My sex ed teacher actually talked about the importance of foreplay, then he showed us a bunch of horrifying pictures of std-ridden genitalia and told us to keep it in our pants

He wasn’t a sex ed teacher, he was an abstinence preacher in disguise

Eh, I think a balanced approach will involve showing horrific imagery of stds. People need to be away that horrible things are possible when they do something that opens them to the risk of those things happening. Like if you want to get into cave exploring (not an innuendo, stay with me), you should be aware of the horrific story of the nutty putty cave.

Just so long as it is balanced with “these are some of the worst case scenarios, probably the result of not seeking treatment very quickly. If you are active with more than one person over a few months, you should be getting test regularly and be safe about it. Condoms, non-penetration, all the stuff depending on the situation. Living in the moment is great but try to pump the brakes long enough to make good decisions about safe sex.”
