I grew up in New Jersey, where four years of Phys Ed is required to graduate from high school. One good thing about that was that I had four years of health, including two years of sex ed. Sophomore year it was split up by sex and mostly about anatomy (male and female! there were lots of jokes about how well we did or didn't do on the penis diagram test) and senior year it was co-ed with a HUGE focus of AIDS and other STIs and pregnancy. Since it was the late 90's, we watched Philadelphia and ....And the Band Played On. I was grateful for the classes, even though senior year was a little too little too late for lots of us. Way too many "Ohhhhhh so that's what that is....." faces.
I love Bonnie J Rough's Beyond the Birds and the Bees. Did I learn about that from Edit Your Life? I can't remember but it's a great one that I like to share with anyone who brings up the topic of sex ed around me.
Love this! I never thought about single sex class education but of course that would make sense! Everybody with a body should know about menstruation 🤦🏼♀️
