September 25, 2022

How much sex ed do you know? A lot of folks don’t get sex education in the United States, and for the states that do require it, for many, it doesn’t even have to be medically accurate (yikes). Did you get sex education in school? Let’s test your knowledge. See how much you already know. How did you do? If you’re needing a bit of a refresher, there are plenty of online resources.
