Anybody else have horrible Sex-Ed?

This is something that I've been thinking about recently.

Due to my abstinence-only Georgia Sex-Ed and my parents completely skipping "The Talk" with me, most of my sexual education came from the internet (not porn, actual credited sources). But every once in a while I still think back to how ignorant I was.

For example, when I was around 12 or so, I was at a party and one kid (I forget the context) mentioned the word "condom". Having never heard this word before, I asked, "What's a condom?" Everyone then proceeded to laugh. But I genuinely didn't know. My parents never told me and teachers were forbidden from teaching students about condoms or how one is used.

I also freaked out the first time I masturbated because when I saw a sticky liquid substance, I immediately thought I had an STD of some sort. That's right. I actually thought I had contracted some STD without ever having had sex. Seems a bit silly to consider now, but back then I only knew of one liquid that was supposed to be coming out of there. So, you can imagine my surprise.

Anybody else totally failed by your Sex-Ed curriculum?

Oh god yeah!
My parents also skipped the talk with me. And I was kept in the dark about it in school. I discovered masturbation young, but i was 13 before I realized what I was doing was considered sexual.
I think the worst example was puberty. I was a late bloomer, but puberty hit me hard and fast. I was 14 and went to camp for a week. I didn't shower once for the whole time. And it was winter, so you can imagine how often I used the toilet. (Very little)
Well, having not had a good look at my crotch, I thought i was just having an allergic reaction to flannel underwear. I dropped my pants to shower, and... WHAT IS ALL THIS HAIR DOING AROUND MY DICK!?!? Yup. That scared the hell out of me, until my dad finally explained everything to me.

There was no talk, during high school we've had this class where a teacher would discuss the subjects.
The irony I was the least person to understand anything sex related lol .. and now I'm more ahead than anyone around here.
The kids and my friends used to bully me endless, using all the sex-references they had gotten ..

But my parents never did talk about it, I too learned more about it online actually, nothing surprised me to say, it all seemed natural oddly.
So... gulible!
