Waggs, what year are these kids in? My DS1 is in 3rd year, aged 14 and I had to explain ejaculation to him yesterday because he'd never heard of it.....I am not ready for him to learn all this stuff

3rd and 4th years.
Apparently it's a little more detailed for the 4th.
The whole programme is actually a piece of genius IMO. The kids are gently duped into thinking this woman is totally open minded about everything - the first class discusses orientation including bisexuality and transgender. Lots of stuff about communication and being comfortable about what you are doing etc. But the grand finale is the bit about STIs. She really doesn't present it as a "if you have sex your dick will fall off" but it's sort of the subliminal message.

Well, not really, but if I'd got the talk when I was younger that she gives - I'm pretty sure I'd have avoided some of the not-so-good sexual choices I made. She gives them all the information and tells them to make the choices they feel comfortable making. If you saw the pictures of a vagina with syphilis/herpes/warts etc that she shows - you'd be crossing your legs until well after you left school. The woman is apparently a bit of a legend - her method is supposed to be very effective. Not all parents were impressed. One young, quite glamorous couple believed she was normalizing sex for teens but I disagree. I thought she was brill. I do think there's no harm though in discussing chastity outside marriage - some kids that age are very idealistic (if you're not idealistic at 15 when are you?) and I think it's good to teach them that they're not freaks for wanting to wait till marriage. Not every 15 year old is dying to have sex.
