My Experience with sex ed...

I get my information about sex from:

School health or sex ed programsMagazinesInternet

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?

we never really talked about it, my mom just mentioned what sex was once and said she'd get more in details when im 15 im 16 now and hasnt said anything more

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:

• Menstruation • Wet dreams • Different kinds of sex • Pregnancy options • Abstinence • STDs • How to find a clinic

• Masturbation • 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 • 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

The most important...
If you are different you are not stupid or bad or anything.

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.

It is not cool to have sex young, it's your decision make the right one.

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?

getting contraseption to whoever needs it in school, we're teenagers we like to rebel i'm not saying it's ok to have sex with whoever, but if condoms where availible a lot of pregnancy would be prevented
