I think that kids will probably figure it out on their own at some point.
I survived high school without having sex or masturbating, and I don't feel any worse off for it. I can't imagine having sex at 15 - 16. There's no way I was ready for it.
My HS experience may have been atypical, even for the time.
I went to Catholic HS with about 1,400 students composed of city and middle-class suburban kids. There were about 350 students in my class. Everyone got along pretty well and there weren't really any cliques. The troublemakers and kids that did like it there were thrown our or left within the first couple of years. All of my friends came from stable, two-parent homes where dad worked and mom stayed at home.
I'd have to say that HS and my last two years of college were probably the happiest periods of my life and I wasn't "getting any".
