From Christopher:
They have a diagram: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/info-for-teens/our-bodies/your-penis-testicles-33817.htm that isn't bad. They seem to be doing a good job of dancing between giving teenagers the truth without saying anything that might make them less comfortable with their bodies. It's WAY better than the others, but it's not perfect.
I like that they describe the foreskin as a 'tube of skin' instead of a fold or a flap as is more common. "Double-layered tube", or "sleeve" would be better, but but beggars can't be choosers, I guess. Their more in-depth articles specifically use the words "genital mutilation". But they only acknowledge the reduction in sexual pleasure in the context of "some people believe". I might have to email them with a link to the empirical evidence for the reduction in sensation.
Has anyone found any better pro-intact resources for sex-ed?
