Stuff about cishet sex and preventing STDs is important.

But absolutely nothing about gender! Or romance! Or hell, even lust between two cishet people! Can't the concept of "hookups" be brought up?

Deriving sexual pleasure for both parties wasn't even talked about either!

And of course the concept of "being gay" wasn't brought up either. "Lesbians? Gays? Are those a brand of energy drink or.....?"

And "PIV" sex was the only method acknowledged to exist.

As I type this I'm realizing it wasn't even very good for the cishets!

No mentions of setting boundaries in sexual and romantic relationships. Nothing about breaking up in a healthy and constructive manner. Again, nothing about making sure both parties are sexually satisfied.

I mean we all know one party in a relationship becoming apathetic towards the other party never happens. Lust and romance Love are completely static emotions that never fluctuate with time!

Nothing about different types of love.

On a personal level I'm pissed I was never told about asexuality, aromanticism, and gender queerness.

I mean god forbid I get told what being agender and transfem means and then wonder if I'm both of those! Or that I could be aromantic!

We all got split up between girls and boys so we didn’t even get to hear the others’ stuff. The girls sex ed also doubled as an ad for pads and tampons. The video tape they played for us was very clear that it was sponsored by a brand and we got samples afterwards. Otherwise it was basically “here’s how a tampon works” and “don’t have sex”.

CW: vaginal stuff

The focus on tampons was mega annoying because it was too painful for me to use them for years (and still is but not as bad). Felt embarrassed about only being able to use pads for a bit because I was paranoid it smelled and thought no one else used them. Never even knew about a hymen until high school, which would have been amazing because mine was pretty thick and I ended up opting to surgically remove it. Before that, putting anything in felt like it burned. Probably would have saved me a lot of discomfort had I known more than just “oh it’s a thing that gets broken during sex”.
