This poll is meaningless. Why, you ask? A little thing in statistics called "bias."
The people coming to this website will be mostly people who are searching for information via the internet on the given topic. Those who do not feel the necessity or desire to seek out such information on the web, for whatever reason, will not view this poll and consequently will not vote.
Thus, the poll has a high degree of inherent bias: the result will be skewed (not screwed) toward the "Online sex ed sites and resources" catagory having the most votes.
I'd totally expect us to see many users answering an online poll picking online sources more than they might if asked the question in another environment. But I think most of us here are intelligent enough to figure that when reading the results: it's not rocket science.
However, even when a poll of any kind may have some kind of inherent bias, or skew towards a certain answer, people may still find taking the poll or looking at the answers of interest to them. And if it's meaningless to anyone, that's okay.
I was a frustrated virgin until age 24 and I fought my frustration by learning everything about sex, the real thing, not vicious myths and lies, because I knew when I did have sex I wanted to reward my partner with the best sexual experience of her life. Professional websites by concerned, responsible sexual health experts were the biggest help.
I learned most from Our Whole Lives (OWL), a program at the Unitarian church my parents went to. Fantastic and informative program, I hope some day every one can have something like it :)
Exactly the same for me. Not only did it teach me the mechanics, but I also learned a lot of tolerance for different sexualities, genders, and socially-unacceptable relationships, plus about the possible effects of casual and committed sex.

My Human Sexuality teacher is the best teacher I've had so far, on that subject and any other. Scarleteen comes a close second to her.
