I think we didn't get any sex education until age 12 or 13, by which time it was all giggles and innuendo in the classroom during the lessons
I and many of my associates didn't grow up to be 'confused' about our gender, we were having too much fun playing and growing up to let all that grown up stuff affect us.
Shame schools don't push more on teaching manners & respect instead of sex education IMO
I appreciate kids are much more aware of many things at an earlier age nowadays, and they now have instant access to anything and everything at their finger tips . . something which wasn't a boon (or a problem? ) for us.

Yes, children have access to porn from a very early age in a way that we didn't (IIRC at an average age of 8). As you will probably know, porn gives a false perception of what a loving relationship is and how to treat your sexual partner, so it's important that this is balanced by proper education.
