However, that was during elementary school, In high school, sex education became a part of health class, just a small curriculum, because by then, we really had known all about it, and our teachers got that.   I think there was a permission slip for that too, but it wasn't a big deal because we already knew about sex, and our parents got that. It was more to tell us about STD risks and pregnancy risks.  What kind of materials used in condoms didn't fully protect.  By that time, it was assumed and known that at least SOME and honeslty, at least a quarter of the students, were having or had sex already.  It was to our benefit. "Well established gender roles give structure to a chaotic environment and are often a necessity in economically poorer regions for survival." I disagree.  I think male and female should be equals, and I think that when they are equals in the bedroom, sex works BETTER.  One example, although I know there are many ways I could go with this, is that usually guys are at blame for being the horny ones, who are always wanting the sex and its ALWAYS their fault if things went to far or something.  In reality, that's not true.  Girls are at fault too.  Because we ARE equals, despite whatever culture and society has been trying to make us believe.  We're both human, both craving sexually, and gender roles are a load of bullshit culture and society wants us to believe is keeping communities structures and together.  No way.  It's like religion in a way...people would rather you don't ask questions and believe blindly....makes a more structured community...the minute people ask questions starts chaos...but it's our right, it's our NATURE.  free will free choice.  we're not robots, despite culture trying to program us as such. I do think that yes, our society has become more chaotic then the past.  I think children are becoming less innocent and more evil earlier.  Evil...yes I did say that.  In a way, I wonder if it's because we are trying to overcompensate for the past.  I think of the 70's.  They were overcompensating for their strict, rule-lived structural past.  It's like our drinking age...21...everyone goes out and get's drunk and over compensates for the years they couldn't legally drink...but in Europe where kids drink with family at young age...it's no big deal.  They don't understand why it's a big deal here, or what we are trying to overcompensate for. Had we not made such a big fuss in the first place, sex never would have never been that big of a deal.  Because really, it's just sex.  We're human.  We have a sexual drive.  It's the same as a we're human...we get hungry, we eat food.  Big whoop!  First of all, having been taught sex education in the US, no, sex ed was not an elective, but neither was it forced.  The parents had to sign a permission slip for the child to enter the class, and if they didn’t, it was assumed they would be responsible for informing their children.

okie back to main topic…the age for first time sex is falling….kids with independence is increasing….the society is getting more dangerous…higher chances of contracting disease or being molested/raped….the kinds of sex (straight, gay, alternate) are also under greater focus these days…for their own safety…the need to be educated….who and where is a really difficult thing to understand of the cuff

It should be incorporated at the high school level. We do have sensitization programmes but those are confined to a special set of "sincere" students and as mentioned, with the increasing numbers of teenage pregnancies and rapes, everyone needs to be aware of such things.
