Abstract

Sexuality has always been a part of the human condition and people have always wished to understand it better. However, to focus upon the history of sex education in the United States without recognizing that it extends much further back in the past two centuries of our nationhood would present an erroneous picture. Of course, what passed for sex education in the distant past was a weird combination of facts, superstitions, and myths. Many will say that this condition is with us yet, and certainly there is much still to be known. And it is true that sex education has been regarded as a specialized study only within this century. A survey of the various approaches to sex education prior to the 1900s, although extremely interesting, would be too extensive to undertake here. We will, therefore, be looking almost entirely at the contemporary history of sex education in the United States.
