I went to a Catholic school in the UK. There was pretty much no sex education apart from two areas:

1. In science class, looking at male and female anatomy.

2. In R.E. class, being taught (in a semi-impartial manner) that all contraception aside from the rhythm method is considered sinful by the Catholic Church.

Point number 2 is the strangest part. They were basically condoning not using condoms to a bunch of newly sexually active young males. It doesn't help that all these young men come from poor urban environments.
