Reproduction basics (simple)

• Sexual intercourse occurs when a penis enters a vagina; sperm from the penis can meet an egg from the ovary and cause pregnancy.
• Eggs are released monthly from ovaries; sperm can fertilize an egg leading to pregnancy.
• Contraception (birth control) can prevent pregnancy; condoms also reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

Coming of Age in 1991: Why This Was the BEST Year for Puberty and Sexual Education for Boys and Girls

By: The RetroEd Team

If you were a tween in 1991, your world looked very different from today’s. There were no parental control apps on smartphones (because there were no smartphones). There was no TikTok to explain periods, and YouTube didn’t exist to show you how to put on a condom. Instead, you had a VHS tape, a mimeographed handout from the school nurse, and perhaps the bravest parent in your zip code sliding a paperback book across the kitchen table.

Looking back, 1991 stands as a landmark year—perhaps the BEST year—for the intersection of puberty and sexual education. It was the last moment of "analog" innocence before the internet fragmented the conversation into dangerous echo chambers or, conversely, oversaturated it with medical jargon.

In 1991, a few progressive schools held combined sessions covering: Puberty Sexual Education for Boys and Girls —

1. STDs – heavy emphasis on HIV/AIDS (how it is and isn’t transmitted – no toilet seats, yes blood/semen/vaginal fluids). Also herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia (often called “silent” in girls).
2. Contraception – condoms (latex, with spermicide nonoxynol-9 – now known to cause irritation), the Pill (how it works, must be prescribed). The diaphragm, sponge, and withdrawal were mentioned but discouraged. Failure rates taught: typical use vs. perfect use.
3. Pregnancy options – rarely discussed abortion (illegal in many minds? No – Roe v. Wade was law; but schools avoided it). Adoption and teen parenting difficulties were shown via films like “The Baby’s Story” (teen mom struggles).

What was still missing:

• No HPV (discovered as STD cause in 1980s, not yet widely taught).
• No dental dams or oral sex risks.
• No LGBTQ+ inclusive language.
