I definitely agree that most modern orthodox schools do students--both men and women--an enormous disservice (almost to the point of harm) when they don't talk about sexuality because they pretend or assume students won't be having any sort of physical relationship until marriage, and then a kallah teacher will deal with it. I'm impressed by these workshops and conversations on campus, but they are only a band-aid. I hope that we can create a larger conversation and work towards a more systemic solution.
