Sex education in your school

[Aqualung]

My public school incorporates within the compulsory phys. ed. credit about 6 weeks of 'health education'. So we learn about STD's, some nutrition stuff, and that's about it.

I've had to learn everything on my own, either from my friends or on the internet. Goddamn education sucks- can't even teach one of the most important aspects of life, but you can teach me all the innuendos in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead?

Sigh.

We put condoms on bananas

Teacher put us in a room and told us to take turns reading aloud from the biology book. And a good time was had by all.

Last year we had to put a comdom a MASSIVE blue penis

Lucky.

Dr. Manhattan never visits my school.

Wait.... How is that lucky?

Errr... same as the original quote but.... on penises that have smiley faces at the end.

Awkward^1000.

Besides my doctor Aunt taught me everything I needed too.

The rest came from the net.

School's there just to remind you.

My sex-ed class was in grade 6, we learned everything from the differents parts to the genetalia to the intercourse itself. In high school I don't think there was much, they provided condoms in the boys toilets and I think that was about it.

I'm pretty sure my health/sex ed teacher is an ex-porn star, so...
lets just say it was a bit awkward.

Especially when we had to watch the movie with the duck.

"Sex? What's that?"

That's how the Southerners roll.

My state has abstinence only sex ed and a really high teen pregnancy rate. I wonder if those two are connected.

...And the only health teacher at my school really likes her slideshow of pictures of genitalia covered in warts, or oozing blood and pus.

It involved zucchinis (courgettes) and condoms.

Beats the polystyrene cock I got.

We saw drawn pictures of children naked with their anatomy, (in grade 6) and eventually learned "and the penis goes into the vagina" and everyone except me went EWWWWWW and this girl I really liked looks at me with that "EEK!" retreating look they have, which may be bad, or it could be good that she looked straight at me. In any case, kind of happened a long time ago.

My school had the policy of "You're only 15, you shouldn't be having sex. But if you do, this is how you protect yourself from disease/pregnancy"

I have a fundamental problem with the "abstinence-only" programs. Just telling a kid NOT to do something will only ensure that they'll do it all the quicker. And when they do have sex, they won't be responsible, and they won't use protection.

Are condoms 100% effective? No, but teaching teens to use them is safer than letting them figure out sex for themselves.

You can't stop kids from doing stupid things, but you CAN teach them how to protect themselves.

We got to watch the Lifetime movie She's Too Young

The whole film is on Youtube, I highly suggest it for the lulz

To be honest, I always wanted to put a condom on a banana. They never showed us that. I was so let down.

My sex ed was kind of weird. In 5th grade, our PE teacher gave us a packet that talked about how if we have sex AT ALL we will contract STDs and die, and, I shit you not, the back of packet said "cool dudes NEVER have sex!". 6th grade we were told that we had to have sex to make babies, but that we should wait until marriage so we don't contract STDs or AIDS, and the same PE teacher from 5th grade told us that there was a hole in condoms that would let sperm, likely carrying Herpes, through. 9th grade we were given a rather liberal Sex Ed class that told us to at least wait until we were 18 to have sex, we were not however, told about condoms and were given pretty extensive consequences of Teen pregnancy. The concept of condoms and other such material I learned from teh internets.

I got a ditto sheet that had pictures of the male and female reproductive systems and blanks so you could write in the names of the individual organs and parts and stuff. And when I say pictures, I mean cartoonishly-drawn diagrams from what I think must have been the early 70s.

However, our school was also pretty poor and the "sex ed teacher" was a female substitute gym teacher, so the test involved fill-in-the-blanks with an accompanying visual aid. The female genitalia included things like "ovary", "fallopian tube", "uterus", "cervix", "vulva", but for some reason, the ditto sheet for the male genitals was basically just a drawing of a cock, they didn't even give us courtesy blanks to fill in. I wrote in "head", "shaft", "balls", with arrows pointing to the corresponding shapes on the page, and got full credit.

EDIT:

Prior to that, somebody recorded over my Cinderella tape with some kind of cheap, 90-minute-long porno; it gets right into the "Cinderelly, Cinderelly" song where the mice are making the dress, and then BAM, some guy with the biggest muttonchops I've ever seen and some dark-haired chick with a very nice rear are going at it under a bearskin rug while a blonde woman is doing some topless vacuuming. My sister and I watched for about five minutes in horror before we absconded with the tape to watch it in the basement before anyone caught on. I still have no idea how Cinderella actually ends.

As good as a film cinderalla is, you probably lucked out and learned a whole lot more from the porn.

It ends with the illusion that every girl has a fairy god mother to help them get the right man, and every wrong in their life will be made up for.

Having graduated from a Catholic High School, I was taught something along the lines of "It's the devil's way of gettin' ter ya!"
