Ah yes, sex education. I don't think my school had a proper sex education class, but we took health, and they touched on it in the curriculum. It consisted of Abstinence=Great, Protected Sex=Good, but not as good as being abstinent, and Holy Shit Unprotected Sex Will Give You Every STD Known To Man DESTROYING YOUR PENIS. They had pictures of destroyed penises to drive that point home.
I did not sleep that first night..

I was a fairly sheltered kid growing. I was smart: I knew the biology of sperm and egg cells and such. I just didn't know how conception happened, and I didn't have any irresponsible relatives or friends to teach me.
That being said, my sex-ed experience was very enlightening. I was lucky enough not to even get the fear-inducing 'education'. I watched a low-budget movie in Grade 6 explaining erections, ejaculation, periods, and puberty. Had the occasional class in the years after that about protection and abstinence and pregnancy. I was fairly lucky, I suppose.
Of course, I ended up learning more about sex from watching American Pie anyway.

A live birth.... I'm scared.
On a side note, both my father and grandfather missed the birth of their first-born, and after seeing the birth video I can't blame them.

The only sex ed we had was an old teacher talking about the time he got a boner when in hospital. The nurse punched his dick (!). Only thing I learned from it was to never get a boner near a nurse.
We had to take sex. ed. for five years from 4th grade (9 yrs old) unil 9th grade. The amazing part was that they found something different to say (while still covering past material) for five fucking years.
They showed videos. Old ones, since our school was too lazy to buy current ones. Everything in the videos was VERY 70's and VERY awkward, since they decided the best way to teach kids about sex was bad puns and wierd jokes. They kept it awkward by having bad music, and people who sucked at acting and had ugly hair and clothes.
The worst sequence was when they were showing how the sperm finds and enters the egg. They made it into a romantic drama/comedy thing with classic/cliche/cheesy dialoge and music with a 70's twist to it. The sperm was trying to find his true love, the egg. They even gave them names.
One of the best parts was that our conservative and very religeous teacher had to explain how two guys had sex together. He got half way through before he gave up and asked if anyone else had a question. The next person asked how two girls had sex. He decided we were done with sex ed for the day.

The sex ed portion of my 8th grade health class conisited of:
a movie on safe sex
a quiz on fantasies and such (which I found... disturbingly intrusive)
A movie depicting all men but one as bastards that just want to "get off" any way they can and not caring about spreading STDs, and all women as so promiscuous that you're surprised they don't just turn tricks for pennies.
And diagrams.
Also, alot of giggling and "ewww"s. GROW UP. I basically figured sex out by watching an episode Nova on PBS about giving birth. WHEN I WAS 10.

Gather round children, this is going to be a good one.
My first experience with sex-ed was in year 3, yes, year 3. To a class of year 3 boys and girls they showed a video entitled "Where do babies come from?" which, through a combination of diagrams that we all laughed at and impossible to understand Southern US accents, didn't succeed in teaching us anything at all and mostly got the teachers ticked off who were silly enough to think that we'd understand or even be serious at such a presentation.
Then in year 6 came interrelate. again this was a co-ed school so in the one classroom guys had to learn about periods, girls had to learn about nocturnal emissions (WET DREAMS LOLOLOLOL). Me, I treated the whole thing as one big joke, when we were given diagrams of naked boys and girls and we had to draw on the effects of puberty I just drew horns and shit, I almost made it a game couning how many girls fainted hearing about periods. The diagrams were embarassing, the news was pretty old hat (Mind you I finally learned what a paps test is...oh the horror), the woman that came in each day of the one week long course was insufferable and thankfully I wasn't there on the final day when they showed the touted video of a woman giving birth.
Still, at least it didn't involve one evening of me sitting in church between my parents and all the other unlucky kids while the priest explained everything like what was the case with my father.

I don't remember much about my sex ed classes. In grade 6 the only thing I recall them showing us was a video of a few kids a little bit older talking about the 'goop' in their underwear. And how they felt strange and their voices were cracking. It was both repulsive and hilarious.
Only other thing I really remember was putting a condom on a banana in grade 9. Actually, I don't even remember that, only thing I learned from that class was that one of my friends was allergic to latex.

First sex ed class: 10th grade.
First porn: Age 10.
First time being naked with an actual girl: Age 11.
You begin to see where the "someone really should've told me the consequences earlier" problem comes in. Fortunately I didn't have to learn those lessons the hard way.
