elaineg60]

I’m not sure if it’s good or bad knowing that boys in Chinese middle schools are as “strange”, (I’ll be nice 😂) as middle school boys in the US. Then again, way back in the “olden days”, the 60’s here in the US..I’ll never forget in 6th grade watching a popular boy putting his hands inside a popular girls shirt, IN CLASS. I was VERY naive, knew nothing about puberty or anything else at that age. About ten years later, that same “boy”, was sent to prison for assaulting several women.

Hey, Eileen! I'm a member as well as a foreign language professor. I love your channel. However, could you please have the guests not use f-bombs or s-bombs? My daughter is a big fan of yours, and I think it would be nice if your guests didn't swear with such vulgarity. After all, we want your channel to be kid and teen-friendly. Thanks.

[@ohhi5237]

Thanks for another video❤️

[@Grem305]

Kirk, I love you man, don't get me wrong I am a boy I am "not having a finger in every pie" so to speak but I think you really stand out. A bit on the off beat side and you have a great personality. Keep it up mate we like you very much in France so just remain the way you are. You are welcome in paris anytime and helen too. Da er you are too young on the show so I am sure I will get to know you better later on. Anyway you make a lovely bunch!!!

[@Claudiust]

Another podcast, and it's got Kirk! Amazing, thank you so much!

[@qianshi2219]

我爸跟我说过他也小时候有了胸部的硬块 然后他觉得真的太可怕了以为自己要死了😂😂

[@exxuto]

Seriously, never stop these talks with your friends. It's hilarious! I laughed in front of my TV when he said that his breasts hurt when he was in middle school.

[@ILTOMBA]

Which is totally normal btw

You handled this topic very well. These sort of pubescent learning experiences are universal. I went through this period of life in Australia in the 70's but so much is the same I was laughing all through it.

在西班牙我们从小（初二）一直有性教育课，我记得在我的学校每一年一两次，一个性学家会来我们班跟我们讲一讲怎么安全、怎么用安全套、安全套的用法、有什么性传播疾病，之类的，但是那些课的内容当然是按照不同阶段小孩子的心智情况。

[@williamdunn1000]

that was so entertaining on so many levels! thank you so much and please keep it up :}

[@havenisse2009]

Thank you for a very interesting and educational video. I think many countries have sex as taboo, including USA. Kids somehow always figure out how their bits work. You should try to look up how Denmark was in the 1970s, you'd probably be surprised.

[@Dave6177]

I know I'm a bit late but this is definitely an interesting as well as funny interview with interesting guests! Very educational too regarding Chinese Classics and Chinese society, morals and attitudes throughout the ages. Thoroughly enjoyed it ❤🎉 Also there is some good vocab in there and it's easy to follow. Perhaps because I'm more motivated due to the topic at hand. 😅

[@luciesolcova6776]

Hi Eileen, thanks for another great video. I would like to ask one question. Why Chinese girls don't take contraception pills?

[@gabriellevini_2993]

谢谢啊Eileen姐! 不知何故我好喜欢Kirk哥哥还有我特喜欢这个discussion! 每一次讨论都很有意思，但这一次很有特别! 谢谢你们，辛苦了! 🙇‍♀️😊😁🙏

Great to see such an open, happy and honest interview.

Very good 👍

[@vinodjoshi438]

wow, thanks for this fantastic video.... It was really very interesting and tells a lot about the sex life of china. Talking about sex , periods is still considered taboo in many countries but i think the new generation of china is very open about it ,hugging and kissing in public is very common in china now even living together before marriage is also very common.

我觉得，这个视频挺好的。它给我们讲的是在中国跟性教育有关的状况。到现在为止，这方面的知识还是比较少见的。我也该说的是在这个视频里有提到了相关性生活亲身的经验。三位主持人以非常幽默且有趣的方式来表达了自己的感想。所以我非常感谢你们给我们分享了！

Very educational..thank you although in philippine we have sex education

pls for these kind of videos prepare the new word list with pinyin and English translate because i cant use it dear teacher.

[@johnbould7544]

thanks for this Deep insight into culture. Lots of new words to learn. In the United States, our district held a father-son night for sex education in middle schools. However, my son refused to go because it was embarrassing to talk to his parents about the subject. The experiences of these people are the same as those in America, trust me.

那两位嘉宾大耳和Kirk都很有趣呀，他们聊在初中的时候偷偷的回头看身边女孩的胸我被笑死了，太逗了，谢谢Eileen发布这个视频！

ive heard worse on fox news about mexicans

[@juliasimons9418]

I think 2 men as interviewees instead 1 male & 1 female would have been better. In my experience (10 yrs ago) Chinese were rather naive about the particulars & were HEAVILY pressured about abstaining & the traditional Marriage conventions. Even dancing at a bar or Disco was considered exclusively done by women who were not there for "free". Even though condoms were applenty and everywhere, but freedom of body for young women was NOT permissable in society, and once branded, there was no going back. It is not a very Private society, and I doubt that has changed, in fact with gov policies, I bet that it has gotten worse. Not to mention the inclination to "cover things up" - google political and elite with $ex crimes .... every protest and legal action has been quickly & immediately stamped out.
