The Awkward World of Sex Education 

“eddy how did you miss that it was 1988 it says it in the first frame” that’s why i plastered it in large text as i said it what do you got dumb brain and can’t read???

"I feel short” "I remember MY first ejaculation..."

“Hey dad why am I so short?” “SON YOUR PEEPEE IS GOING WILD LIKE MINE DID”

As a female in high school, I would like to reassure some of y'all that I've personally never noticed that a guy was hard.

“I wish they’d just bowl” Sam is the asexual king we didnt know we needed

"Dad, I'm short, the girls talk too much and they're so bad at bowli-" "Ah, yes, P U B E R T Y time"

"kid: Hey dad, these girls I'm my class are acting kinda weird. They were whispering to each other" Dad: "let me tell you about when i got my first *ERECTION* "

It never dawned on me how the only puberty talk us girls got was about menstruating and our boobs growing, but nothing about our own sexual feelings, or even the (sometimes negative) mental changes that come with menstruating or how stress impacts cycles. Or how debilitating menstruating *can* be. In regards to sexuality.. While our stuff isn’t “noticeable” like boys, I’m sure we can all agree it’s equally important. Especially when you factor in PH balances, which being sexually active can cause to be IMbalanced, yeast infections which can be life threatening if left untreated, on top of STIs and STDs. But nope. You’re (supposed to) bleed every month, and just work out if that little stomach cramp gets on your nerves/causes you to be bed ridden 🤷🏾‍♀️

We had a female school nurse come in and teach us about sex, and she also told us that it is impossible to pee with a boner. Now i had at that point peed with a boner so i raised my hand and said that it is in fact possible. And at this point she starts arguing and insisting that it is impossible. Like bro, i have a dick you dont, which one of us would know if it be impossible or not?

Guys, I think Eddy is drinking b**r. Pls don't tell my mom I'm watching this

Dad Explains That it's Normal to Have Spontaneous Erections [ASMR]

As a child of an immigrant, one thing I will say about those free samples is that I think they saved me from a lot of bullying. I'm mixed, and my mom, who is Asian, has never had to deal with the body odor and hair issues I have. I remember in 4th grade asking if I could have deodorant and she told me it would damage my skin and I should just use...baby powder. Thankfully the next year we had one of these assemblies and the girls got care packages with tampons, DEODORANT, and coupons for razors and acne products. Not to completely throw my mom under the bus--asides from her weird aversion to tampons she was really helpful when I did get my period--but I had to use New Years money to buy deodorant and acne spot treatments until I got my first job around 14, and when I started shaving in middle school I wore long pants at home for weeks to avoid the inevitable fight with my mom. So thank you to Secret, Venus, and Clearasil for helping me look halfway presentable during puberty.

I wish someone would have prepared me for my changing body after 40 because this is way more scary than when I went through puberty.

In one of the videos we were forced to watch, one of the girls said "periods don't even hurt" and thats why I have trust issues now

Tyler: The girls were acting a bit weird, but no big deal Dad: Ah, I remember my first ejaculation

the sex ed at my school was all taught by one of those organizations dedicated to talking girls out of abortions but then we had a terrible school wide chlamydia outbreak that finally convinced admin to update things 💀 (and also the org went bankrupt)

Every time Tyler’s dad said “erection” I just laughed uncontrollably. Literally just the way that he talks is insane

Kid: my friends are weird Dad: your tall Kid: no I'm short Dad: YO SON I HAVE RAGING ERECTIONS

"Lovemaking just means making each other feel loved" Kids running home to tell their parents they really want to do some lovemaking with their dogs and shit

In my first sex ed class, after it was over, they gave the boys deodorant and girls tampons. I remember every single one of the deodorants were expired from like 3 years before and the tampons had coupons also from 3 years before lol

I really wish these videos also taught about common mental illnesses that develop during puberty. I think if I knew depression was a medical problem when I was 12 I would have talked to a doctor instead of thinking that being constantly miserable was the same as getting more mature

The girl that said she used a tampon for her first ever period is the most unrealistic part of any of the videos lmao

Someone asked our sex ed teacher if being gay had a version too, she said that no, being gay didnt exist.

Primary school sex ed in the UK for me was just a general understanding of how babies are traditionally made and the anatomy. Secondary school was learning to put a condom on (girls school, they didnt want any of us running round preggers lol), and they also made us comfortable about talking about sex by literally forcing ALL of us to say various sexual terms individually til we didn't giggle or react. And then hilariously we had a sex slang last woman standing competition. I really liked sex ed in my schools 🤣 I think it helped me approach sex a little more maturely because it wasn't a taboo and I knew it was okay if I just did it safely.

I remember when my mom told me about periods and i was terrified because I had a huge fear of blood, except before that she said that my voice would get higher and i was happy because i could do i pretty good pikachu impression and that's really all 2nd grade me cared about

When you get to a certain age: 9, 11, was an inside job, 14...

AIDS was really scary in the 90's. I was in a middle school health class in '97-''98 and we learned all about HIV/AIDS. Included in this talk was the message that you shouldn't check for change in pay phones (which was a thing you did when there were pay phones) because addicts with AIDS would stick used needles in them to try and get someone infected with AIDS. I don't know how the needle would get in there and still allow it to open, but that scared me. He followed it up with always checking your seat at the movie theater because addicts with AIDS would leave used needles there that would prick you when you sat down. I have no idea where these ideas came from. It made going to the movies a lot more stressful during middle school. Do they still teach about HIV/AIDS in health class today?

I had my first period on the first day of seventh grade. My last class was science, and I asked the teacher if I could go to the bathroom. He let me go and I can still remember that dread that washed over me when I saw the blood on my underwear. It wasn’t the sight of the blood that scared me. It was the going home and telling my mom that scared me. Because it meant I was going to get the “You’re not a little kid anymore” talk my sister had just a couple months before. I’m an identical twin and my sister (older than me by two minutes) was the first to endure the wrath of the period. We were swimming at my aunt’s house when she noticed blood on her bathing suit and asked my mom what it was. I was so scared for my sister and knew that my day was coming too. We were terrified of periods because all the women on my mom’s side of the family had horror stories about accidents in class and the severe pain. Of course, we followed the family tradition and suffered from atrocious accidents. The accidents became so frequent that I had to have a doctors note saying that no teacher could refuse any request made to go to the bathroom (even during tests). My twin and I were bullied all through school, and having noticeable accidents every month during middle school did not help our case. Thank the Lord my periods are nowhere near as bad now that I’m in my 30’s, but they still suck.

Dad could you please feed m- I REMEBER MY FIRST ERECTION

my teacher taught us the golden rules of sex: protection, consent, boundaries. And that's on good teaching

I remember learning most of the stuff you’re supposed to learn in sex Ed from my parents. The stuff they mostly talked about in class was about how you should never have sex before marriage and the horrors of stds. Thank god for my parents being comfortable explaining it to me.

Um, as someone who has two kids--it's definitely the result of a long warm hug. You can avoid pregnancy however, if you omit the laughter and telling each other that they're beautiful "and everything like that."

we were taught about periods and sex in 3rd grade and i asked “does it hurt?” because yknow bleeding is a sign of pain and they were like noooo u don’t even feel it! i now do not trust teachers

This gives me a full body cringe. I dont like how softly Tylers dad is talking.

I got kicked out of a sex ed class because I asked for a demonstration.

I learned more about intercourse through fanfiction than sex ed. (Although my school's sex ed class was really good about teaching us about menstruation, almost no complaints about that although they should've taught us sooner as most of us already had our first period before they taught us about it)

When i heard him say "you grew 3 inches" i didnt think about height.

meanwhile, "hey, mom? some of the boys were looking at me and my friend while we were talkin-" "I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I *S Q U I R T E D* "

Glad that a. I don’t use tampons and b. I don’t get my period anymore bc “I want my plastic” has got to be the most terrifying you could say while talking about something that goes up your vag 😭

With how obnoxiously descriptive the narration in the first video is I'm pretty sure it's actually like, accessibility descriptions for blind kids. I've heard them before and they sound exactly like that

In Kentucky the only thing the school says about sex is “wait until you’re married”... we have a lot of pregnant teens...

*Well you see Luigi, when a pisano puts his spaghetti noodle in a mamamias ravioli a little bambino covered in prosciutto comes out 9 months later.*

In Indiana, or at least the part I live, in we have this abstinence program called truth talks. Now I have a lot of weird ass memories from that class, but the thing that I remember the most was when someone asked the person teaching the class how gay people have sex, and he said “well they don’t, they just touch each other and try to arouse each other.” Keep in mind this man was teaching a sex Ed class to a bunch of middle schoolers in the late 2010s. Also kind of irresponsible now that I think about it because if you tell a bunch of kids that gay people having sex isn’t sex, then I feel like it would be kinda easy to put the connection in their head that you can’t gets STDs and stuff from gay sex, since they didn’t explain how STDs transfer other than “sex”. Just so painfully heteronormative I hate it.

I misheard “when my body first ejaculated” as “when my buddy” and was so confused as first 😭

"you grew 3 inches in the last month" I really hate that I thought he was talking about his pee pee

Kid: When did you start growing taller? Dad: *slight grin appears on his face and scoots in* I remember the first time I started getting uncontrollable ejaculations

As a kid, our video was super meta cause it was a video about kids watching the puberty video. It was also sponsored by always and secret and we got free samples. We giggled every time they said penis, especially during a scene were the coach says "don't worry about the size of your penis" and gives a whole lecture about it. Also there's a scene where a kid asks "what causes your voice to get deeper" and the coach says "that's a great question" AND THEN IT CUT OFF SO WE NEVER FOUND OUT. My friend and I had to ask her mom about it later.

I was homeschooled, so my parents kinda just threw a kid's book in my face about it and called it a day. I still have questions

"You've grown 3 inches" Wait How do you know-- *ohhhhh.... height...*

“Slips out” is the worst thing I’ve ever heard and it took a year off my life

I went to Catholic school and sex education was taught by the school nurse, who was…my mom. Hah. Actually she was pretty badass about it. She taught comprehensive sex education to us- including using birth control. She sent out permission slips detailing sex Ed and the curriculum to all 800+ students in the school and got exactly ONE parent request their student be excused (a request that was easily accommodated). Turns out, though, that the parents weren’t paying attention to what they were signing, and when their students told them what they learned, they hauled my mom up in front of the entire PTA with five minutes’ notice to defend her entire curriculum (my brother and me in tow since she was literally told “you have to come to this meeting right now” and couldn’t find someone to watch us). She stood firm in her beliefs.

From Ireland. Sex ed in my rural catholic primary school was honestly awful-abstinence only, don't have sex until you're married, masturbation isn't a thing and gay people don't exist. I only learned about concepts like the LGBT community as a teenager. In secondary school I asked the SPHE teacher how gay people had sex when we were discussing relationships and sexual health, and she told me it was an "adult topic"... honestly I wish we were shown informative videos like these, that were concise and to-the-point that actually addressed these issues. Sometimes I wonder if this country is stuck in the 70s.

Oh god eddy you're triggering my ptsd my dad taught me about the birds and the bees in a buffalo wild wings oh god now even the smell of garlic parmesan stresses me out

Tyler’s dad was creepy.. why did he have to whisper everything 😖

I never want a middle aged man to say "ejaculation" while looking directly at me, but this guy went and did it anyway.

Eddie watching the Audio Description dub (as in the one that describes what's going on for blind people) and not realising that's what's going on? iconic

My school skipped sex ed in general. We just learned cursive again

Wait so normal foreplay ISNT a long kiss, a warm hug, and a short laugh about how good of friends my partner and I are?

that first video really sounds like the audio description track (a recording of the audio portion with extra scene descriptions for low-vision or blind viewers) and its a pretty good example of a solid accessible audio description! The captions, however, are horrendous. they read like someone copy-pasted the script into the captions bar. maybe they spent all their money on the AD XD

The first thing I remember about sex education is a video we watched in fourth grade. The part that haunts me the most is when a man not a day under 76 said “sex is simply amazing”. I almost vowed celibacy that day.

tyler’s dad went from 0 to 100 real quick

“Oh man it hit the back of my throat.” That’s what she said.

I'm one of those strangely unfortunate souls who saw "Who Am I Now" in junior high... in the mid 2000s. Just tells you the state of American education. I also remember laughing my ass off at a video where a barely pubescent kid says to his friend, "Hey, did you see Tina? She wasn't wearing..." *looks around carefully *whisper-screams "A Bra!?!!"

Honestly, I had ZERO sex ed. Literally the only thing I got at my school was, in 5th grade (catholic or christian, can't remember) in ohio, was just: Some lady came into our math class. She rolled in a TV on one of those cards. HECK YEAH! You knew it was gonna be a good time when the teacher wheels in a TV. Oh... The teacher has an assistant... She's... asking all the girls to leave the room and go to another room... Okay... Uh oh. It's... /the talk/. Well. All "the talk" was for me, was just watching a really stupid advertisement about how your body changes to get acne, you start to smell, armpits sweat, get nervous around girls, etc... Just about two guys wishing girls knew about them, but then "after putting on (product placement here) deodorant, I've become more confident in talking to girls!" Then the teacher shoed us out of the classroom to go back to homeroom, and on the way out she held a basket with tons of mini deodorants (the cheap kind), which I can only assume was the brand in the ad. That's it. That's all I got. Until 7th grade science class 2 years later, when the teacher starts talking about genes, male/female characteristic, punnette square, all that jazz, and the boys and girls were giggling all mischeviously. I never knew why. I knew it had to do with reproduction, but, I didn't know the details. It took me until two years LATER (in highschool freshman year) that I had to GOOGLE BY MYSELF and learn via porn, put the pieces together, and finally figure out myself what it all meant. I felt like a genius, but I felt so left out.

My parents never sat down and talked to me about sex. The only thing they ever did was tell me “don’t watch porn.” And I was like “what’s porn?”

Women in 1988: I want my plastic Sea turtles in 2019: *I want my plastic*

European here. We had two classes of sex ed. One in elementary school, where the basics were explained (what's sex, masturbation, etc. and how puberty works). The other one in middle school where it was more about the real world (how to draw boundaries in a relationship, ie. don't have sex if you're not prepared, STIs). What I still remember is how the general knowledge part was given to both boys and girls but then we were separated, so we could ask embarrassing questions without judgement. Yes, that took a full day of school but it was really educational.

Tylers dad is also Mr. Poe in netflixs Series of Unfortunate events.

"You grew 3 inches" Like HOLY SHIT THAT WAS WORDED SO POORLY

I went to a Christian middle school where a lady yelled at us and said we would go to hell if we did oral, and then at the art high school I went to we had a representative from planned parenthood give us a thorough comprehensive education about sex, anatomy, and safety and there was a HUGE emphasis on consent and inclusivity. Afterwards she handed out free condoms and dental dams and offered to speak with people after class who were too shy to ask questions in front of everyone. So you could say I had drastically different experiences with sex ed

13:58 that must have been a hard line read for that kid... props to the little guy

When I was in high school, we had sex ed when I was in the fourth grade, and it was entirely clinical. We learned the names of body parts and that was about it. The next time I had sex ed was senior year, and the entirety of the program, which took a few days to get through, was about abstinence. There was nothing in there about safe sex practices, or forming healthy relationships, or the importance of consent, or anything like that. There was absolutely zero nuance, no helpful information, and even some outright lies. For example, at one point they told us that the HIV virus is so small that it can easily pass through the wall of a condom. They told us that sperm cells are so small that they often pass straight through condoms. They straight up told us "Don't use condoms, because they do not work. Instead, just don't have sex." And all of their "advice" was geared strictly towards heterosexual sex. Now, at this point I had already come out as gay, so people in my class new that a lot of what they were saying didn't apply to me. A friend of mine at one point took the initiative to ask "What about gay sex?" The instructor visibly paled and said "We're not allowed to talk about that." And we just moved on. Shit was wild.

My parents never talked to me about sex until I was in my 20s and in the middle of a multi-year relationship: -Dad: so you know to use condoms, right? -Me: yes

These videos today: "This sex education video is brought to you by Raid: Shadow Legends"

The first video Eddie showed was literally the one they taught us with. They had the boys and the girls taught separately and for the boys they had the meanest teacher in the school teach the class and even he was holding back laughter throughout the video

My school basically showed us diagrams of how the internal process of everything worked. But never actually did anything more than that aside from “go ask your parents”

I got one of those Reeses “are you drooling? Good.” Commercials halfway through this video and it was the worst

0:50 “Oh it hit the back of my throat”. (Realizes how that could relate to the video) “...OH man.”

Lol, the first video. I think the narration was for a blind audience. Sometimes it’s an option for tv and film (audio description). And I totally agree, it’s probably one of the most informative videos for the time (even if it was sorta awkwardly executed).

I had no idea videos before RU-vid ended with "Thanks for Watching" cards. I legit thought *you* edited that in at first, then pissed my pants laughing that you didn't, but then ended *your* video the same way! 🤣🤣

Tyler: I'm short Tyler's dad: I was hard when I was your age

In our class, the teacher said that girls bleed out their minge every month, and a bloke in the back just screams “WHAT? HOW ARE THEY OKAY?” And it was the single only time I felt validated as a young girl. That 12 year old boy gets it.

in my school the person pretty much said don't get an STD and wait till marriage. she didn't explain what an STD or sex was, and she was a nurse that was qualified to do that

I remember my own experience with sex ed. It wasn't weird, and I found the classes to be really interesting and informative. At the back of the class was a student who kept yelling out alternate names for sex organs, and she eventually told her parents about what she saw during the classes. They lodged a complaint, as the classes 'hurt their daughter's eyes'.

I can personally say I have never ever noticed an erection in my life. Boys, yall are safe around me.

he's not actually narrating the story weirdly, you've just found a version for the visually impaired so they narrate the story in more detail.

I have had the "Where am I now?" Chorus stuck in my head for 3 days Eddy. 3. DAYS.

Watching this as an elementary school P.E. teacher who's literally teaching sex ed to all of the fifth graders this week was great, thanks Eddy :)

“So it’s like a branded educational video” Welcome to female health.

Eddy also taught me about spiders and centipedes :)

I never had the “conversation” with my parents, I don’t think they realized I was growing up

My mom tried to give me a puberty book when I was like 9 and I never looked at it because it made me feel bad about myself and THATS on being trans :)

Okay I grew up in rural Texas and literally never had sex ed. My parents didn't tell me much bc they're weird and sexually repressed. So I learned everything I needed to know through fan fiction. I'm not proud, but these are the facts.

As a man who frequently brings a guitar into the bathroom, I have never felt more accepted.

I remember my sex ed teacher saying there are three things we won't be covering: abortion, masturbation and homosexuality. Keepin it classy, rural Manitoba!

This may or may not be true, but I work at a school for blind kids and the way the first video is narrated, it sounds like it may be an audio described video. Meaning the narration may have been added specifically to explain things to a blind viewer. There's a specific way those descriptions usually sound (such as interjecting "Tyler frowned" between lines of dialogue) that this is very reminiscent of, to me. May or may not be the case, but I thought it was interesting.

Eddy: "Probably the worst person to teach about safe sex" Me: "Oh god. Is it Bill Cosby?"

I think that weird narration is from some sort of disability captioning, like if you were blind you’d know what was happening

My dad talked to me. He said "you know about that stuff right??" I said "yeah, I learned about that at school." Dad signed and was like "ok. Cool" Learnt absolutely NOTHING from that.. Thanks dad 👍👍👍👍👍
