Did you receive sex ed in school?

After going through the 14 years in Irish schools, I never received a bit of it. How about yourselves? And if so, what was it?

I finished 6th year in 2003 btw, so I should have had some, but the school never bothered.

Grandeeod · 18-11-2013 01:08PM

No I received it in my mates house with his sisters friend.

beakerjoe · 18-11-2013 01:09PM

i finished in 2001 and i got it in 5th class.

I barely paid attention though, as most of the class found it hilarious..... ah immaturity!

Not in school as such.
Got a good bit of sex education in the school bicycle shed though.

1959, an older boy showed me his stiffy, we saw another fellas sister having a piss, that was it.

sbsquarepants · 18-11-2013 01:13PM

Done a good bit of theory, far too little practical:mad:

I got sex ed in school, it was done as part of religion class. I did the Leaving in 89, so I guess it must have been 87/88 when we had the class. It was done by a holier than thou Religion teacher but to be fair to her, she did a good job and explained things well. Myself and a few mates thought we would spend the time sniggering merrily down the back of the class but it was done so well that everyone took it seriously. To be fair, now that I think back on it, I'd have to say well done to the teacher.

Finished school in 2006, never got sex education. They taught us about what a period was when I was fifteen. Bit fcuking late!

GLaDOS · 18-11-2013 01:14PM

Received it in primary school, in 5th or 6th class I think. Meant nothing to me as a 11/12 year old though. This would have been ~2001.

Chancer3001 · 18-11-2013 01:18PM

Honest to god we were taught how to baptise a baby with two heads.

In case we ever came across a car accident and had to baptise a baby before it died.

We were also taught to baptise a baby with no head.

Absolutely mental stuff.

Our science teacher skipped over those chapters for the inter cert.

We had a priest try explaining it to us once. And we had a very religious couple try explain to us that God was the most important person in the relationship.

Edit: Just to add the priest (He was always called Sexy Sam because he always took the lectures on sex that we had in retreats. Yes, we had bi-annual retreats) started by telling us we were very mature and shouldn't laugh. He then followed it by saying that if we ever had difficulties with people of the opposite sex, people of our own sex or with animals, we could tell them in confession.

Had it in fourth year around 2004, it was boring. There should of been a live demonstration. Our religion teacher did put on a video of a woman giving birth once,everything was seen. The poor babby looked like an alien being squeezed out.

Gatling · 18-11-2013 01:20PM

We had a priest who got all the lads to talk about their experience's so far at 15 while recording it all on a Dictaphone,

The right to remain silent came in handy that day

anncoates · 18-11-2013 01:22PM

Yup.

Back in the 80s no less. Looking back, it must have been a desperate measure to combat teenage pregnancy as it was rife in our area.

We just spent the whole class asking faux-iinnocent questions like Can you really stick a penis in a person's arse?

I distinctly remember a female teacher telling us oral sex was 'gross' and that she didn't 'how people could do it'.

Grandeeod · 18-11-2013 01:22PM

I was very lucky. At the age of 10 I got a book from my parents called where do I come from. That was my theory. And as I said above the practical bit came in my mates house. Who needs sex ed in schools.:D

Jaysus, that would be the 80s for ya!

Chancer3001 · 18-11-2013 01:24PM

Hilariously, our first year sex ed involved somebody looking the word up in the dictionary and the teacher making him read it out.

That was that

Xenji · 18-11-2013 01:25PM

Yeah from a Nun, it was very ironic.

To be fair, looking at her would also make you incredulous about how people could do it.

Actually, my mum was a nurse. And before I was old enough to get embarassed by anything she'd gone through books and stuff and explained the basics.

The rest I learned from late night Channel 4. Thank god for foreign films.

Corvo · 18-11-2013 01:28PM

If you count feeling a booby through a very thick jumper of the local presentation, then yes.

Unfortunately I did go through a spell many years ago where the philosophy of "any port in a storm" was followed to a T.

A telly was wheeled in, and a video was put on.
That was it.

From watching cows at it I had an inkling of what was involved already. And looking at pics of marys in the encyclopedias we had.

dublinbhoy88 · 18-11-2013 01:30PM

A nun came into our secondary school and taught us what we already knew, I wanted ask her if she was talking from experience but managed to restrain myself

For people brought up in the 80s. no amount of internet porn on tap can ever be a thrilling as copping a pair of French or German tits on Channel 4 when the old pair had gone to bed.

So a telly was wheeled in and a video of cows shagging was put on.

Can I have the name of the school please. That particular video was banned in Ireland many years ago.

Thanks.

Yes, but how did you know my name was Ed?

Absolutely!

Got sex ed in primary and secondary, guess when I was in fifth or sixth class they started with the hair in funny places ****, but moved on to telling us about being turned on in what was one of the funniest videos I've ever seen. It had an animation of a penis getting erect and a vagina getting "wet" and then an older gentlemen used the old index finger on hand through the loop in the other hand to demonstrate how this helps the penis "slip in, slip out, slip in, slip out"

In secondary school we got the aids lessons. Jesus there is no better way to scare kids away from having sex. That video started with a young male presented saying "were gonna meet 4 Sexual active people in this video, one of the people in the video will have aids" at which point one ofthe lads yyelled "it's you". Ultimately it was. But I remember one of the slightly less cool girls in the class asking the teacher if using multiple condoms "maybe two of three" lowered the chances of aids again.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, co-ed sex ed... Hilarious

No foreign telly, but RTE used show something called Cineclub which was quite racy....

Did you receive sex ed in school?
