My sex ed was pretty thorough I feel. It was part of our health units in school from grades 5-9. In the earlier grades, the class would be split into boys and girls, but as I got older the entire class was part of the lesson.
Most sex ed classes involved:
-Showing diagrams of female and male reproductive organs (we had to label each one which I hated doing)
-Students being able to ask questions about sex or puberty
-Learning about consent
-STI and safe sex
-Birth control methods
There was also a LGBT/gender portion that was added to the curriculum later on. It covered things like:
-Differences between gender and sex
-Sexual vs romantic attraction (also covered ace/Aro people I believe)
What makes a person binary trans people or non binary
-Defining different sexualities (gay, lesbians, bi, etc)
-Differences between gender identity and gender expression
Overall, I’m pretty satisfied with how all this was taught to me.
