My Experience with sex ed...

I get my information about sex from:

School health or sex ed programsTVInternet

Please tell us where else you get information about sex.

In one sentence, tell us what your first time talking with your parent(s)/guardian(s) about sex was like? Who started the conversation?

It was the most weirdest thing that I thought that I would ever have to do. I didn't like it at all. My aunt started the conversation.

What do YOU think sex ed classes for teens should talk about? What was covered in your sex ed class? What do you wish was covered in your sex ed class?


WAS covered in my sex ed: SHOULD BE covered in my sex ed:

• Masturbation • Wet dreams • Different kinds of sex • Pregnancy options • Abstinence • STDs • How to talk to your partner about sex • How to decide if you're ready for sex • How to talk to your partner about birth control or safer sex • How to figure out if your relationship is healthy or not

• Masturbation • Menstruation • Wet dreams • Different kinds of sex • Issues faced by gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, or questioning people • How to figure out your sexual feelings for someone of your same gender • Fingering and hand jobs • Pregnancy options • Abstinence • Abstinence as the only acceptable choice for teens • STDs • How to talk to your partner about sex • How to decide if you're ready for sex • How to talk to your parents about sex • How to talk to your partner about birth control or safer sex • How to figure out if your relationship is healthy or not • How to manage online flirting and dating • Rape and sexual assault • How to know if your body is developing in a normal way • How to find a clinic

The most important...
About how much you and your partner should talk before doing anything and being protected.

Do you have a story that you think should be on Sex, Etc. because it would help other teens? Write it here, and you and your story may be featured on the Web site.

If Sex, Etc. gave you $1,000 dollars to help teens get access to honest, medically accurate and balanced information about human sexuality and to help teens make responsible choices about sexual health, what would YOU do?

I would have classes in every school. After school programs.
