I mean, as sad as it sounds, I don't think it's a really uncommon thing that guys believe. They rarely teach about contraceptive in sex ed, and a guy especially wouldn't learn about women's birth control. And it never comes up in conversation.

This is why we need better sexual education besides telling people "sex is bad, don't do it". I went almost 20 years thinking having your tubes tied meant having no periods, and my partner (who is a med student) set me straight. I felt so dumb, but nothing about that was ever touched on during those sex ed classes. I remember back in high school, they had to sit down with one if the students and have a serious talk about the fact that girls don't pee out of their vaginas. This was a female too. I don't even think back in high school we were taught about any STD's! Yeah, we really need to change things.

People are complaining that we need better sex ed but I don't know what they're talking about. Im a high school student and I live in a suburban city in Ohio and they didn't just tell us "sex is bad don't do it". We were fully educated and learned about STD'a and things such as birth control. I believe it was simply the generation before us that sex was a bit taboo. Kids nowadays understand how it works and are being educated.

I went to high school quite recently and all we got was " this is puberty " and then later the biological aspect of it ( sperm meets egg to make a baby was the gist of it), we never even got an abstinence thing, it just wasn't talked about unless you got pregnant then it was required for you to take a child development class to graduate.

What kind of logic is that? Let the accident happen then teach about it?

If you're in the south, they taught abstinence and about all the stds you could catch from having sex.

i've had both northern and southern taught sex ed, the north does teach it a bit better and goes into contraceptives, but the south pretty much just teaches that the only way to avoid pregnancy is abstinence. they dont even bring up birth control down here.

I hate to say this, but this seems so typical of religious countries. I'm from the (arguably) least religious country in the world, and I got full sex ed when I was about 11-12, with videos about how things worked. And that was 30 years ago. I'm a bit older than most here I guess.

I think better sex education is needed in certain countries and I generally believe pupils should be mixed, not separated.

Well, to be fair, abortion is a type of birth control.
