Besides the previously mentioned share-your-liquid presentation in 8th grade, the only other sex-related education I remember getting in school was “STD day”.
I think it was in 10th grade (does someone remember?), and all the 9th and 10th graders had to meet in the auditorium. A doctor (I think someone’s dad) gave a slideshow presentation of pictures of STDs–image after close-up, detailed image of infected body parts.
If there was an acompanying speech about not having sex, I do not remember it. The only outcome I recall from this presentation was the inability to eat cauliflower for days – and then reminding friends about the cauliflower reference to continue to the gross out factor. (You’re welcome, Internet, for that image).

I remember STD day also, but I thought it was in 8th grade. But maybe I’m thinking of Drugs and Alcohol day. The two get mixed up in my mind.
