Today was quote day
My friend was confused about the job of the sperm and the egg (she thought all girls were eggs, for some stupid reason) so my other friend Chris explained it to her
Chris: It's like the women are the suitcases and the men are the clothes Laura: Then we should go and do some packing!
Also, with no one in the house other than us two..
Nicole: Oh FUCK YOU! Me: Who are you talking to? Nicole: The tea stain.

I'm worried about the state of the youth if 14 year olds don't understand reproduction.

yeah, that was my point, it's just... quite frightening, really. what are the parents doing?? they sit there and moan about all the teenage pregnancies and STI's on the up but they don't tell their kids what sperm does to a fucking egg?

It eats it. Our anatomy professor gave us (me: 16 years old, everyone else: 18 years old) the birds and the bees talk, because half the kids in our class didn't know how to put on a condom. In addition, this is after a federally-mandated health/sex education course. It worries me, a bit. So, I concur.

Oh man. Some idiot in my bio class last your got a 9% on the reproduction unit test. A FUCKING 9%. ON REPRODUCTION. IT'S THE EASIEST SHIT EVER. Even if you just completely guessed on every single question, probability should get you way more than 9 PERCENT out of like, 40 questions or so. Unless you put the wrong answers on purpose, but seeing that kid's other grades throughout the year, I wouldn't put getting a 9% a bit unintentionally past him. But on reproduction? Wow. What in the bloody hell.

i went to a catholic school so my sex education was basically "abstain abstain abstain and if by any chance you do get pregnant DO NOT HAVE AN ABORTION OR GOD WILL SMITE YOU AND YOU WILL DIE" type thing, but my mum had always been open and honest with me about anything sex related and answered any and all questions i had... failing that, there was always the internet. in no way was i going to ask my halfwit friends who thought that lying on top of a boy fully clothed made you have a bun in the oven. whatever. they've all got multiple children now anyway, a+ catholicism.

I went to a secular state school where they were more concerned with bumming Ofsted than telling us about sex education. But of course, because it was a state school the teachers that were (trying) to teach us about sex in Biology lessons were just fucking the pupils at lunch time.
Ah the system works!

the only sex education we've had is:
"THIS IS SYPHILLIS, HERE IS A PICTURE, LOOK ISN'T IT LOVELY!"
for about 5 weeks on the trot

haha jonathan, you didn't go to ctc did you??? the only sex education we've had is: "THIS IS SYPHILLIS, HERE IS A PICTURE, LOOK ISN'T IT LOVELY!" for about 5 weeks on the trot this would've been preferable to what we had, seeing as most of the girls in our year were slags who didn't know what condoms were and were undoubtedly ridden with all kinds of stuff. i know for a fact one girl even now never uses protection besides the pill and wonders why urinating has been painful for the past year.

In which, according to reports from someone I know, I'll get to see pictures of infected vaginas that look like cottage cheese!! JOY!!! I too went to a catholic elementary school. But I learned somewhat about sex by the time I was in 4th grade because I would just go to the library and get out books on the human body and teach myself about parts 'n stuff. And then later the mechanics of sex were learned from friends who I guess weren't afraid to ask their parents, and then finally in 5th grade we had a little learn-about-puberty session in which more was explained. And then, of course, I went off to a public school, in which I got to watch a video that featured a close-up shot of a baby emerging from the birth canal and also got to hear a breif explaination of what an orgasm is because my friend just HAD to ask the teacher... Oh, these are such good memories!

I will always remember the description of orgasms provided by our 6th grade science book: "This gives the woman happy feelings in her body."
Personally, I always felt short-changed that we never got to do the condom-on-the-banana thing. The rest of our education was pretty comprehensive, though. I just worry about these other schools you guys are discussing. My brother made it to seventeen still thinking you could re-use condoms...

Catholic school! My teachers were not allowed to talk about any contraceptives except "Family Planning" which led my grade 8 teacher to explain how family planning is good and he and his wife have found it effective. Err.....he didn't mean to sound creepy, but yeah. ha. So no worries, Meryl, I never got to do the condom-on-a-banana thing, either. I skipped watching the birth and abortion videos....no thanks. Catholic school kids miss out on all the important lessons.

I just worry about these other schools you guys are discussing. My brother made it to seventeen still thinking you could re-use condoms... We used an anatomical model. I've never done the banana thing through school, but my manboy made sure I knew how to put on a condom. That quote is made of win-- my anatomy text says (for guys) "ejaculation is associated with intensely pleasurable sensations, an experience known as the orgasm." And then for women it adds in something about peristaltic contractions of the uterine and vaginal walls, and muscle contractions. I'd never even thought of reusing condoms. I just remember (this is a bit TMI-y) the first time I ever slept with a guy and how I was befuddled about the lack of cum-- it just didn't seem like a lot, for all of the evils it was meant to do. Okay, I just looked it up-- it's only 2-5 mL. Another interesting topic of discussion is the female condom-- I tried it out once, for kicks and giggles (plus, they're allegedly safer than dental dams for lesbian sex with finger play/oral, although I'm not sure how much I believe that) and seemed as if it was made of black garbage bag material, it felt (really crinkly and not terribly pleasant). /end TMI and Katie's misgivings about protection.

My parents have never spoken to me about sex (other than the obligatory 'don't sleep with just ANYONE you hussy' from my mother), I learned everything from school (which was quite extensive and well-structured - no 'condom on the banana' though), TV and friends.
People are going to have sex underage no matter what, the only thing parents/schools can do is ensure they have all the facts and information so they can make an informed decision and will know what to do if there are 'consequences'; which is why I've never understood the notion that people who have explicit sex education are obviously going to go out and sleep around from the age of 10.

I think the whole banana thing was a myth created by movies.

our school was pretty thourough with the sex ed, even in primary school we got a very simplistic view, then again i think having 2 older siblings meant i was exposed to much more adult television etc.
we even got to do the condomn and banana thing, except it was a model not a banana. we used to find sex ed hilarious, the german teacher took ours and everyone would read the little pamphlets out in different accents, mmm immature
