Did your school teach sex-education?

My school did for only 1 day and it just confused everyone and they literally told us to ask our parents. But my step-dad is uncomfortable talking about it and my mom wouldn’t talk about it either. What did you do? I just used any resource I could find and asked my friends tbh

No. Sex hadn't been invented when I was in school.

It was part of our Health classes.

Although it was boring as all get out - zygotes and gametes and fertilization.

Honestly I had received more information from my parents when I was in 7th grade.

They told me about the vagina - I knew about the penis - and I thought that was so gross and asked if there was any other way to have a kid. (they stifled a laugh)

I decided it wasn't all that gross a year or two later.
FreddieUK · 70-79, M
@Pretzel I'm glad someone else had that first early thought. You have to be ready to receive the information.
Pretzel · 70-79, M
@FreddieUK HA!
I remember being just a little I'll :)
I gave blow jobs in the boys room .Does that count?🥰

Sex hadn't been invented yet when I was in school, so it wasn't an issue.

Homework was the best

It was part of Health class and lasted a couple weeks usually.

Sex Ed was a 1 semester class they held in year 10. The teacher who taught it each year was notorious for giving C grades to everyone. And it was big joke around school when they discovered he had given me a A+ 😅.
It was all a bit superfluous as 3 of the girls in my class had gotten knocked up in middle school. Not by me 😅

UK here and yes we had sex education at the age of 11. (1976)

Started as a way to prepare us for the changes in puberty in the last year of junior school (10-11)
and carried on in biology lessons in 1st year (year 7) at secondary school.

Much discussion as to whether or not they should at the time. And one or two youngsters were withdrawn from those lessons either because parents didn't want the school to tell them for whatever reason, or because they didn't think their children should know at that time.

i remember putting condoms over bananas
SizEmUp · 26-30, M
@Madgirl well, only safe way to use them really😁
Degbeme · 70-79, M
I learned most of mine on street corners so to speak.
Jessmari · 46-50, T
Sex Ed was part of Health class in high school. It was a several week thing.
tallpowerhouseblonde · 36-40, F
We were taught sex education in Biology.The teacher had a wicked sense of humour and always taught it on open day when parents could come into the class room.
Bklynbadboy12 · 36-40, M
What do you want to know? You can ask here and get the answers you want
Bill67 · 56-60, M
No we learned from each other
FreddieUK · 70-79, M
@Bill67 Same...but as I was at an all boys school, we were learning in a vacuum - so to speak.
Bill67 · 56-60, M
@FreddieUK yes same as us
22Michelle · 70-79, T
I asked some guys abd I learned a lot, but it was a pain in the butt, thankfully.
Yes, they taught the girls mostly but did something else for the boys I think.

After that lots of parents in the following years started saying they didn't want their kids to be taught sex education...then were doing the whole "woe is me" when their kids were out there either making babies or getting pregnant.🙄 So dumb.

at your age?? sheesh

It was more like one class time like 90 minutes guys in one classroom girls in another classroom secrets were told that was it by the time we had it we pretty much knew all the ins and outs no pun intended
MasterLee · 56-60, M
Yeah it was a big joke
Northwest · M
Yes and it was a very comprehensive program, not focused on abstinence, even though it was a parochial school.

I'm still shocked when I see a 22-25 old who says they've had minimal sex ed at school.
MrAverage1965 · 61-69, M
It's many, many years since I was at as school and back then we got an hour on contraception during a biology class. That was it.
I thought things might have improved after all this time but it seems not.
SizEmUp · 26-30, M
It was a few days over two weeks. They actually had boys and girls go to different rooms for it. That just made us all get together to compare notes
SisterShadow · 18-21, F
they left out the whole fun part and only focused on the period cycle
Pretzel · 70-79, M
@SisterShadow They should teach the interpersonal stuff too - the politics of it - and how hormones make you crazy - that would have been helpful.
Justbegood · 31-35, M
We taught ourselves as the real stuff was so dry and out of date.
It focused more on getting aids and getting pregnant…
Fear mongering
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout You think the human health implications of AIDS and teenage pregnancy have been exaggerated?
@SunshineGirl
Did I say that? 🤔

All I said was what the focused on..
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
Our school taught what little was permitted by the Conservative government of the day. For any information that was of use to me, I relied upon the extra-curricular (and technically illegal) advice of our Methodist chaplain.
Kiesel · 56-60, M
Yes…. It was pretty basic and mostly anatomy based…
Tastyfrzz · 61-69, M
No, but that was back in the seventies.
All we heard about was the virgin birth of Jesus but had no idea what that meant.
UKNaturist · M
Briefly. I can remember squeals and laughter and the look on the teacher's face as he was telling us. However, all he explained was where everything went and not what you did once everything was in place
Subsumedpat · 41-45, M
No they did not teach it, parents did not say anything, learned some from girly magazines.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
Nope. Not even an attempt.
candycane · 36-40, F
