sybex Shark Oh, fun. What type of sex education did you have, if any? Abstinence-only, which amounts to none. What I learned: - All boys think with their dicks! - All girls are looking for Twu Lurv~! - Girls do not like porn. - Virginity is the bestest! - Sex in marriage is the only good sex! - Birth control is highly unreliable. - No one will ever need birth control, apparently, and thus will not be taught to use it effectively. - Marriage is contraception. - Everyone will get married and have children. - Homosexuals and bisexuals do not exist. - Abortion does not exist--no, wait, abortion is bad! (That wasn't actually a part of the curriculum, but we were being taught by a PREGNANCY CRISIS CENTER. So of course.) Where the heck are you, Jesusland or something? gonk C'mon! Ship yourself here, to Liberal Land! We'll take good care of you! Promise!

THEN they gave us misinformation, which will surely result in lots of fun over the next few years. And by "fun" I mean, "teenage pregnancies, spread of diseases, and awkward wedding nights". Misinformation is worse than no information, IMO.

1. What type of sex education did you have, if any?
Lucky me, I got sex ed, like three times. Two formal. I got nothing before sixth grade but "Watch out for older men, they'll molest you. Learn how to say no and tell adults." The first formal one was 6th grade (back in 1992--OMG PRE INTARWEBS): "Here's your period, girls, and here's some pads. Here's some cauliflower crotch--it's an STD. Here's some more scare tactics of icky dicks and oozing twats. If you get pregnant your life will suck and you will never have any fun and IT CAN HAPPEN THE FIRST TIME. Now don't do it." The second was in a--get this!--medical setting. Cause my high school was medical in nature. We got all sorts of informative videos on birth, and sex, and all of that, and even got to handle all the forms of birth control they had back then. Ah, sweet medicalese.
2. What were the most memorable (positive or negative) moments?
Sixth grade: What really stood out was this PITA video with this jive-talking black girl and later a Latina talking about how their big sister's lives sucked cause they got up the duff. Cause you see, only black and Hispanic girls get pregnant and they had to "keep it real." stare
Tenth Grade: When we were studying the contraceptives, the teacher passed out actual examples of the contraceptives. Three of the six condoms never got back (Teacher's rational: Well, if they took it, they need it, better safe than sorry) and one guy tried to fill the plunger with contraceptive foam and sprayed it about a foot in the air and all over his hands and desk. Teacher: "Well, that area's protected from sperm." Another student: "Good, (Name) won't get his hands pregnant." Roffle.
3. How did you feel when you were finished with the class?
Sixth Grade: Like sex was going to RUIN MY LIFE. Oh, and thanks a lot, sex ed, you should have told me that girls can molest girls thier own age, you ********, I was completely unprepared.
Tenth: I felt more respected. Granted, they were teaching us as if we were future medical practioners. However, we didn't cover abortion. I had to learn about that on the internet and self teachings. It was in 12th that I saw a missed abortion, a scene that will always stay with me.
4. Do you think it was worth it? Would you wish it on anybody else?
Sixth Grade: They try that on my kids and I'm bringing them straight home to learn the facts.
Tenth: Pretty good, could have been better.
5. What state (or country) did you take it in and when?
Texas. Sixth was 1992-1993; 10th was 1996-1997.

Oh damn. I remember getting tought about periods and tampons when I was in primary school. When my teacher put a tampon in a bowl of water, all the girls gasped, which caused all the boys to look over from the other room.
When I was around 16 were given a video to watch on 'The A-Z of Sex'. It had some information on STDs, pregnancy, masturbation (HOMG masturbation is OK!), orgasms (women could have multiple orgasms 'cause we r0x0rz), oral sex for guys and girls (with demonstrations on ice cream on different techniques!). Some stuff about waiting until you're ready, where to get free contraception, advice on getting on the pill, ways to tell your parents you're sexually active or want to be. What I remember of it was quite good. I can't remember abortion being mentioned. It probably was, I just didn't think much about it at the time. I could prbably find the movie somewhere on the web. It was by Channel 4 Schools (people in the UK might have seen it).
Sadly, the teacher didn't really talk to us much. We got a little demonstration on how to use a condom, but the first time I actually touched one was when I first had sex.
Edit: I got all of my education in England (Oxford to be exact).

Well, it was in... 9th or 10th grade I think. So I was 14-15 years old.
1. What type of sex education did you have, if any?
Well, first we went through an entire chapter about reproduction in our natural science class. The chapter also contained information about birth control, STD's and laws about abortion and so on.
Then we had a day where we first had an open discussion about sex, watched a video about it, and then we were divided into girls and boys and we watched another video, and got to try putting on condoms on a plasic d**k. Then we all got condoms.
2. What were the most memorable (positive or negative) moments?
Perhaps putting the condom on the rubber d**k. :p It was an awkward moment. XD
3. How did you feel when you were finished with the class?
I knew most of the information beforehand, but it was alright to be sure, you know. And I got a free condom! :p Still have it today, I think. XP
4. Do you think it was worth it? Would you wish it on anybody else?
I hope it's even better now, seeing this was 5-6 years ago, but yes, I think it's important to bring awareness to the youth about sex.
5. What state (or country) did you take it in and when?
Norway. This was in... 2001, perhaps? Can't remember exactly.

MipsyKitten ...ways to tell your parents you're sexually active or want to be. I can't even fathom mentioning that to my parents NOW, and I'm engaged. Do a lot of people tell their parents?

1. What type of sex education did you have, if any?
Limited.
5th Grade: Female Reproduction organs, puberty, menstruation, girl power!, etc.
6th Grade: Male and female reproduction organs, "Miracle of Life" video that included the release of sperm, fertilization, all the way up to childbirth(Which made just about everyone vow to adopt).
And in gym class, a brief video about HIV/AIDs.
In both you need parental consent, and classes were divided up by gender.
Middle School: It was integrated in a health class (importance of exercise, "drugs are evil! You'll die!, don't drink!" that took up half a semester.
We learned about STDs, though I only remember it being very vague. We may have gone more in-depth about HIV/AIDs, but the only thing about that I remember is them saying you don't have to have sex to get STDs, you can get it through blood and other things as well. ( heart )!
Talked about two different ways you can get pregnant: intercourse, inserting a finger with sperm on it. That part was slightly disturbing, considering we had a male teacher (hand motions!). Dx
Oh, and boys only want sex. surprised
I have yet to take the highschool health class, so...
3. How did you feel when you were finished with the class?
Mortified. Dx and pleased (I got 100% on my test!)
4. Do you think it was worth it? Would you wish it on anybody else?
Nope.
5. What state (or country) did you take it in and when?
Southeast Michigan, 2001, 2002, 2004.
EDIT: In my school district, they're going to start teaching sex-ed in 4th grade now. 3nodding

Eh. I never told them, and I don't really see a reason to. They must know. Or else they're dumb. I've been with my boyfriend for almost 4 years, and we've slept in the same bed since the first time he came to stay with me. <3 My mum did ask me after a few months or a year or something, but then we hadn't done it, so I said no. I think that surprised her.

No XD It was just good that they helped you out, and got the idea into your head that you didn't have to sneak around. I didn't tell my mum exactly. She found a condom wrapper in my room, after my ex boyfriend and I were left in the house by ourselves. It didn't go down too well.

ED was my sex ed. No joke.
I got the normal 5th grade shpeal on menstruations and the changes a woman's body goes through, which wasn't very useful since I was already having my period by that time. (Goddamnit, why couldn't I be NORMAL and have my period in like, 7-8th grade like everyone else, but instead have an extra two years of it. D smile
7th grade/8th grade, nothing specific about sex, more stuff on STD's, how to get pregnant, and how to get them and other health issues than anything else. No mention of homosexuality or abortion other than a minor passing reference to a**l sex.
Then I got on Gaia. And from there, ED.
I was supposed to take Health Sophmore year, but didn't and took an online course instead. Which wasn't very useful, since I'd already gotten 'my sex ed' from ED. No reference whatsoever to abortion or homosexuality.
And my parents never mentioned jack, other one of them going 'Well, you're too young to do...y'know..." when I started kindasorta going out with someone.
EDIT: Though, from what I heard from my friends, the school's health classes are fairly comprehensive though. I kind of regret not taking any, but now I don't have the time. Then again, I live in dear, liberal California, so...
