My personal opinion is that we should treat sex ed like a biology class. That is what it is. When sex ed is just how to put a condom on, we are doing our children a great dis-service. I am appaled at the lack of knowledge that adults have about thier bodies and how they work. Not just sex but reproduction. I am 33 an know many people who dont know when they ovulate. I think that becuase we have a poor basic education about the biology of sex and reprodution, we are creating adults who dont understand thier own bodies. If you teach kids what sex is, it is no longer mistified, they understand it and are less likely to be curious becuase they know more. Teens are going to have sex so safe sex has to be taught, but they need to know how things work.
