Sex education only? Are you saying they don't study any biology? Don't they learn any about sex chromosomes? Or do they interpret it as "sexual chromosomes"?

I can only assume that any surprise on your part would be due to not being a native speaker.

Lol I'm sure there are things I don't get for not being a native speaker. The word sex it's not one of them. But if you want to play this card, let's not forget there are at least two English native speakers in this sub who disagree with you on this.

Teens don't learn about anything with the term "sex" in it outside of sex education.

Did the Google results for "sex...a/b/c/d etc." surprise you in their focus on sexuality, or not?

So, do teens not learn that humans have 46 chromosomes: 44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes? Do they not learn that females are XX and males are XY? Do they not learn the inheritance of certain traits is linked to sex? Do they not learn, for example, that daltonism is more prevalent in males?

Are you willing to claim biology educaction for teens at English speaking countries is sub-standard before admiting you may be wrong?

WTF? Of course not. That's advanced biology. You won't learn that unless you study biology at university, or maybe medicine at A-level.

Uh? This is pretty basic. I learned all that at high school.

I learned all that in high school too and I went to high school a half century ago!

Anyway, if the Google search results for "sex a/b/c...etc" didn't surprise you, then you must know that sex = sexual intercourse, unless otherwise stated in a minority of situations.
