I took sex ed at 15, and I thought it was a good age, but in Sherwood, Oregon, no child know what sex is until that age. I didn't know much about sex till high school anyways.
Did you do One sex class or did you actually have a whole semester/trimester on Sex education? We did a section on sex eduacation that was like 3 weeks. We did the std thing, the pregnancy thing, all that, and the teachers we're very comfortable with it, so they made sure we knew what we we're supposed to. Did you get to ask "anonymouse" questions? We did that, also very helpful. BTW, How old are you and where are you from?

I'm 17, from Nottingham over in the UK. We did get asked some anonymous questions yeah, then they read out the results of them so we could compare ourselves with the rest of our class, that was probably the best thing about it I suppose. We didn't do all that long, just over an hour per class, once a week for 5 weeks but there was a lot lacking in it. First class we did the questions, introductions and stuff then the contraception then the rest of it was about STDs and pregnancy, not great. We didn't get taught this by our usual teachers though, some people from an organisation I don't remember now came in and did it, I think it was a christian organisation though-my school entertained notions of being christian despite its students.
15 was definitely too young where I am at least, so it must be a lot different in Sherwood, Oregon. There's a sherwood in Nottingham aswell, of course.
