We examined young gay, bisexual and questioning men's (YGBQM) experiences with school-based sex education as they sought to learn about sex and sexual health, and their suggestions for improving same-sex education resources. Thematic analysis of 30 in-depth interviews with YGBQM (ages 18-24) underscored the discrepancies between the existing school-based sex education curricula and YGBQM's perceived sex education needs. Our results show that many youths' sexuality and same-sex sexual behaviors are excluded in sex education lessons; however, YGBQM noted that they sought out other resources (e.g., websites) to answer their questions. We discuss YGBQM's ideas for the creation of a sex and sexual health website that would be tailored for youth like themselves, including topics and features that an ideal website would contain. In addition, we present recommended changes to existing school-based sexual education curricula.
我们调查了年轻的男同性恋、双性恋和性取向存疑的男性（YGBQM）在接受学校性教育时的经历，他们试图了解性和性健康方面的知识，以及他们对改善同性教育资源的建议。对30名年龄在18至24岁的YGBQM进行的深度访谈的主题分析强调了现有的学校性教育课程与YGBQM所认为的性教育需求之间的差异。我们的研究结果表明，许多青少年的性取向和同性性行为在性教育课程中被排除在外；然而，YGBQM指出，他们会寻找其他资源（如网站）来解答他们的问题。我们讨论了YGBQM关于创建一个专门为像他们这样的年轻人量身定制的性与性健康网站的想法，包括理想网站应包含的主题和功能。此外，我们还提出了对现有学校性教育课程的建议性改进措施。
