Understanding physical anatomy and the ways in which diseases could be spread are still useful to you, are they not? Nor is understanding consent a bad thing or useless (unless you only do things by yourself). The fact that some things that one may learn may not prove overly useful does not mean that the majority of it must be useless. Plus, it may turn out to help you in your interactions with others if you understand the sorts of things that they might be up to. So I think a good, general, sex education is good for everyone. And one will then have a starting point for doing further research on one's own, if whatever was discussed was not in-depth enough regarding your specific interests.
