Abstinence-only education does not lead to abstinent behavior

[not your typical...]

Oh yea, I remember watching that earlier this year. I didn't find it bad at all. I freaked everybody out in my class because I was eating during the whole move.

Now it's not so bad, but when it's a bunch of 10-12 year olds, first thing in the morning, and that's exactly how they learn about sex, yeah, it's a bit scaring...

My dad used to be an OB doctor, and my favorite pass time when I was really little was looking through his medical school books. So, I kinda got desensitized to that stuff pretty quick.

Ahhh. Yeah, we had no clue about anything involving parts below the belt. Now if you asked us what kind of vodka to get, that was a completely different story. But less than a year later, most were having sex, completely forgetting the fear we had prior.

I'm surprised the hysterical fringe didn't land on your school like a ton of bricks.  What all goes into the sex ed at your school?

They gave us videos. Lost of them. One had cats on a quilt. Seeing orange cats still scares me to this day... Ever heard of the Miracle of Life video? Basically, it's a camera shoved up some woman that shows everything from ejaculation to birth. The first time we watched it was in 6th grade, and while we were hysterical then, by 7th grade all was forgotten cuz they started giving us condoms. Since we were in a middle school that was joined with a high school and they knew the high-schoolers were very.... persuasive, they figured it was a good safety measure. Some of my most scaring memories were from 7th grade... We learned positions. *shudders*

Hm, maybe it depends on location, whether the hysterics attack your sex ed program or not.  I think I remember seeing that "ejaculation to birth" thing on NOVA.

We had no clue what we were getting into. I think so long as you have a basic idea of what sex is, you should be fine. We didn't so we were not.
