Sex Education

Post Reply New Topic

I had sex ed for one day in 5th grade, a week in 8th grade health class, and again in 10th grade health class.

5th grade: Immature kids giggled, whatever. Nothing to be ashamed about, but the class started roaring when they mentioned wet dreams in this cheesy fashion of "why did i wet the bed??" "well, timmy..." After this kid had a dream about tattooing this girl right above her boob.

8th grade: STD slide show was the weirdest - mostly because I couldn't identify what half the pictures even were, even though I knew what a penis and vagina looked like (or were supposed to look like).

10th grade: In depth education and discussion. Our teacher even took an anonymous survey of the class of when you should do various sexual acts. 70% of the class said kissing\groping on the first date, oral sex by the third date, sex by the fifth date. Keep in mind this is in Tooele, Utah where our teen pregnancy rate is the highest in the state, and one of the highest in the country... Thank god I'm a virgin by choice man, I don't think I could have dealt with having a kid at a young age.

i had to take sex ed. it wasn't that bad I already knew most of the stuff the strange thing is they spent a entire day showing us the various condoms and other items you can use to ward off getting, or getting someone pregnant. the only part i found disgusting was when the teacher showed use various pictures of what STD's look like when you get them

i tried to be funny and it worked...
i asked the male teacher to demonstraight how to put a condom on... and he laughed

We had a priest come out to talk about sex - we were all saying "what would you know...". Anyway, he told us about visiting a small african village to get them to use condoms. He demonstrated for them using a broom handle.

When he revisited the village 6 months later, all the brooms were wearing them.

I don't have a Sex Ed class. My health class is strictly abstinence-only. We hadn't gotten to sex, though, but I saw it in the textbook. It stresses abstinence-until-marriage. I think it's a bad idea. The school I go to has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the district, so I think sex-ed is really important to teach. Also, instructing teenagers not to have sex until marriage just doesn't sound realistic to me.

i discovered sex in the weirdest way. my older sister made me watch Friends with her, and if you've ever seen Friends you know that every other episode deals with sex somehow. i was like 10. and finally i just asked my sister "what the heck are they talking about?". and she goes "um...well..."

i have a funny sex ed class story. this was before abstinence only became de riguer so we had an actual sex ed class, however bad it was. it explained how STD's worked by having three paint jars lined up (one red, one yellow, one blue) and dipping a paint brush in each so the colors mixed, while "This Magic Moment" played in the background. i am NOT making this up.

we also watched a video of a live human birth in biology class. i swear you couldn't find any better birth control than that.

are you kidding? it should be a snap! we all know teenagers aren't horny...oh wait...

seriously, abstinence only scares the crap out of me. and the fact so much money keeps going into it when it's PROVEN it doesn't work baffles me.

to me sex ed should come down to just this "girls, if he doesn't wear a condom then don't give him none. so guys? wear a condom."

I was "sexually educated" by the age of nine.
Of course, my parents knew nothing of this.

My health class was terrible, because they were all immature idiots.
Although, we did get to see some of the worst acting ever put on film...
That was quite entertaining.

My school taught some sex ed. We learned some stuff through taking health class. I took it over the summer, it was accelerated, so the information kinda went in and out of my brain. We learned some stuff but probably not enough. It was a health class, so it wasnt completely like a sex ed class. One section covered sex ed. I did some research paper about what sex ed classes should teach. Looking back upon it, i wasnt knowledgeable about the subject at all. I was pretty clueless. Obviously my parents never taught me anything, my mom didnt even mention sex at all until I was 18. She only mentioned it cause I was starting to hang out with boys a lot more. And whatever she mentioned was really obvious she just wanted me to be aware.

I took Sex-Ed in my sophomore year of high school.
We had a sombrero where everyone could put private questions in.
It was called "The Sexican."

I confess I was never given the sex talk,
so I will most likely will have to learn about sex on my own.
On-the-job training, so to speak!

I also confess I wanted to take Sex-Ed again
this past senior year, but was told not to.

I can't handle it well...I freaked out in grade nine for BIOLOGY...luckily I don't have to take gym (which has health) because of my low blood pressure!

I've attended probably about 5 sex education classes...all thanks to attending several different schools and courses. I didn't learn about sex from those classes though. I learn't about it from my mother who explained how it "all worked" the correct and proper way when I was 6 years old.

I never had a problem with it. We all started learning it here in the fourth grade and that continued through ninth.

I like real sex ed, not the 'abstinence only' ed.
