by excuses, i mean reasons why men say they don't need a condom. They're sterile (why i'm here) they're on the pill (possibly believable to a 14-17 year old) doing jumping jacks prevents pregnancy, can't get pregnant in a lake and countless others. should these be taught to keep people from falling for them, or might they just teach people newer ways to get around wearing a condom?
should sex myths/excuses be taught in sex ed

They should be taught. That anyone who's old enough to have sex would manage to slip by believing that nonsense with no one to teach them the truth is inexcusable to me.

They should be taught -as myths- not -as truths-. However, I believe people need to start instilling in children the value that ALL PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN BEHAVIOR.

At my school, my teacher DID teach these to us, though they weren't in the curriculum. Though, he was also the same teacher who once told us that his first daughter was the result of one of these myth methods.

I didn't take Sex Ed in high-school, I tested out of it - but myth-related questions were on the test I had to take and you had to identify them as true or false.
Though, honestly, with the Internet I don't understand how anyone could believe that crap and the bitter part of me is inclined to think that with all the information available to them, you kind of deserve what you get. :/

I'd rather they teach facts. "Truth" is a matter of perspective.
