This often leads girls to grow up thinking that their role during sex is simply to please their male partner (while preventing pregnancy or STDs). Thoughts?

In 8th grade, they taught about male and female parts (not in details like you described above but you know, the general parts), how babies are produced, abstinence, birth control, and STD prevention.
I don't know if any more would be appropriate for teens. I think some things you learn as an adult while you explore with your spouse/ partner.
