Sometime earlier this year, via a series of word-of-mouth recommendations, I stumbled across Caitlain's Corner.
I quote from her site front page:
And she actually does it. CC has articles on everything from how to ask for a first date to "selecting and using strap-ons" and a whole lot in between. Everything, even things which might normally be considered outlandish, is presented in the same matter-of-fact and accessible manner. The practical advice is far and above anything I ever found in the Puberty Guidebooks i read as a teenager. She's very clear that she designed the site as an anti-dote to abstinence only sex-ed, but I see no reason why her information should be any less useful to those who plan on having only marital sex. A wedding certificate doesn't come with any kind of advice on what to do LATER.
Caitlan's Corner is good stuff. Read it yourselves, and/or recommend it to any young people in your aquaintance.

The web site is designed to provide honest, legitimate sex education to pre-teens, teens and young adults so that they can grow up with a safe, healthy appreciation for sex and their sexuality!...
Caitlain's Corner is about more than just "sex," though. It is a comprehensive look at your sexuality. We'll teach you the techniques, but more importantly, we're going to put sex into context for you - we'll help you figure out and deal with the tremendous number of variables that go into defining who you are sexually. Whether you realize it or not, your sexuality is, and always will be, one of the central components of your "self." We're going to arm you with the information you need to make sure you make safe, informed, rational decisions about sex.
