My friend says in the middle east, sex is not taught in school and parents dont talk about it to their kids (those that are old enough to know). So where do they learn about it before they go into marriage?
lol, you are seriously implying that in the middle east, people do not know how to have sex.
Hmm…I wonder why they keep having kids…

READ THIS,DONT MIX CULTURE WITH RELIGION….Im glad you said "middle east" and not "muslims"
http://wasalaam.wordpress.com/2007/01/23/heba-kotb-on-sex-and-muslims/
At the time of the prophet, muslims men and women were never too shy to ask the prophet about all affairs, including such private affairs as sexual life, so as to know the teachings and rulings of their religion concerning them. As Aisha, the wife of the prophet testified, "Blessed are the women of the Ansar (the citizens of Madina). Shyness did not stand in their way seeking knowledge about their religion." (All except Termizi).
The way the ladies asked the prophet-directly or through his wives is a proof that sexual matters were not taboo but were fully acknowldged and respected. "Shyness is part of the faith" as the prophet taught, but he also taught "There is no shyness in matters of religion" even entailing the delicate aspects of sexual life.
It is our firm belief that facts about sex should be taught to children in a way commensurate with their age as they grow up both by the family and the school. We emphasize that this should be done within the total context of Islamic ideology and Islamic teaching, so that the youth-beside getting the correct physiologic knowledge become fully aware on the sanctity of the sexual relation in Islam and the grave sin of blemishing such sanctity whether under Islamic law, or far more important in the sight of God. Provided the Islamic conscience is developed we see no reason to shun sex education (unfortunately the rule in many muslim countries), and we believe it is better to give the correct teaching rather than leave this to chance and to incorrect sources and to the concomitant feeling of guilt by the hush-hush atmosphere in which this is done.

It’s similar in Desi culture.
My dad said that he learned about sex and what to do and what not to do through his Islamic mentor, and I guess that’s how others learn of it.
My parents never thought me either, it’s just that living in the western world, I was able to piece the pieces together with things from pop culture and TV.

there are sex classes but its not the full details like a western country would.
no drawings no videos no showing how to give oral sex or condoms on.
they just describe that there are two holes, one is more to the back this one you dont put your penis in, the other hole you do. the one more to the front.
and they put the thumb and index finger to make like a drop shape and say this is what the vagina looks like.
and then they tell you what is and isnt haraam when youre married and what is and isnt haraam to do to your wife or husband.
thats it.

I’ve always noticed that once in a while Islamic clerics get questions from their congregation about "Is it right to have anal sex" and "Why is homosexuality considered immoral"…I bet they learn from it from there….and even if they don’t they gotta learn it from somewhere as there is a high birthrate in many Islamic countries.
Also, contrary to popular belief, most of the countries in the middle east are secular so I think at least, there would be any resistance to sex education in most Muslim countries.
