What will come across your mind when we mention about "sex education" ? Will you think of something that make you feel discomfort? Usually, when we ask people about their opinion toward "sex education", firstly, they will give us kindly of discomfort facial expression. Maybe this is due to the culture and environment factor that we have in eastern countries.
Let's talk about sex education seriously! Actually sex education not only about sex alone, but it is a kind of education that educate people about human sexual anatomy, sexual reproduction, sexual intercourse, reproductive health, emotional relations, reproductive rights and responsibilities, contraception, and also other aspect of human sexual behaviors. Besides, it also include family planning, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), ways to avoid STIs and also birth control methods.
Basically, sex education is being taught formally and informally. In most countries nowadays, part of the sex education are being taught as a full course within the curriculum in junior high school or high school. Usually, it is just a part of the biology class, health class, economic class or physical education class. That makes sex education even harder to be explored by the new generations. Sex education may be taught informally, people can gain information through their conversation with friends, family, or even teachers. They can also get the information the media, which include magazine advice columnist, sex self-help author or even through the web site related to sex education.
Sad to say that Malaysia's sex education is basically focus on the biological side which is more to biology knowledge. We are not being expose to a deeper level of sex education. Maybe this is due to our culture and environment factors again. We are simply touching the surface of sex education while we ourselves thought that we know what sex education really about.
Last time, I conducted a survey among students in Malacca Matriculation College, the results came back to what I mentioned just now. Now the problem is we thought we know about sex education yet we do not know. The main point here is that we need to make a change, at lease changing our attitude toward sex education.
I hope that after reading this post, you'll know more about sex education, at lease knowing that sex education is not only about sex. If you want to know more, please leave your comment and I'll post more information about sex education.
