Not good. I went to a catholic school. We were told what sex was, why abstinence is important, and then we got to view graphic cartoons of disease-ridden genitalia.
It was fine I guess. Since I’ve graduated the government expanded it massively, included new topics like homosexuality, gender identity, consent, the proper names for body parts, puberty, online safety, and started it much earlier, in grade 1.
The best I got for sex ed was an alternative school in Idaho that tried to tell me that condoms have micro-holes that allow stds and pregnancy and aren’t effective for preventing either. No solutions without Jee-zuz!
They skipped it probably cuz of the awkwardness but I will never know and I couldn’t even answer the questions on the test from this section cuz I didn’t know it existed. How is Drugs and Alcohol, Society and Marital problems normal to teach and talk about but not teaching whatever is a period, adolescence, sex and pregnancy. (Funny thing is I failed to answer the questions from this part cuz Idk about these stuff in my language only from films and internet in English)
Never had. I once remember having reproduction chapter in 9th grade. The teacher skipped the whole chapter, cuz the students started howling just on the mention of reproduction. Crazy.
In the 80s I had a sex ed teacher who got fired (later rehired with reprimand) for showing us how to use a condom on a banana! He also passed out various forms of birth control to look at. He was progressive for the time and it was not an especially conservative area, just different times.
A woman got in front of our class and talked about the time she met a random guy she met online and he ended up SA’ing her. Then she asked a friend to picture Beyoncé naked, then to imagine touching her, only to find GENITAL WARTS. Then there was a graphic story about having her period in the ocean and her boyfriend wanting to have sex with her while on her period, but that she didn’t let him finish because she didn’t want to be pregnant. And then we watched a film about abstinence and talked about “saying no.” It was so weird and uncomfortable and very Bible-belty.
Mine was alright. We took it at least two years in highschool. They explained the biology and anatomy behind sex and how one actually becomes pregnant, different methods of contraception and how to use them. The dangers of std’s. We watched a video of a baby being born. All in all I think for an early 2000’s highschool we had a pretty decent and open course.
Well, compared to all of the comments, mine was great!
When we were ‘younger’ we learned the basics en biology, also STD’s and all. When we were little older they told us more about the biology, like hormones and stuf. They also told us about the emotional side of sex, whenever it came up. And how not to get abused. I remember one teacher telling us; ‘and having blue balls is nothing he can’t take care of himself, don’t let him convince you you have to finish it once you started it.’
Also in other classes sex was sometimes mentioned, but never in a inappropriate way.
I feel the sex education I got in my school system was outstanding. When we were young we learned the biological side of it, sure.
But I have distinct memories of my grade 8 teacher talking about many other sides of it. I remember one vivid lesson about the “man in the canoe”, consent, and boundaries. Taught us that sex could be fun and it shouldn’t be seen as a way for a man to have power over a woman. (which lets be real here, these kids growing up with Tate can’t make their girls cum.)
I had a healthy understanding of sex before I was involved in it which lead to making ‘good’ choices as a 16 year old boy.
Edit: for context, man in his mid-30s who grew up in Northern Canada
I used to lie in bed and listen to love line with doctor drew. It really helped having people ask the stupid questions you wanted answered as a teenager.
Surprisingly good. In primary school the girls had a day about periods the boys about sperm (we were 11 but I wished boys were educated about periods too). In high school we learned much more about diseases, the cycle and anatomy.
Here’s the best part- I didn’t have sex ed in school. Still don’t know much about any of that stuff except the basics I had to learn from my text book. Hell, I didn’t even have the “birds and the bees” talk as a kid. I’m still unaware of my own body, seriously. I had no idea what circumcision or foreskin was until I got curious when I was 17 and tried to pull mine. Still cringe about that when I remember the sharp stinging I had for days.
It was pretty informative. Started in 7th grade. They explained puberty and anatomy and what parts do. They explained reproduction. We didn’t even get into diseases until high school. We also had a pretty great DARE program.
It wasn’t bad. I got a book that explained the physiological changes that happen during puberty, understanding mood swings and hormones. Male and female anatomy (including where the clitoris is!) I shared how we shouldn’t be ashamed of sex and puberty, as it’s all natural. I taught how to be safe and dispelled common myths about sex.
The main problem was…I was only in 5th grade. Our school didn’t teach much about it other than this is a condom, sex is bad, don’t do it. The end.
We learned about deodorant, hygiene and puberty. There was no “This is how babies are made.” Mr. Lamont, who was my schools art/music teacher, was tasked with teaching us boys about all of that. This guy, who would’ve been in his mid 60’s in 2001-02, straight up told us he was gonna skip a lot because there was a lot he didn’t like or agree with, lmao.
I think proper sex Ed came later, through health class and learning about human anatomy. The knowledge just kinda Trojan-horsed it’s way in.
Actually, not bad for a UK Catholic school in the 00s. They taught us about puberty, the ins and outs (haha) of genitalia, that sex often led to babies, and that protection was a thing. Also a little about consent. Though there was little to nothing about the LGBT spectrum.
Great! 5th grade we went on the “sex field trip” as us youths called it. Very anatomy based. Next day they separated the girls & boys & went into more depth about periods & such along with sending us home with a bag of things like pads & tampons. I can’t remember if condoms were in it or not.
8th grade health class-Anatomy, stages of pregnancy, birth control options, diseases, etc.
bad. they basically shamed us into all signing abstinence until marriage pledges. I always used to think that was ridiculous because it was unrealistic , but now that I think about it, it’s also terrible because it pretends that all the unwanted stuff that comes from pre marital sex will be fine and okay after marriage. Having a surprise pregnancy isn’t always good news after marriage either.
It was a full day where they separated the boys and girls. It was basically the health teachers’ Super Bowl.
We had portable classrooms so the boys and girls passed each other going to that room and it was DRAMA because apparently a boy threw up watching a child birth video.
I’m 34 and not pregnant and we didn’t have any teen pregnancies (to my knowledge) so I guess okay. I’m in MA.
Very “clinical”. Split us into girls and boys and gave us some facts, puberty, sex and contraception but purely factual and as dispassionate as possible. No mention of even the existence of any alternative to the hetero, monogamous “sex after marriage” worldview.
Had two rounds of sex ed: one in a Catholic elementary school, the other in a non-denominational Christian high school. Despite the usual trends of Christian sex ed curriculum both classes were pretty well structured, totally educational, and didn’t have much religion shoehorned into the lessons. Mainly consisted of here’s what’s in your pants, here are the organs of the reproductive system, and here’s how it works.
Mine was ok, pretty solid week or 2 on the two anatomies, animated pictures, an intro on diseases and how to prevent them. Worst part though was they had a young pretty senior tell the class how much sex hurt her when she lost her virginity. That actually kind of fucked me up for a bit, but I’ll admit it did probably postpone some of the sexual activities.
At one point we were discussing different types of contraception and the teacher was spinning a diaphragm on their finger like a toy and accidently flung it across the room where it beaned some girl right on the forehead.
Went to a public school but our sex ed was basically that scene from Mean Girls where the gym teacher says “Don’t have sex. You will get pregnant and die”. The health class was even taught by a gym teacher.
Just to demonstrate how bad it was, my best friend is a lesbian and she said she felt like she might end up becoming a teen mom with how bad our sex ed was.
Welsh school in the 80s. We had a temp teacher while our usual one was ill. Think was biology. She gave us quite a graphic sex education presentation. Nobody said anything for like an hour. She then looked worried and asked us how old we were. Turned out she gave us the lesson that like 15 years old got. We were 11. She looked like she was going to have a breakdown. We never got another sex education lesson. We may have dissected frogs or rats, but I can’t remember if that was related.
Anyway I became a monk then a vicar… Hah, no just kidding. I’m fine. Have a wife and everything, and have had sex at least once 😉 To be fair I don’t have kids. You do fuck their ears right?
I remember learning abour STD’S, Pregnancy, female and male anatomy, how periods work, and how condoms work, and how to have safe sex. I was pretty lucky to receive all of that, and yet, the thing I remember most was we got grouped up and had to make board games based off of what we learned
Mine wasn’t bad, had a great science teacher that year. They separated the boys and the girls, first day was on general reproduction and reproductive anatomy. Second day was what was happening to us (the boys) during puberty, what to expect, using protection, using deodorant, etc. Third day was like what to report on if or when an adult was being inappropriate towards you. It really helpful. We all got to ask anonymous questions, too, which was nice, as you can imagine with a room full of 5th graders, some silly shit was asked lol
Ours consisted of: dont hav sex outside of marriage because that makes god angry, if you have sex outside of marriage, dont use protection, because that makes god angry, ig uo have a kid, bring them here so that they can be raised in the church. Oh, and dont do butt stuff!
Mine was alright, they taught a lot about the importance safe sex and how to avoid UTI’s and STD’s. Also how pregnancy works and some other stuff. I also live in the Northeast.
I went to UK state school and tbh it was alright. Got the talk about periods when we were ~10 and then actual sex/contraception stuff from like 13 onwards. We got taught about a bunch of different kinds of contraception and a whole bit about consent (idk if anyone else here saw the ‘consent is like tea’ video but I’m sure it’s on YT—worth a watch).
I vividly remember the teacher passing out blue foam penises and we took it in turns to practice putting on condoms 😂
It consisted of one class period in freshman year where two med students volunteered to give us the basics (slideshow on STDs, condom over the banana, you know the drill). They were obviously not comfortable talking about that kind of stuff with 14-15 year old kids, but because they were rushing through it they ended way too early and had to fill up the rest of the time answering any questions we had.
I asked if it was okay to jerk off with hand sanitizer and if it would make my penis immune to STDs because sanitizer kills 99.9% of germs. I also got detention that day.
6th grade gym class filmstrip in a suburb of Chicago in 1985 was much more educational than a semester of ‘Health’ in 11th grade in a small town in Texas in 1990.
We didn’t need to learn that Tab A can fit in Slot B, but the number of idiots I knew in TX that thought douching with Coke could prevent pregnancy or that jerking off turned you gay was shocking.
Parents – ‘Then there fancy schools don’t need to learn my kids that stuff, that’s our responsibility!
Kid gets pregnant, an STD, or severe case of toxic shock from douching with a bottle of soda.
Parents – ‘Why did the schools let this happen?!?’
EDIT – Plenty of girls would take sudden ‘two week vacations’ to see an aunt that no one ever heard of that lived in a large, much more liberal city a couple hundred miles away.
A few girls would transfer to another school for a year and then return with a new ‘baby sister’ or ‘baby brother.’
Didn’t really exist. I went to a charter school. My parents sex Ed was shit. Had a long talk with my dad which went over the basic functions for a few minutes then another hour or two where he told me how sex out of marriage would ruin my life, give me STDs (with pictures), and no one would want to marry me. You guessed it, I grew up in the evangelical purity culture 🎉
It was decent in canada, we got taught as early as 3rd or 4th grade iirc what sex, reproduction, stds were, which for whatever reason people seem to think teaching elementary students is too early these days? but seriously once you hit middle school its too late as teen moms become a thing. I will say however we had a program called “wings of empathy” or some thing like that in 3rd grade where a new mom would come in with a baby and teach us all about babies, then we got “baby” dolls we had to take care of. That has been the most effective thing at making me not want a child I’ve ever experienced. It was supposed to accomplish the opposite and make babies seem “cute” and “normal”. NOPE. As a 9 year year old I never wanted to climb the walls and escape a class so badly.
My teacher picked the most “too cool for school” dude in the class, and laid a full scene. “You flirt with a girl for weeks, trying to convince her to come over to your place a give you a little something. She finally agrees. You manage to get her alone and away from your parents. She strips down to her underwear… you start making out. Things are hot and heavy, and your moment finally arrives. You take off your shirt. You undo your belt, and now is the big moment. You undo your pants and pull them down… AND SHE STARTS LAUGHING! She gets to laughing so hard that she begins crying she finds it so funny because you are a 13-year-old kid with such a tiny willy that no girl will ever take you seriously compared to what they’ve probably seen on the internet. She immediately tells all of her friends, and now you are the guy who almost had sex, but you tiny penis got laughed at. Don’t have sex until you’re older. It will be terrible. Now head over to station 1 where I’ll show you how to change a diaper…”
My teacher drew Sid face from ice age as a sketch before drawing an accurate uterus. Great guy with a great sense of humour moat of the time. He did show us a power point of STDs which wasn’t fun but informative.
Comments
I did the same post a few days ago but the comments that I got shocked me so I decided to do the post again so that I can hear some more perspectives
It was mediocre at best
Like Monty Python, only more so
No idea. I don’t even remember it. All I know is I did not heed much of the advice and rolled the dice too many times. Got lucky.
Well considering my football 🏈 coach was the one to teach it it was a day that we had it and that was it.
Terrible. Super religious private school. didn’t know what men had down there until hooking up with my 1st boyfriend.
Not good. I went to a catholic school. We were told what sex was, why abstinence is important, and then we got to view graphic cartoons of disease-ridden genitalia.
It was fine I guess. Since I’ve graduated the government expanded it massively, included new topics like homosexuality, gender identity, consent, the proper names for body parts, puberty, online safety, and started it much earlier, in grade 1.
I learned way more from high school guys than from high school class
The best I got for sex ed was an alternative school in Idaho that tried to tell me that condoms have micro-holes that allow stds and pregnancy and aren’t effective for preventing either. No solutions without Jee-zuz!
It basically consisted of showing us pictures of diseased genetalia. The whole curriculum was, if you have sex you’ll catch a disease and die.
We got the fake robot babies that cry all the time and that was enough birth control for me to never want to get pregnant until I was 30.
It wasn’t, cuz politicians from my country think that it somehow demoralizes kids
I went to high school in Texas. So basically, it was “have sex and you will DIE”.
Penis
Vagina
Reproductive Systems
Course over
They skipped it probably cuz of the awkwardness but I will never know and I couldn’t even answer the questions on the test from this section cuz I didn’t know it existed. How is Drugs and Alcohol, Society and Marital problems normal to teach and talk about but not teaching whatever is a period, adolescence, sex and pregnancy. (Funny thing is I failed to answer the questions from this part cuz Idk about these stuff in my language only from films and internet in English)
Never had. I once remember having reproduction chapter in 9th grade. The teacher skipped the whole chapter, cuz the students started howling just on the mention of reproduction. Crazy.
We were taught by a middle aged fat gym teacher circumcised kids had cleaner penises
In the 80s I had a sex ed teacher who got fired (later rehired with reprimand) for showing us how to use a condom on a banana! He also passed out various forms of birth control to look at. He was progressive for the time and it was not an especially conservative area, just different times.

Also in other classes sex was sometimes mentioned, but never in a inappropriate way.
My teacher did put a condom on a broom and the condom broke. So I guess not that well.
Canada, public school.

“You will learn this next year”
one year later
“You should have learned this last year…anyway..”
So fuck around and find out
The only memorable thing was when they gathered a bunch of 13/14 year olds from different schools to the town hall.
A man got up and spoke in a big hall.
“Women are like ovens, you have to preheat”
“Men are like microwaves”
That’s all I remember. Good advice but maybe the wrong time.
I waa homeschooled and it was a mother fucker
The whole class went out to the football fields and screamed ‘PENIS’ and ‘VAGINA’ over and over until we no longer laughed everytime someone said it.
Middle schoolers are immature
Sex Ed was a required class for my major in college and it was very informative
Student loans fucked me good and hard for years
It was pretty informative. Started in 7th grade. They explained puberty and anatomy and what parts do. They explained reproduction. We didn’t even get into diseases until high school. We also had a pretty great DARE program.
It was basically: sex is bad don’t do it. But when you marry have all the sex.
It wasn’t bad. I got a book that explained the physiological changes that happen during puberty, understanding mood swings and hormones. Male and female anatomy (including where the clitoris is!) I shared how we shouldn’t be ashamed of sex and puberty, as it’s all natural. I taught how to be safe and dispelled common myths about sex.

Wait, you had sex education at school?
Nurse taught us how to wank and told us that it’s fine to do. Fucking legend, the teacher was red as fuck
Actually, not bad for a UK Catholic school in the 00s. They taught us about puberty, the ins and outs (haha) of genitalia, that sex often led to babies, and that protection was a thing. Also a little about consent. Though there was little to nothing about the LGBT spectrum.

8th grade health class-Anatomy, stages of pregnancy, birth control options, diseases, etc.
Sophomore year health class- same thing.
bad. they basically shamed us into all signing abstinence until marriage pledges. I always used to think that was ridiculous because it was unrealistic , but now that I think about it, it’s also terrible because it pretends that all the unwanted stuff that comes from pre marital sex will be fine and okay after marriage. Having a surprise pregnancy isn’t always good news after marriage either.
They didn’t even teach us how to make women squirt or about the importance of the prostate in male multiple orgasm. You call that an education?
It was a full day where they separated the boys and girls. It was basically the health teachers’ Super Bowl.
We had portable classrooms so the boys and girls passed each other going to that room and it was DRAMA because apparently a boy threw up watching a child birth video.
I’m 34 and not pregnant and we didn’t have any teen pregnancies (to my knowledge) so I guess okay. I’m in MA.
UK, Late 80s and early 90s kid.
Very “clinical”. Split us into girls and boys and gave us some facts, puberty, sex and contraception but purely factual and as dispassionate as possible. No mention of even the existence of any alternative to the hetero, monogamous “sex after marriage” worldview.
Atrocious, because I’m American
I know how to protect a cucumber 😂 one lesson is all we got
Had two rounds of sex ed: one in a Catholic elementary school, the other in a non-denominational Christian high school. Despite the usual trends of Christian sex ed curriculum both classes were pretty well structured, totally educational, and didn’t have much religion shoehorned into the lessons. Mainly consisted of here’s what’s in your pants, here are the organs of the reproductive system, and here’s how it works.
Decent enough- diseases, contraception, development of our bodies and of a baby. Could have used more on the subject of consent.
what education?
Mine was ok, pretty solid week or 2 on the two anatomies, animated pictures, an intro on diseases and how to prevent them. Worst part though was they had a young pretty senior tell the class how much sex hurt her when she lost her virginity. That actually kind of fucked me up for a bit, but I’ll admit it did probably postpone some of the sexual activities.
At one point we were discussing different types of contraception and the teacher was spinning a diaphragm on their finger like a toy and accidently flung it across the room where it beaned some girl right on the forehead.
I got sent to the Principals office for asking if Sex Ed was a lab.
Went to a public school but our sex ed was basically that scene from Mean Girls where the gym teacher says “Don’t have sex. You will get pregnant and die”. The health class was even taught by a gym teacher.
Just to demonstrate how bad it was, my best friend is a lesbian and she said she felt like she might end up becoming a teen mom with how bad our sex ed was.
Welsh school in the 80s. We had a temp teacher while our usual one was ill. Think was biology. She gave us quite a graphic sex education presentation. Nobody said anything for like an hour.

We kind of didn’t have any. In South Africa you have a subject named Life Orientation. You learn about AIDS. That’s all. Have sex = get AIDS
Ours consisted of: dont hav sex outside of marriage because that makes god angry, if you have sex outside of marriage, dont use protection, because that makes god angry, ig uo have a kid, bring them here so that they can be raised in the church. Oh, and dont do butt stuff!
Abstinence
CA mid 2010s: mostly focused on safe sex but ignored that gay people existed
Mine was alright, they taught a lot about the importance safe sex and how to avoid UTI’s and STD’s. Also how pregnancy works and some other stuff. I also live in the Northeast.
I went to UK state school and tbh it was alright. Got the talk about periods when we were ~10 and then actual sex/contraception stuff from like 13 onwards. We got taught about a bunch of different kinds of contraception and a whole bit about consent (idk if anyone else here saw the ‘consent is like tea’ video but I’m sure it’s on YT—worth a watch).
I vividly remember the teacher passing out blue foam penises and we took it in turns to practice putting on condoms 😂
It consisted of one class period in freshman year where two med students volunteered to give us the basics (slideshow on STDs, condom over the banana, you know the drill). They were obviously not comfortable talking about that kind of stuff with 14-15 year old kids, but because they were rushing through it they ended way too early and had to fill up the rest of the time answering any questions we had.
I asked if it was okay to jerk off with hand sanitizer and if it would make my penis immune to STDs because sanitizer kills 99.9% of germs. I also got detention that day.
6th grade gym class filmstrip in a suburb of Chicago in 1985 was much more educational than a semester of ‘Health’ in 11th grade in a small town in Texas in 1990.
We didn’t need to learn that Tab A can fit in Slot B, but the number of idiots I knew in TX that thought douching with Coke could prevent pregnancy or that jerking off turned you gay was shocking.
Parents – ‘Then there fancy schools don’t need to learn my kids that stuff, that’s our responsibility!
Kid gets pregnant, an STD, or severe case of toxic shock from douching with a bottle of soda.
Parents – ‘Why did the schools let this happen?!?’
EDIT – Plenty of girls would take sudden ‘two week vacations’ to see an aunt that no one ever heard of that lived in a large, much more liberal city a couple hundred miles away.
A few girls would transfer to another school for a year and then return with a new ‘baby sister’ or ‘baby brother.’
Only the ‘poor’ girls ever got pregnant.
A lot of theory, ot enough practice.
They lied to me, I was told that there would be people who would be willing to have sex with me.
Didn’t really exist. I went to a charter school. My parents sex Ed was shit. Had a long talk with my dad which went over the basic functions for a few minutes then another hour or two where he told me how sex out of marriage would ruin my life, give me STDs (with pictures), and no one would want to marry me.

This woman was a legend. I’ll never forget her.
