It's fucking trash and contributes significantly to many of the fucked viewpoints Americans have towards women, sex, gender, whatever
My sex ed was basically 'abstinence only' and 'having sex before marriage will give you an STD'; we literally signed 'abstinence pledges' in like 8th grade (which is age 13-14)
Fucking child abuse holy shit. Sex Ed where I live is great, when I was a kid it was still was better than what you're describing, but now it's incredible - kids learn about transgender, pronouns, normalize being gay/bi/ace etc, it's good shit.
I have definitely heard this phrase before, I remember a couple women I used to be friends with kinda internalizing it and saying that if someone has had sex with upwards of 20 dudes marriage was an unlikely prospect for whatever reason.
I don't know how much anyone believed it (most kids knew the STD thing was stupid and wrong), and no one really took the abstinence pledge thing seriously aside from some religious kids who were probably going by that standard anyway
That said, it's still incredibly fucked up, and we were taught basically nothing useful
A friend of mine is training as a paramedic and was studying for an exam to prove that he was suited to become a fulltime paramedic when he told me that he only recently found out what the clitoris was because he'd never had it covered in sex-ed in his (christian) secondary school. He's 20 years old.
I've heard the joke a zillion times about guys just being selfish shitheads, but like, does anyone actually not remember after even one person tells/shows them? It's right fuckin' there lol
American sex ed man

That's good.
Don't have your kids go to public school in the fucking Bible Belt, and if you do be sure to explain this shit to them

Watch the sex ed scene in Mean Girls. It's funny because it's true.

American christianity is a hell of a drug
mine was abstinence only and then we had to perform a play about it which I can only descibe the writing of as deeply racially insensitive.
