I think our society is too proliferate with sexual content to be shouted down or censored by a single voice -- even a parent's. A parent or sex ed teacher can say: 'sex is bad'. What they have to contend with are sexually themed advertisements, celebrities who are famous and make a lot of money who dress and act like sluts, and other influences which say: 'sex is the best thing ever'.
When it comes down to listening to parents or a sex ed teacher, adolescents will often choose to listen to celebrities and the mainstream media and follow their way of doing things, instead.
As a parent, how to convince a child they're right and a celebrity who is famous, makes millions of dollars and is very "successful" is wrong? That's key, I think. There's a big conflict between what parents and sex ed teachers say and what society and culture say.
