We had Sex Ed in 5th grade in TX. It consisted of separating the boys and the girls. The boys learned the names of male anatomy and I’m assuming the girls learned the female anatomy. Then they told us we’d get diseases if we had sex before marriage and gave us a goodie bag. I don’t know what the girls got, but the boys got a stick of deodorant, a hand mirror, some shaving cream, and a 2 bladed disposable razor. No instructions on why or how to use them. I guess they assumed us 10 year olds would figure the rest out ourselves.
