Sex Education: How it's Helpful and Why it's Necessary

[Anonymous]

Sex education is the process of educating people about relationships and intimacy. It helps people protect themselves against abuse, exploitation, abortions etc.

- For some people, sex education is still not necessary as it hurts their religious sentiments.

It mainly focuses on Relationships, unwanted pregnancies, and reproduction.

Why sex education?

- People are educated about different STD’s, AIDS etc.

- Lack of sex education results in unnecessary abortions.

- People are not aware of contraceptive pills, condoms and other means to avoid pregnancy. This also results in harm to reproductive organs.

- Sex education is not just about teaching about sex. It’s about teaching how reproductive organs are built, stages that a boy and girl go through, relationships etc.

- Ideally sex education should start from the onset of puberty.

- Sex education should not just be in schools. It should start from home as well. Parents should not feel conscience about discussing queries raised.

- People should get rid of the stigma attached to the word “sex”. Sex education will definitely reduce criminal acts like rape, sexual abuse etc as people will be literate enough to realize the consequences.

lol... nope. Sex education won't do many of these things like prevent rape, stds, and abortions. Just like sex education won't reduce the number of sex workers or people who use them.

Sex is not the issue. Rape for example is about power. Guys who get commited for rape can only be commited if they prove that he knew what he was doing. So why did he do it anyway?

Yup sex, in everything is the easy part. The distortion of sex and the consequences thereof are rooted in deeper psychological issues.
