I grew up in a very conservative state, so we didn't have a specific sex ed class. Do sex ed classes teach you to "find out what pleasure means to you?" You explore different kinds of sex and learn how to have sex?

We got taught how to put a condom on a banana and how scary STDs are.

Grew up in a liberal state, but a somewhat conservative area of it.

We absolutely WERE NOT taught about different ways of approaching sex, pleasure, intimacy, or anything like that. I learned those things privately, not in school.

Sex Ed in schools was more about health and biology - differences between men and women, what to expect in puberty, STD awareness, things like that.

I thought that sounded like bullshit.
