Sex Life, School Education

Even when sex education. It's a liberal and comprehensive it can confuse and embarrass students.

I remember people in my class speculating a lot about sexuality this topic was upmost on everyones brain. Our 'human development’ classes weren’t just about sex. They showed us videos about anorexia and drugs as well. The sex bits were mortifying one day I had to put a condom on a plastic penis in front the whole class. Everyone was giggling I suppose I could have said no, but that would have been even more embarrassing. 

Styles of sex education in schools vary enormously as does the curriculum. 

We did have sex education but you would have to hard pressed to know it was that. It involved a lot of coded warnings about temptation and the workings of the devil, We thought it was funny and tried to wind up the teachers of the flesh ‘Sir what exactly is irregular motion at the flesh?”. 

Sex education? They threw it all in with periods and deodorant, all one package. We got a box with a mini deodorant a giant Pad and a mini booklet explaining birth control and dated stuff like a sponge. Actually we received more sex education from the “Glove Affair" which was a themed dance we had at school. They had contests to put a condom on a penis with your mouth, and slides of different sex organs. We made a womb room so you could see inside a 

a womb like space that promoted masturbation versus abstaining from sex. Very different to other schools and actually we had a little teenage pregnancy in my school. I only heard of one girl getting pregnant and she was not shunned at all. 

Many adults view teenagers as their red faced horniness with disapproval and fear but I believe that if we provide proper education and instil in them a strong sense of self worth they will probably make reasonable decisions about sex. For example whether or not they're ready for certain types of experiences.

I went out with a Dutch boy whose parents were very liberal. They had no problem allowing us to sleep in the same bed in their flat and even fudged the issue with my parents. So I’d be allowed to stay even though we had permission and freedom to be sexual we did not have intercourse because I didn't feel ready.
