why type of sex ed did you get?, just an informal poll Options

[sadolakced acid]

wanted to get a general overview of what children are learning in school as far as sex ed is concerned. check what you learned in school against the following facts to kind of see how accurate your teaching was.

1- HPV can cause cervical cancer and can be prevented by a vaccine
2- condoms will reduce the rate to transmission of most STDs.
3- birth control pills and pills such as the morning after pill do not protect any against STDs, but will help protect against pregnancy.
4- the first time a female has sex/ uses a large tampon, her hymen will break which will cause bleeding.

I can truthfully say I was very satisfied with my Sex Ed. The only thing lacking were the actual demonstrations.

[Rachel]

Welllll I'd say it was between basic and advanced, the facts were pretty well factual and there was little talk of contraception, basically if you decide to do it, don't be in idiot about it. We even got those stupid baby things that cry and whatnot. Ohhh and we were forced to sign abstinence cards. PS, this was 6-8th and in Arizona.

[misoshiru]

I got it all. From Abstinence-Advanced. The abstinence came in 6th grade, when I was still at a Christian school. And the Basic/Advanced came when I was a freshman in highschool...I think. And the states don't apply to me since I went to an international school.

[falsetigerlimbs]

I got pretty intense sex ed. My instructor even brought in douches and condoms, and probably other things, but those were the most memorable. She did the cliche "condom on a banana" thing. I got this in seventh grade, although I also got a less intense version in sixth grade.

[*kryogenix*]

New York State encouraged condom use and talked about other means of contraception. Back when I was a lot more liberal, I laughed at my health teacher when she said that condoms aren't perfect and that abstinence is the only way to prevent STDs and having babies. I was so stupid back then.

[*SayBloodyMary*]

Yes, if only you were as enlightened then as you were now, eh?



Anyway, I got full advanced sex ed, but in England.

No need to compliment on my infinite wisdom; I'm already fully aware.

I don't know what language they speak over there in England, but over here, we try to use proper English. Meaning, we try to use present tense when speaking, you know, in the present tense.

[tokyo-rose]

I live in New York City and had "advanced" sex ed both this year (10th grade) and last year.

[sprezzatura]

For me, I got it all except for #1.

[iDecay]

I didn't have sex-ed. I was supposed to last year in 7th grade, but my teacher chickened out and taught us about plants. I'm guessing I'll be learning in 10th grade? I don't know what type of state California is.

[kimmytree]

None whatsoever... yet. Woah, that's pretty sad, me being almost 18.
I've been at a private Christian school since 6th grade, so that's probably why. I'll be in public school this year for my senior year, so I'll have to take it.

[danifibble]

mine was between basic and advanced as well .

[datass]

I was taught basic sex ed in grade 5, a bit more detailed (with condoms) in grade 6, and advanced sex ed just recently, like putting on a condom on a fake penis and looking at other types of contraceptives. Sort of fun actually.

[talcumpowder]

. . . . Stupid, stupid multiple health classes.

Somewhat accurate: I had sex ed in 5th grade.
More accurate: They taught us what condoms and contraceptives were, but neglected to tell us what we were protecting ourselves from.

Somewhat accurate: I had sex ed in 7th grade.
More accurate: We learned all sorts of neat things (and ways) about how to produce a baby, but not what you actually had to do.

Somewhat accurate: I had sex ed twice in ninth grade.
More accurate: A teacher finally had the guts to tell us exactly what you do to produce a baby. And it was finally the whole package. As if that weren't enough, they had a lady come in and give a talk to every girl taking P.E., which I kinda though was overkill. Hey, we got free tampons.

All of this was lost on me, though, because I've been reading slash for about as long as they've been trying to teach me what sex was. Oops?

[EddieV]

As awkward as it sounds, my mom taught me about sex in detail.

[*stephinika*]

In grade 7 we learned the basics, in grade 10 we learned a bit more, and in grade 12 we learned all the specifics on contraceptives and whatnot.

[fagget]

I answered the first 2 questions wrong.
Am I the only person that loves when kryogenix is being a smart ass and crack up?

[Rachel]

Nope.

[*Mercy*]

I learned everything from What a Vagina is to how a condom works....all in ninth grade.(Poor Men)

Anyway, I got full advanced sex ed, but in England.

Whats the Difference?Do they teach the blokes how to seduce the women with the "English Charm"...

Lol. nice.

[Chicago]

i havent had sex ed?

[chibichi15]

^ lol, aww!

well, I've had from the abstinence to advanced sex ed. had the abstinence at my Christian school and the Advanced in public school (actually middle school).

[*JoanOfArc*]

I got the basic overview when I was in 4th grade.

[heatherl5]

Im enetering the 10th grade and I have had no sex ed whatsoever.

[lostinLDN]

lol.
i learned the advanced stuff over a period of health lunches. trust me, eating and learning about sex at the same time is not fun.

[popoberry]

sex ed was fun but my teacher was a dumbass !

[towntown2]

My sex ed was in 4th grade.
I went to a strict Christian school, so all they taught us was the reproductive organs and what each gender produces in order to make a baby.
I never knew what intercourse was until a couple of years ago.

[EmoEyelinerx]

Ours was pretty lame. If they said anything it was basic things that we already knew. They didnt really go into detail or anything, they didnt even explain the risks/std. I wasnt satasfied at all.

[heyyfrankie]

we didn't uhh have THAT much information about it. I guess my health teacher just figured thta we already knew everything anyways.

but uhhh i mean, all that we LEARNED IN DEPTH was the life cycle...and she told us to use condoms even if we're married.

that's basically it.

[weed]

There was no better sex-ed than my grandmas; little girl keep them legs closed or you'll have a head ache for 18 years!

[CrazyJellyBean]

9th grade, No sex ed, ,And Im not sure about my town but yea...

[Jeng]

I don't recall getting one in elementary school, but in 8th grade health, she talked about condoms and periods.

[Joss-eh-lime]

we got so much info..it was kind of TOO much.

like we got photos of infected genitals, videos of teenagers pregnancies, our teacher brought in actual contraceptives, and even flavored/speciality condoms! she took it a little far.

and since she was such a liberal she didn't stress abstinence, just birth control and whatnot.

[Crash2]

We had Sex Ed in my Health II class. The teacher did a really good job of covering a lot of the topics involved.

I remember all these videos and pictures and he even brought in a couple of speakers from the hospital and Planned Parenthood. The course was really informative and stuff, so I was satisfied and don't think that it was a waste of time (there were some who did)

[DeviantShadows]

I didn't have Sex Ed as an actual class, but it was tied in with Health. First time was in 7th grade, or maybe it was 8th; I can't remember. Despite the immaturity of the class (giggling, etc), everything was explained quite well.

11th grade: All forms of birth control and protection were discussed; we even had an abortion debate at one point. We were also shown pictures of STD infections. That's one way to get a bunch of teenagers to use protection or practice abstinence-- show them what a raging case of herpies looks like.....

[monxcheri]

the first time sex ed was taught was at the end of 6th grade. basically there was a movie shown on basic information about sex.

then the next time was in 9th grade. the class was informative; diseases and things were taught but contraceptives weren`t really talked about.

i live in PA but idk if it`s more democratic or republican.

[Jennifer]

The first time our class had Sex Ed, we went straight into everything and anything. Basically the teacher took any questions we asked AT ALL relating to sex.

Got a bit out of hand lol

Since then, it's been controlled :]

[VaeVictis]

Sex ed was quite good this year.

Learned about everything we should learn about, especially about STD's and contraceptives.

So yeah, I was happy with it.

Plus we had the hottest teacher in the school teach it to us.

She's not teaching us anymore though

[Jennifer]

Doesn't that suck! Hahah

I wish our hottest male teacher would have us for Sex Ed. But nooo he has to be our SOSE teacher.

[HakunaMatata]

Don't know if you're still looking for the information but;

In the fourth and fifth grades, we got basic, basic Sex Ed. Freshman year was when we got the whole enchilada. Lessons on abstinence, different contraceptives, STDs, etc. The most memorable part was practicing how to put a condom on...by putting it on a banana. Everything was strictly factual with some personal input from the instructors. Oh, and there was a PowerPoint with pictures! That was...interesting. :/

[pinacoolada]

I hated sex ed.
I had it in 9th grade for second sem.
We discussed everything from abstinence to different kinds of contraceptives, Dating violence, All about relationships, Stages of grief..and *shudder* STD's. And I had to do a power point on crabs and stuff...with pictures. Ugh.
