ABSTRACT
The author's sex education in her Catholic school was of a particularly uninformative kind. In her freshman year of high school she had the most Sex-Education she would receive while in primary and secondary school. College was a new chapter for her in her understanding of sex. From kindergarten to senior year of high school, the message was consistent and clear: premarital sex was a sin and should not be done. It was not until she took courses in the Women, Gender, and Sexuality department that she finally began to feel more informed. In her four years at UVa she is surprised by how much she learned about herself. She says that she had begun seeing sex as this scary and avoidable thing, but in new surroundings and with new perspectives she has been able to see there is so much more to sex.
