Oooo I genuinely have my ear ringing now! AudiOW. Hello hello! So last week you guys
really seemed to like my video where talk about the differences between schools in
the UK and America actually had left out a part that Emma had forgotten which was
about the bleep test something that british people hated a lot! And I forgot about the
part where in uni, I could actually bring a sheet of notes with me to take an exam which some
people freak out about it. It makes it easy but even if you like have a written sheet of paper
you're still not gonna do well if you can't memorise the stuff. Oh my God. I beg to differ. Oh my God. Please! Imagine just having that sheet of information! I'd just write down everything! No? But while we're on the topic of
differences between UK and America I thought of something really interesting
sex ed. I'm interested. Cause you were raised in a very... I'm from Jersey so like something just to start off with
is, what the education system is in Jersey isn't as bad as some other states
and it's probably better than other states so it's kinda like in England
where i guess its lot different than Wales or Scotland or Northern Ireland. What was the earliest
age you learned about sex? I think, well... Like what age were you? My parents did a good job kindof like
integrating it when I was younger younger. But like in terms of school year 5 which is when
we were like 9 or 10? I was in fifth grade we really just learnt about puberty though. I didn't learn about
sex at all I just remember there was a picture of a penis on the screen and
this is a penis and then this little nerdy kid whose name is Greg was like
Uhm, what's testosterone? And everyone went hahaha. Why's he sound like the gingerbread man from Shrek? Yeah so that's all I really learned. I learned a penis looks like this and then sometimes looks like this. Basically we had to watch a movie with
us
the annoyances of being a male. It was just a little boy laying in his bed, waking up and going ooooh.... my bed's wet...and sticky! Ahhh! I don't wanna hear! And it was like
this happens... Why? Yeah! You're a boy. It never explained what it was! I didn't know what wet dreams were. I thought it was like, I don't know. So when did you learn about wet dreams? Ahh that was year 5 again, but I just had no idea what they were. I thought you'd just wake up, and the bed would be soaking. Yeah like just covered in... EWW. My parents didn't really teach me much.
I remember when I was like in kindergarten, and I asked my mom, mom why does my penis
get hard. And she went: Someone's talkin' about you. Like, just imagine, if I'm like, the first time I'm about to have sex I get into it, it gets hard, and I'm like, hold on. Someone's talking about me right now.
And it's not Jesus. Well it might be. I'm ashamed of that boy. Oh no! A lot of people learn I've heard that when you're penis points up, it's pointing to God. Oh my gosh! Oh God no! In America,
I know a couple people that when they got their first period
their parents threw them a party and made them cake. A period party. No, we're very open in our family, so like me and my mum would chat about it normally. That's healthy. I think in school, there was one girl who thought she was dying. There's always a story about that. I was like a compulsive liar though so like I always used to tell people I had already started when I was like 10.
Oooo. Really? It was so stupid, yeah. I had a friend that when she first had her period, she had never learned about it cause they didn't teach it to her yet and she was 13, and that's crazy that in America you didn't learn that you have your period till you're 13
But either way she'd had it and she thought she was doing something wrong so
she began to hide it and she like tried to suck it up with towels and stuff and
then when her mom found all the bloody towels, instead of going oh no! This is... you're having your period. It's okay.
She grounded her. Yeah. She grounded her for having a period. America. Were they quite open about it in America? Cause like in Britain they're kindof like... well not my family. My dad tried to teach me the bird and the bees when I was
like 12. And he like sat me down when we were driving and he was like: I just wanna tell you, when you like a girl a lot, you end up... you stick your penis in her
vagina. And I went, and I just... piss in her? That's genuinely what I thought. I thought you stick your peepee in the woohoo and you go WHEEOO and you go pee. That sounds great! Good ol' time! That's cause I hadn't learned. It
wasn't until 9th grade in America when I actually had sex ed I think I was maybe 14? This makes me so uncomfortable! I remember like them talking about female masturbation and they were like...
they talked about that? Yeah. They never talked about that at all. This was like year 7, and they were like yes, there's like a button at the top and I was like, I've never heard of this button! Where's this button. I'm so confused. This is making me cringe. There's a button?! Like clicky clicky click. In 9th grade is when we watched
The miracle of life. Did you ever have to watch that movie? No. It's like, it shows a man and a woman having sex and then it shows like
the camera going through and you're like oh is there milk no that's not that's
not milk. It's uh... semen. Just pouring through the fallopian tubes
impregnating the egg, and you get to watch a woman give birth and you see the head come out and you're like ahh! We never spoke about anything. Really! You didn't learn about that?
Well no. Like they'd always draw the like ovaries, yeah with the little tubes. And they'd be like an egg comes here, and a little sperm comes up. So I thought that like every time you had sex you got pregnant. I thought that like every single time a man and a woman have sex
they would both ejaculate and cum at the same time. I didn't know women did that either. I thought it was just men and women just kinda went alright! In movies they always
do it at the same time and I'm like, that's how it works! In movies? Yeah like in movies when people have sex, they both...I was never allowed
to watch movies with sex I was like very sheltered. I didn't know much. One my favorite parts of my
sex ed class though cause everyone's like 13/14 were giggling about sex so our teacher
made us on the count of three shout the word penis
very loudly. We all went penis! And he's like now get the laughs out of your system. But actually someone from another class came in and went um,
The teacher of our class said if you shout penis one more time, you're gonna get in trouble. I don't know, we learned a lot about homosexuality and how it leads to aids
Oh my God. I remember that specifically. Oh my GOD. And it was like, oh! homosexuals: aids and STDs is something that you can protect against.
I learned that wearing a condom is important but I was, I never knew how to do that. I didn't even know
what one looked like until I was 18 and I reached my hand into a hole in a golf
course to get by ball out, and it came with a free condom. Someone had a hole-in-one
I thought that uhm... Uhh I just realised what you said. I thought that uhm... Sorry I'm just feeling it! I thought that condoms cam like in the shape so I thought you slip it on like a hat. What? Like a little hat! I never did the rolly banana thing. Oh I didn't know that either until I think Mean Girls? Was it in Mean Girls where they showed the condom going on a banana or something? I watched some American film and I was like oh I thought it also came like that.
So, that one geography teachers was like Well, once you're in a girl you can't really stop going. It's very difficult to pull out. Eww. That's not sex ed, that's geography. No, no, because sometimes teachers swap roles. Really? Yeah. For us we had, if a teacher was teaching sex ed,
it's because they're also a gym teacher or health teacher. You couldn't
be like, Hi! I teach math, and now I'm gonna teach you the statistic probability of getting laid. Right. My nickname or rather bully name in school was dildo. *laughs* Dildo-waddle. But I didn't know what it meant, so like in school, I put my hand and I was like
What's a dildo and everyone laughed. And then someone went, YOU ARE!
When was the first time you learned the word gay? Holy moly! Cause I remember I was six years
old. Really? I was at the play park we were playing in recess and i went up to hug my friend Matt
And he went, uh don't touch me, are you gay? And I went, what's that? I'm six years old and he went: gay is when
you like another dude and I was like well I like you a lot and I gave him a hug and then I got
called a fag a lot. And I was like yeah. Which to me was like I don't know why that's a bad thing either way. I remember singing, do you know that Australian nursery rhyme?
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree...laugh kookaburra laugh! Kookaburra, gay your life must be. And I remember singing that and someone was like what?! Did you just say gay?! Oh kookaburras are those birds we saw. Yeah the one's that go: *crazy bird noises*
There was NO education about gay sex at all. No. It was always like sex is when a man and a woman... there was nothing in between.
So a lot of Americans that are in education right now might've had to do the egg test.
Which is something that I had to do last year of health.
Is this that thing that happens in like tv shows and stuff. Yeah with the egg. Where you have to carry around a thing? Yeah.
So basically, I had to choose someone in my health class to be my wife, and we had to care for an egg and it like makes noises, and you have to keep it safe because it's signed. And if it gets a crack on it, you fail.
And like I didn't wanna do it with a girl cause I wasn't friends with many at the time so I was like oh I'll do it with my friend Jim, and my teacher was like, oh are you gay?
And I went: No. And she went, well you can't do it with him then. Aww flippin hell. So I went, why not? She went, you have to do it with man and girl.
and I went, that doesn't... why? And she went because if you're not gay you can't pretend to be
gay. And I was like,
she wanted it to be more real. So man and wife is real. I ended up getting an A on it, I kept my egg
very safe. Thank you. God, that's such an easy test. it's really not. You have to carry with you every class and other people that
aren't in the class know that you have it and they can
break it on you. What are you getting an A in? Parenting?
Imagine if you're getting married and they're like, wait, what'd you get on your parenting exam? Did you keep that egg safe? Noooo! Mom? *through tears*
He cracked his egg in 12th grade. He's not cut out for this baby.
I can't believe you guys didn't do that, you guys didn't have a sack of flour or anything?
I always used to watch it on tv shows like I remember one in That's So Raven It's the future I can see!
That was good.
Some of my health classes that I didn't have to take, some of the teachers are more extreme, and they actually had a full baby that was weighted 8 pounds.
Geez. And it like recorded when it was let down, when it wasn't picked up. It makes noises and if you don't attend to it at night, it literally will give you
points off. What a weird thing. I think it's like a nice rude awakening, but I think they did that so it'd be like: don't have sex or this baby will ruin your life.
I didn't have abstinence only education though. Don't have sex or you will get pregnant and die.
Basically, I didn't have that though. I mean that's for the most part what a lot of schools did but
in my school at least they were just like, if you're gonna have sex you should probably
be safe but we're not gonna tell you how to do that. Uhm, I'm interested. What did you learn about periods?
Like did you know anything? Nothing? I just knew that women bled out of their
vagina. Cause you still don't know. I just learned via a tumblr post like last year that women don't pee out of their vagina. Can you believe that?
How many holes are in the like female bottom area? Are you kidding? *holds up 3 fingers*
YEAH! Someone I had dated at one point,
when she had seen a penis for the first time she was like *gasp* how is that supposed to fit in me?
yeah. And she was like, I thought like they were paper thin to fit in the vagina. Okay, I never thought that. Like imagine just a paper thin penis.
I feel like for the most part, the internet taught me a lot of what I know. Cause the education system kinda failed me
Yeah, Internet and people experiencing it first-hand around me. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Like I didn't even know that like the asexuality spectrum existed until someone had told me
and went, you kinda sound like you're a bit demisexual, and I was like what?! What's that? Schools: improve. Improve. Like stop it. You're doing badly. Well I don't feel like it's the education system's...
Well, some people say it's your parents' responsibility but I feel
like as a country that wants to raise well-formed humans it might be in their best
interest to sort of help with that. I think so. So, that's our opinion, what's yours? Anyway, if you did like the video, please give it a like below
