sex ed

For a whole lot of people, sex ed was more of a fear factory than a sober discussion of scientific facts, and it's really weird how much unverified information and questionable analogies people are prepared to hare in order to get kids to do what they want. Yeah, a lot of awkward sex questions get asked in sex ed, but at least they sometimes get answered.

Sex is a confusing topic for many school districts, teachers, and students, and sometimes folks are taught things that don't end up being exactly correct, or helpful. Sometimes kids ask hilariously awkward sex ed questions, and other times everyone just leaves confused.

Sex education can be a shock to some kids, and being a teacher trying to get 40 children to not laugh every time you say "testicles" has to be a nightmare. A sex-ed class can become an absolute minefield even when kids aren't asking questions. They don't know any better, and that's the time and place for it, but everyone remembers the awkward questions that got asked in Sex Ed. You can't exactly blame someone's ignorance, but man people say some absurdly dumb things in complete seriousness.

Man, we need better sex education. I guess you can't shame people for asking hilarious questions, but some of these assertions are so stupid they're almost dangerous. Even more disappointing, it's the people who don't understand how sex works that end up accidentally having the most children.

There are no stupid questions. But there are absolutely ridiculous questions. These kids risked looking like complete idiots just so everyone else could know the truth. Hats off to these "fantastic" sex ed questions.

Kids just ask the darndest things!

Ah, good 'ol sex ed: A profound cringe-tainted milestone on the teenage hormone-muddled path toward ultimate....enlightenment, blue balls, crippling sexual frustration, passive aggressive text break ups? f*ck if I know, dude. If anything these applause-worthy clueless questions perfectly demonstrate the terribly awkward nature of those classes; and how damn lost we all were. If you can top anything from this little roundtable discussion, then please, please, share. 

We've pried open the dusty Pandora's box of depraved and discouragingly mindless sex advice, and it's expectedly profane. To think that we have sexual deviants running amok out there sticking their manpoles in any hole that will have them, and peeing as they were advised thereafter, for good measure...buckle up and brace yourself my weary readers, cause we are diving deep down the rabbit's hole for this particular AskReddit thread. Expect twisted, occasionally dark-humored tangents.

The awkwardness in these stories practically leaps off the page.

Reddit user iheartdna teaches sex ed for kids in "two different large public high schools, both very high-income, upper-middle-class areas of Virginia and California." Below are three years of some of the best anonymous questions her students have wrote in. Ah, the awkward adolescent memories...
