Ashton Kutcher Proves Himself Surprisingly Intelligent And Understanding Of Women

I know what you're thinking.  "He couldn't possibly have typed the name Ashton Kutcher on purpose."  I'm having to check my sources a third time and make sure they're correct.  Yes, it's Ashton Kutcher.  OK, moving on.

This story is about a month old, but I thought I would still share it.  While doing a press junket for the movie 'Friends With Benefits', Natalie Portman and Ashton were talking to a writer for Movieline.com, they started talking about how they were using fake condoms during fake sex scenes.  Then out of nowhere, Ashton said the following:

"I think there’s so much that’s not said about sex in our country, even from an educational level.(snip) Sometimes we get to make films that open things up that people can talk about, and one of the interesting things (snip) is that, especially for women in the sex education process in schools, the one thing they teach about is how to get pregnant or how to not get pregnant, but they don't really talk about sex as a point of pleasure for women.
The male orgasm is actually right there and readily available to learn about because it's actually part of the reproductive cycle, but the female orgasm isn't really talked about in the education system. Part of that creates a place where women aren't empowered around their own sexuality and their own sexual selves, and from a purely entertainment point of view, to create a movie with a female lead that's empowered with her own sexuality is a powerful thing.

And if we can give teenage people something to think about from a sex perspective, I would say it would be to open a conversation where women are empowered with their own sexual experiences from an educational level as well as an entertainment level."

Wow.  I'm impressed.  To see a message like that come from someone that just a few years ago was doing 'Dude, Where's My Car?' is quite shocking to see.  Actually, to see it from any male celebrity is somewhat shocking.  He was taking a bit of a risk by putting that out there.  But he makes a valid point.

Most teenage girls learn safe sex in school, but not how to make themselves feel good.  Boys figure that out by the time they're 11.  From what I've seen, (again, from what I've seen) teenage girls learn techniques on giving blowjobs, not sexual empowerment, from their best friends.  They don't discuss masturbation or orgasms very often.  Most wouldn't have an enough of an open relationship with their mother to talk about sex or sexual pleasure.

As you go through high school, you date Johnny Football Quarterback, who comes in two minutes, and could care shit less if you come or not.  Then college comes and you're dating some douchey fratboy that sees you more as a trophy piece than as a girlfriend.

Before you know it, you're 25 and you've never had an orgasm, whether it has been by yourself or with another person.  Some people, unfortunately,are just not wired to be orgasmic.  Sadly, the majority of women that experience the 25 and "O"-less scenario are because, over the course of their sexual lives, they have been treated as objects instead of women.

They have been inundated in entertainment and social media with a lack of strong, sexually empowered women.  They have gotten used to terms like "slut, ho, and whore" being used to describe someone.  These words were originally used to degrade a woman, now some women use them to greet each other.

What Ashton said may have come out a little clumsy, but I got his point.  Things need to change in this world. It's time for a educational revolution of sorts.
