Jeff AtwoodI have asked probably 100 adults in roughly my age range if, as teenagers, their parents ever talked to them about sex and literally only one person has ever said yes.
falstro@codinghorror in some parts of the world there's this thing called sex-ed in school. We had that in 7th grade iirc. A lot of blushing and nervous chuckling among the students, but it was a extremely valuable in hindsight.
Roadskater, Ph.D.@falstro @codinghorror In some parts of the world, those classes didn't exist or else were not common until some of us were well past high school age. Learning about sex at school was smutty jokes told in shop class.
@roadskater @codinghorror yeah, for sure, i have since moved around the world, now living in the US, and have seen the preventable ignorance first hand (not just here, to be clear). It's sad really :(
