You're an inspiration.

I remember we had a visit from this group. The religion teacher set it up. We were all about 16-17 at the time. They were an American group of attractive 20 something's, I cant remember what their name was, but they were basically a chastity group (cult).

They used role plays to show us all the bad bad things that happen when you don't 'wear your chastity belt'. At the end they each gave a big speech about why they wore the 'chastity belt' and how righteous they were because of it. Nothing about safe sex or anything like that.

Ahh! We had them visit our school too. I remember we thought they were so cool because they were American. But by the time their lecture was over no amount of coolness could hide the fact that they were a bunch of smug ar$eholes.

Numerous classes, talks and discussion groups, between 2 secondary schools and a youth club ... and that was around 1960 to 65.

I got my sex education from my friends and MTV. In sixth class, the school summoned us along with our parents to tell us a bunch of stuff we already knew. The cartoon representations could only be said to vaguely resemble humanoid lifeforms. Then there was a chapter on the reproductive system at the end of second year biology. These are my collected memories of sex ed in the Republic of Ireland.

And in most places , 90 per cent of schools are catholic.
SO in practice only the rich, mostly have a choice,
for most people the local school is probably a catholic school.

The sex education I received in school was, in a word, negligent.

We watched pro life videos in religion class, was ridiculous. Stuff about foetuses crying when they are aborted and other nonsense... Good aul convent schools!

We did have a public health nurse come in when we were in 1st year and again in 3rd year. We got "goodie bags" with pads and tampons. Was mortified in 1st year, and then in 3rd year didn't care less :rolleyes: The one in 3rd year was quite good actually. We did a Q+A with the nurse about STDs. And she wasn't being all "don't have sex or you will get pregnant and die". She was actually helpful. Shame about those abortion videos..

Video of a nun in some rural community hall explaining to an audience. She seemed like a nice lady. The audience were morto though, and we were absolutely in knots laughing at them.

Ours was the same year the Abortion Referendum and the X-Case raged in the media. So it was great fun trolling asking the nuns why abortion was so wrong in the case of a raped 14 year old.

I'm old enough to remember buying Cosmopolitan and other glossy womens mags with any family planning clinic advert that offered information or counselling about abortion in the back of it with the big black censored square. I remember the scandal when condoms were put on display for the first time. Not long ago at all.

I never realised they showed abortion videos in some schools. That's crazy.

I remember we were shown a video in 3rd year. It spent about 20 minutes showing pictures of penises, and then it showed a picture of a vagina for a split second and it was gone. THE END! I felt so cheated.

I'm disappointed that video only showed 2 positions...
