School Sex Cd Too Hot Even for the Danes 

The Danish government halted the distribution of 60,000 CD-ROMs for school 
sex education classes today because some of the content crossed the line of what 
the health minister deemed acceptable.

The 60,000 discs contained information about threesomes, bestiality and 
partners relieving themselves on each other while having sex. Distribution of the 
material was scheduled to start next week.

“What is the point of telling children and young people about” that, said 
Health Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen said. “That has, in no way, anything to do 
with birth control.”

He said the discs for the most part contained valid lessons on sexual 
education and family planning, but the few questionable inclusions resulted in the 
ban.

The government-financed discs, created in cooperation with the Danish Family 
Planning Association and the National Board of Health, will be destroyed.

Dr Christian Graugaard, the leader of the Danish Family Planning Association, 
regretted the government’s decision.

“When ninth graders encounter terms like animal sex and think that sounds 
weird, we would prefer that the person didn’t go on the Internet and find 300,000 
suspect porn sites but had sober information on a CD-ROMs instead,” he said.

In 1969, Denmark became the first in the world to remove a ban on adult 
censorship and to legalise pornography. Shops and newspaper stands openly sell porn 
magazines and X-rated videos.
