First year sex ed
Two memories stand out from that rather confused and unsettling time.

Firstly, I vaguely remember a discussion about semen, which ended in hilarity when Matthew Buttery, not the brightest penny in the jar, said "Oh, is that the white stuff that smells a bit like bleach?"

Secondly, the science teacher was talking to my group. Our science teacher was a rather buxum young lady who I'm sure inspired more than one boy's nocturnal merry-making. She was talking about how the female body developes, and asked my friend Rowena about the changes that occur at puberty.

Rowena was struggling with embarassment so the teacher said "Well, for instance, Rowena, what's the difference between me and you?" Rowena falteringly replied "erm, well, miss, you've got . . . b . . . breasts."

Possibly not the nicest thing to do to an insecure 12 year old with a chest like two peas on a cutting board.
