Bongo, it is never too late. Well, at least not until the comments shut down automatically after 21 days :) And I am surprised that we got our sex ed pretty much the same way…right down to the authors :)

And yup…am fiddling (as usual) with the sidebar ‘goodies’. Will remove the edgier ads.

Bit late to the discussion - my school never had any sex education either. We learned about stuff the usual way: Sidney Sheldon, Irving Wallace, adult mags, cousins etc. :-)

Btw, can’t say I am thrilled with the huge pink Ads that’s coming up on this page that promises to calculate my love quotient.

Confused, sorry! Will fix that. So it was your alma mater, eh? Hope you didn’t have such ‘probing’ health checkups during your time…heh.

Sakshi, My school(s) didn’t even have that. But thankfully everything turned out just fine :)

My school at least had attempted to teach it but failed miserable. The teacher was uncomfortable and hence we kids were too. And yes, we were separated into gender based groups and taught by the same gender teacher and still, we got nothing out of it.

Pat,

Minor correction. The Court hasn’t ordered them to pay 600 million, rather they have settled it out of court.

Incidentally, I was in Sardar Patel for 3-4 years. Never knew they could mess up this bad.

Supremus, I guess you were the few lucky ones. So has it helped any? ;)

Have you ever had appropriate sex education in your schools?

– I have been lucky hehe :) Ironically it was a spaniard “father” in a catholic school who taught us biology and sex. I think they were some of the most amazing lessons he could teach us - there were no pretentions, no “I will teach girls and boys seperately” shit and no “read for yourself” shit. It was laid out to us, bare and open, but done in such a practical and informative way.

I was actually surprised later on in life learning how pathetic sex education was in schools - I’ve been lucky :)
