Sex Education

[Guest Smues]

Sex education seems like a hot topic these days, so I was curious what other people here went through. Note that I put this in general chat and not CS or LS&D.

 

Sex ed in Spokane school district 81 started in 4th grade, and continued through freshmen year of high school (9th grade.) Even in high school they still separated the boys from the girls when it came time for sex ed. They mentioned a million times that abstinance was the only 100% way to prevent pregnancy and disease, and obviously pushed for abstinance, but they also covered all kinds of birth control, and specifically spent a lot of time covering condom use. Teacher: Heat damages condoms, so where do you NOT want to keep a condom?

Student (dead seriously) In the microwave?

Teacher: ........................

And I remember all us 4th graders giggling at the kid who asked were all the sperm went when you came in a condom. In retrospect it was a valid question.

 

We only watched a couple of films, but the ones we did watch still stick in my mind. In 6th grade we had to watch this film called 'Boys Beware' about boys getting molested. It had three different 'scenerios', but I only remember two of them. The first one some kid was having his birthday party and a bunch of boys were over. While the kids are wrestling the kids dad,uncle, somebody, tells them they can wrestle but they'll get their clothes dirty, so they'd better wrestle naked. Then he pulls out the video camera. Yeah, that was fucked up. The other one I remember was a kid helping his uncle paint the house or do something like that outside. He goes inside to cool off and take a shower, and the uncle comes walking in 'Hey let me join you' and opens the shower door. I can't even remember what the 3rd one was but that video still scares me. What really made it not fair was they un-seperated the class so the girls got to watch it, but we never got to watch Girls Beware which, if it exists, would surely be entertaining. I also hated it because I had to watch it while sitting at the teachers desk, because before the film started a whole bunch of text pops up on the screen, with statistics about boys being raped and molested, and one stat pops up that says something like "X number of boys will be molested today" and the kid sitting next to me says 'Coming attractions!' I couldn't stop laughing after that and thus the teacher yelled at me and made me go back and sit with him. Hmm, BOYS BEWARE!

 

The other memorable video was on testicular cancer and we watched it in high school. They combined all the health classes for that period in the room, so we had like 50 boys in there at once watching this thing, while the girls watched the one on breast cancer, and I've never heard a more in unison groan then when they just suddenly, and I mean suddenly and unexpectedly, cut to an extreme close-up on some dudes nutsack. They stay zoomed in for awhile and they show you how to check for cancer, but man that sudden jump cut caught everyone off-guard. I would've rather seen the girls version, I wonder if it had a sudden cut to someone's rack. On the upside the film provided a great laugh at this scene.

 

Son: ...Dad, I've found a bump.

 

Dad: Where?

 

Son:...On my nut.

 

So what'd you guys/gals have? And what 'hilarious' antics did you witness? And what films did you watch? Surely someone else was subjected to Boys Beware and it wasn't just me.

 

Edit: How I forgot this video I don't know. Another one I remember had some kid have a wet dream, so to cover up the stain he starts pouring ketchup and mustards and everything he can find onto the bed and mixing it up.

I can't really remember any of the sex education stuff we watched, since it was so long ago. In high school we watched a video on abortion, and the day before the video was going to be shown, someone in class asked if we could bring popcorn.

In my 9th grade sex ed. class, my teacher was this old black dude named Mr. Bowman that got caught masturbating under the desk whilst the sex ed. videos were playing. He wasn't fired either. He just showed up the next day in class like nothing ever happened. Weird.

Sex education should probably begin much earlier than high school

I went to Catholic school so sex ed. was done from a purely biological standpoint. We didn't cover contraception at all. It's pretty ridiculous looking back on it.

That's just creepy.

It was either 7th or 8th grade; regardless, we were taught by one of the gym coaches. He was a crusty WWII vet with a fondness for neon socks—he had three or four different pairs he'd alternate each day—who said that not using a condom was akin to going into the bush without a helmet, where some Jap would blow your goddamn head off. That was a quote, for what it's worth.

There was one video which showed a diagram with a guy going from a limp penis to a boner right before vagina insertion, and all the boys in class said "boiiiiing." Other than that, all I remember was staring at the legs of this one chick seated a few rows down from me and wishing they were wrapped around my head. This was in seventh grade, for those keeping score at home.

[Giuseppe Zangara 0]

I just remembered that my story was definitely seventh grade, as eighth grade was the year where I took a not unrelated health class, wherein we were taught abortion was the murder of an innocent child. Which, in turn, sparked a lot of media coverage after our school was threatened with a lawsuit for doing so.

Our school was named best in the country for 'Personal and Social Education' which included sex ed, and I remember enjoying the discussions and stuff, and being praised highly at parent's evenings, but that's all.

[Guest Smues]

Another thing I just remembered was lucking out and being sick (strep throat, uck) and missing school the day they showed some video on sexual diseases. Everyone who saw it said it was the most digusting thing they'd ever seen, and I remember they were all quite tramatized, something to do with someone having clamydia in their eye or something like that.

something to do with someone having clamydia in their eye or something like that.

 

Skull fucking?

[Copper Feel 0]

We were taught via a video by the name of 'Your Germs Ain't Nice'. I think that was the highlight. I'd have more to say if this was about anti-drug education.

Boys have penis', and Girls have vaginas.

ABSTAIN OR HELL!

ABSTAIN OR HELL!

 

Catholic school?

In 8th grade, we had two buckets. One had a penis on it, the other a vagina. If you had a question for the opposite sex you would put a piece of paper with said question on it in the bucket. Someone asked the teacher "what happens if you put a penis into the vagina?". Tee hee.

[CanadianChris 0]

In eighth grade, we had a creepy old guy named Mr. Wallace who started by asking the class to define a bunch of body parts. The first one was "anus." Uncomfortable silence, then Mr. Wallace disgustedly said, "It's the opening to the rectum!" and refused to teach us any more that class. We were all pretty grateful for that.

Heh, I had a teacher fitting the same description, name too, in 7th grade.

 

He stuttered on the key words; penis, vagina, sex.

[Guest Tzar Lysergic]

Didn't tell me anything I already didn't know. Every subsequent time, I forged my mom's signature excusing me and went outside to smoke.

 

Sub-thread: Did anyone else have BIBLE TRAILER?? I swear I'm not making it up. To put into perspective the level of hillbilly factory town school district I grew up in, every Wednesday, they'd tow this trailer in to the perimiter of the school property line, and have a class where kids colored pictures of jesus and noah's ark, and sang bible songs. That's where I honed my forgery skills.

Think Mr. Mackey from South Park teaching SexEd.

 

Very akward in 6th grade.

That actually sounds like pretty good sex ed.

 

My fiancee's health teacher told her class that all they needed to know about AIDS was to stay away from gays and drug users and you won't get AIDS.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

We watched a video of a couple in bed with the young guy awkwardly fumbling to put the condom on beneath the sheets. The class, up until that point was pretty under control until somebody near the back shouted out "Bitch needs to put that shit on with her mouth!" and then it was more or less chaos.

[Guest Smues]

I thought my schools did a pretty good job as far as covering AIDS. Never said anything about it being a gay disease or anything like that. Taught us very earlier on how you can and can't catch it. And I remember watching some video where they talked about how AIDS confuses your immune system, so to demonstrate they had a baseball game where the home team represented someone, and the visiting team was AIDS. Once the guy got AIDS, members of the AIDS team started joining his team, but in his team jerseys. OMG!

Yeah, I meant 7th grade. We actually went to the same junior high. Evergreen, baby. Straight up Houma, yo! I think you used to live around the corner from me, Hood. I also think your Dad almost arrested my brother for smoking, too.

I have only one anecdote regarding any sex education courses in grade school or high school. In the 9th grade my health teacher, a young beautiful recent graduate prompted the horny young men in the class that none of the required material was remotely relevant and tossed it in the garbage. Instead of showing the intended gross material, she simply showed amateur footage to illustrate that sex was hardly glamorous as porno made it out it to be. She rejected abstinence wholeheartedly. Regrettably, she only taught for a couple of years but she remained on the minds of all us young men.

[Guest Queen Leelee]

Not much in grammar school since it was Catholic. ABSTAIN OR GO TO HELL, and lame cartoon videos about how sex is bad.

 

High school was more fun. Especially with the one male science teacher/softball & volleyball coach who taught the health class, and taught us sex wuz bad while most of us knew he was fucking a few of the girls.

My dad arrested all my friends at one point or another. Funny shit.

 

Who was your brother... uhhh I'll find you on aim and finish this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

On topic: We had to watch a chick give birth on a video. She made little noise and the baby came out with little effort.

[BX 0]

Yeah, my mother was a midwife, and took me to several birthings.

 

Let's just say it reminded me of the scene in Lord Of The Rings where the Saruman watched the Urik Hi come out of their eggs/goo.

Two things I remember, one in grade 10, the second in grade 11.

 

Grade 10 - I don't even know how, but I had to repeat the word slut louder and louder for about 15-20 times.

 

Grade 11 - Our teacher was a pretty good guy, and said "I know a lot of you are probably a little shy to ask, so write anything down, here's some paper". The only thing returned was by Mark DiBartemoleo, who wrote "My girlfriend wants to mess around, but I'm not so sure. What should I do doctor?" The class went nuts laughing, and Dremano was trying not to laugh as he scolded us.

 

I doubt if this counts, but my parents never gave me 'the talk'. They just showed me how to put a condom on a candle. It was during an episode of Raw. I was pissed.
