Reply #10: Sex ed was taught

[quakerboy]

in one state in the 7th grade and another in the 6th. Due to my fathers persuit of higher education, we happened to live in the 7th grade state when i was in 6th grade, and the 6th grade state when I was in 7th.

But bathroom vending machines were plentiful, and my dad had a big brown softcover book titled something along the lines of "men" that went through every aspect of male health in painstaking detail. From the sex to hygiene to basic and moderately advanced anatomy to aging from infancy through elder and death. And I happen to be a reader. My father also had a saying "keep it in your pants" which was reinforced by a lot of personally familiar examples of people who unintentionally had kids. STDs or shame was never the issue, it was "do you want to risk having a kid?"

That along with a talk about how a relative had managed to have a kid even after having his valves tied off, and whenever I got to that point, I should really make them check for a backroads extra just to make sure, kinda did for my sex ed.
