THURROCK MP Jackie Doyle-Price has delivered a damning indictment of some aspects of sex education in schools – and described in detail what she described as 'insulting and offensive' use of government money to promote a sex role game for teenagers.

Speaking in a debate in the House of Commons on relationship and sex education Ms Doyle-Price was one of a number of MPs from across the House who raised concerns about the content of materials being circulated in schools.

Members were told m,any organisations with political agendas have developed their own materials with potentially harmful content in respect of sex and gender.

Ms Doyle-Price explained that she had championed the importance of relationship and sex education (RSE) as a means of empowering girls and to teach healthy approaches to sex based on consent and intimacy.

During the course of the debate MPs referred to the Dice game, a product developed by LGBT charity 'The Proud Trust'. 

The game involves two die with faces carrying anus, object, Vulva (including Vagina) fingers, penis, fingers and mouth. The idea is that pupils roll the dice and discuss what could be done between the two body parts. This game has been described for those aged 13 or more plus to play under the supervision of their teachers.

Ms Doyle-Price said: "It reduces sex to just being about penetrative acts. Forgive me, but at the risk of being romantic and sentimental, a healthy sexual relationship is about fulfilment for both parties — it is not just about physicality.

"This is about safety and safe sex. A dice that displays objects and where they can be inserted is not a healthy approach to teaching people about safe sex.

"We hear young girls now think that the way to avoid getting pregnant is to have anal sex — that that is safe sex—but that is not without other risks.

"I had high hopes that RSE would empower our girls and be an important tool in the war against sexual violence. RSE is all about emphasising the primacy of consent and respect.

"I want boys to feel that they are able to call out sexually abusive behaviour by their peers when they witness it, because we know from recent campaigns that being a victim of sexually aggressive behaviour starts in schools.

"At a time when we are all just one click away from exploitative pornographic material on social media and the internet it is essential that the government ensures that RSE materials entering our schools are fit for purpose.

"The most insulting thing is that the material produced by the Proud Trust was funded by a Government grant via the Tampon tax. How incredibly insulting and offensive".
