I actually discussed this with another Aussie and we were both kinda amazed with how often these threads seem to crop up.
Just for my own curiosity how does sexual education work where you all are?
Over here (in my state atleast) we do classes on sex ed from age's 10 - 15 and every year we cover puberty, mestruation, sperm production and pregnancy / STI risks. By the time we're 13 they have us practicing putting condoms on model penises (would that be penii?). Ofcourse I can't say how many actually pay attention with the current stats on early pregnancy and STI's caught at a young age but the information is made available unless parents specifically retract their children from those sections of the course. They don't even bother trying to promote abstinence anymore that I know of.
