An anonymous inquiry at the start of Kathy Harms’ two-week sex
education course read: “I thought vulva made cars.” It came as no
surprise to the teen pregnancy prevention educator, who regularly
encounters sexual myths in Oklahoma City’s seventh- and eighth-grade
classrooms. She’s met teens who think inserting a red skittle into the
vagina after intercourse will prevent pregnancy and others who say
swallowing semen can actually cause pregnancy — because babies grow in
the stomach.
