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.

Just to further threadjack...
Where I went to school, the horrors of teen pregnancy and STDs were dramatically played up, sex itself was taught in the most basic mechanical way by a stuttering and blushing teacher, and birth control was NOT discussed at all.
I'm not sure how each state does it, but sex ed in Utah is a joke. There are probably young girls here who think they are pregnant because their boyfriend fingered them.
And on another note...the poster never responded to anything posted here...perhaps her gas/alien/indigestion is gone??
