When I made the "inner lesbian" comment, while it was tongue-in-cheek, what I was thinking was this:
Is the teacher standing there saying, "If you are a boy(girl) and you feel sexually attracted to a boy(girl), that's ok! It's perfectly natural, you shouldn't feel that you are doing something wrong. Explore your feeling and don't let anyone tell you different."
Something along those lines.
Maybe these lessons should be moved out of the classroom and be held at a local hospital or other medical facility as a field trip, albeit mandatory. Have doctors and nurses present the material instead of teachers. This would help coat the topics in a more medical veil instead of an instructional one from the classroom. Doctors inherently feel comfortable with these topics anyway.
