Ontarian here. The joke is that Catholic high schools here have daycares in them because their sex Ed is non-existent.
I’m going to go on a limb and guess that the Catholic school system in Ontario is run by mostly laypeople and a few secular priests instead of one of the orders renowned for their teaching ministry, like the Jesuits.
There are four separate school systems in Ontario not including private schools. English public, English Catholic, French public, and French catholic.
Can’t imagine how much waste there is in a system with four departments doing the same thing.
There should be one school system with a French and English. No catholic influences at all.

You might be surprised at how much supression of this information there is, how much fear and/or punishment tactics actually work.
Couple that with many people still having a family computer and not necessarily allowing children to have their own devices or monitoring/controlling everything they do on them, with religious homeschooling, book banning and abstenance only sex ed and you can have your answer about why some people still don’t know.

You mean why most people in general don’t know? Yeah I took it as such.
I apologise if I came off rudely though.

Oh okay, thank you for explaining and clarifying 🙂
Mummy Laid an Egg - Babette Cole
published 1994. literally all the information a kid needs.
I read it in Year R (the UK equivalent to Kindergarten)
Unfortunately, no one at her school handed out the official “Books PrettyFlyForAFatGuy Read as a Child” list so she could catch up.
I didn’t say they did. I’m pointing out the assertion “Information was not as easily accessible in the 90s” is false.
It was, and it was in an easy to read and fun format for children.
The 90s wasn’t a dark age.
Someone made an active choice not to educate this child properly. don’t blame the 90s
Yeah, it’s not that the information wasn’t there, it’s that religion withholds it.
Come on now, that info was widely available well before the 90’s.
This is some troll level bullshit.

My first partner said oral sex could cause pregnancy. I JUST WANTED TO PUT THEM IN MY MOUTH BUT THEY WOULDN’T RELENT
hand stuff was fine though I guess
If it’s any consolation, when they finally learnt the truth they probably looked back at those moments with tremendous regret.
That’s fair. I JUST WANTED TO DO THE THING aaaaaaaaaaa
For a day in primary school I believed girls could get pregnant by touching them because DNA was transferred to touching skin
That was thanks to badly designed primary school sex-ed videos that they made us watch in primary school that avoided mentioning the adult things
When I was in school and we were doing sex ed one of the girls put up her hand and said, my sister does this. Which all the teachers look sort of awkward about. Later on I learnt that her sister was a prostitute and so, yeah, it was a relevant comment.
Sort of awkward though that are 13-year-old is aware of it
Okay i get it, but how do you not know that your period ends, but know that if it does it could be because of pregnancy
