I believe that sex-ed in my family can be summed up as such:
 
"If you ever get pregnant, I'll kill you.  Then I'll raise the baby while you go to college."

I had a pretty miserable adolescence (early and somewhat extreme development, parental divorce) at an all-girls school, and then proceeded to go that bastion of Social Normativity, the University of Chicago, so I know exactly how to make certain my kids will never have teenage sex.

FWIW, my parents NEVER talked to me about sex. To this day. I'm 39.
Therefore, I didn't talk to them about it either. There was no one I
was interested in in high school, so it wasn't really an issue until
college when I was no longer living in my parents' house, but still.
I guess they figured we got whatever needed in sex ed class, the last
of which I think was maybe 8th grade? Maybe if I did have a
boyfriend it would have come up, but my brother had a girlfriend, I
think, and I still don't think it came up, at least not in my
presence and not that he told me about. I decided independently that
I didn't want to do it just to say I had done it if I wasn't in a
relationship, and I really didn't like my high school classmates
much, so it wasn't an issue. Maybe my parents were more concerned
with my lack of friends than the possibility of having too-close
friends. Who knows?
