My Experience with sex ed...

I get my information about sex from:

Friends

Please tell us where else you get information about sex.

the internet

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 awkward and gross. my dad bought up the converstaion and asked me if i ever engaged in sexual activites before.

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 • Menstruation • Wet dreams • Different kinds of sex • 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 know if your body is developing in a normal way

• Issues faced by gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, or questioning people • 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 • Rape and sexual assault

The most important...
they need to know the consequnces and effects of their actions

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.

i dont have a story

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 do anything that would be neccesary for 1000 dollars
