I didn't have sex until I was 15, but I knew all about AIDs, herpes, gonorhea, syphilis, chlamydia, abortion and birthcontrol thanks to school sex-ed when I starting having it. Maybe it was just because I was in Canada.

I think so too, because I knew all of that stuff as well. Someone pretty much convinced me that I'd catch all sorts of things unless condoms were on and that I'd be pregnant on the first try if I wasn't using some sort of birth control.
I went to catholic school through eighth grade, but our biology class was pretty comprehensive on the "how babies are made". I vaguely recall someone with a banana and a condom as early as sixth or seventh grade, but maybe that was my parents making sure that I had good sex ed. In my freshman year of high school, I learned all of that stuff again with more details and the absolute stress of condom use.
The first time I had sex with someone who didn't immediately pull out a condom, I was shocked. Of course, I had my own, but it never occurred to me that everyone else didn't immediately associate casual sex=condom. My boyfriend still finds condoms all over the house and in every piece of luggage.
