That the first time you have sex, it's different for everybody! For some women, PIV sex will be absolutely painless, for some it'll hurt a little, and for some that pain isn't a sign that they should just power through, but that their body is trying to tell them something important.
That they had taught us how to safely get sexual health services and resources in the community without needing parental permission.
And I just reallllly wish that we could discuss our societal feelings about sex in these classes, too. Discussing things like why we shouldn't say "clean" when we mean STI free, or that it's wrong to disparage others for the choices they make with their bodies.
