Sex Ed on the Net
We all know that the web is a major source of information
However, on the subject of sex, it can be tricky to find the sites that actually give you medically correct and useful information, and avoid the ones that not only will give your parents a fit, but often feed into all the urban legends out there.
Here are a number of good sites that are informative, useful and occasionally fun:
