Me neither, but the grown-up side of the library back then did not have instructional books for teenagers on how to have homosexual intercourse.
In fact, instructions on having intercourse of any sort weren't in the grown-up side of any library I went to in the 80s. I'd be very surprised if you went to a library that did direct teens and younger to instructions on having intercourse.
Why is it a problem for teenagers to learn about sex? A thing that almost every human on earth engages in, with the desire to do so emerging in their teenage years… It seems completely obvious and normal.

I didn't say it is. It's a problem when a group of adults outside of the formal education system wants to provide instructional material to children against their parents wishes.
I was pointing out that libraries make a call on what legal material to stock and what not to stock. The unstocked material is not in any sense of the word 'banned'.
