Yeah, I was just reading some of the comments- the best I can figure is that I experienced sex ed in a private school setting.

My wife and I have this recurrent philosophical debate (and by "philosophical" I mean "loaded with emotional and cultural subtext") about private v. public education- we're about due for another one. I've never thought to bring up the whole messaging independence thing. But I'm willing to bet that her sex ed experience was a lot more along the lines of yours. Then again, it could be even worse at a denominational private school. I dunno.
