It is my belief that when you let children know the facts(even the facts about “areas of penetration”), then two good things happen: #1 They will not learn about "areas of penetration" from other children (or worse, a pedophile) #2 They will learn that these acts require consenting ADULTS, which they are not, and therefore should not engage in these acts. If a child has been sexually abused, this can help him/her get in contact with an adult who they trust.

It doesn't mean they will, as my story so obviously indicates, but it worked for some of us. I mean hell, I went to the health department by myself when I was 14 and put myself on birth control. I knew I was going to have sex and I wanted to be in control of it, and because I knew what do to, where to go and how to protect myself I did. I took control and I never put myself in a situation where a boy could tell me he "didn't have a condom," because I did. I was a little crazy, and out of control, and wanting to be grown up before I ever should have been, but I guess what I am saying is teaching kids about sex isn't corrupting them, or stealing their innocence, it's empowering them and hopefully giving them what they need to keep themselves safe.

I remember the cool kids sitting in the back of class in 5th grade playing "truth or dare" and most of it involved kissing or the showing and touching of genitals. Yes, DURING CLASS. I went to a relatively small school, only 98 kids in my graduating class and I graduated in 2007 so it's not like this was too long ago. We had sex ed in sixth grade. And seventh. And eighth. AND AGAIN IN tenth. Still, at least three girls dropped out every year from pregnancy, not counting the girls who got pregnant and stayed in school.
