"Young men are not receiving the education they need before college. When education is inconsistent, incomplete, or absent, young men show up on campuses with varying levels of knowledge about sex and healthy relationships."
"To meet young men where they are, prevention education must consider how past experiences with sex education inform college men's current belief systems, and training should adapt to these varying levels of knowledge and understanding."
"More than half of respondents first learned about sex from some sort of media. Fifty-eight percent of respondents said they had not been taught about consent and sexual communication in a formal sexual education setting before college."
"Participants whose sex education encouraged 'hierarchical family values' were more likely to report higher hostility toward women, as did participants who were taught to be apprehensive about sex."
A report from It's On Us reveals that many young men enter college without adequate sexual education. Less than one in three learned about sex through formal education. Over half learned about sex from media, and 58% had no formal training on consent. Many received sexual education from family or trusted adults, with Black respondents more likely to have community-based education. Less than half of school-based education covered healthy relationships, and those with hierarchical family values showed higher hostility toward women.
