What is sex education ?

Love and sex is blooming among the youth, mainly because of early physical and psychological development, and the influences of foreign cultures and modern lifestyles. Adapted from Metro Prima Ahad, a 14 year old student known as " Andy " admitted for paying RM5 " for a round of sex " with a senior at school, adding they would either " do it " at his or her home. Nowadays sex is very normal among youth.

So sex education should be taught in school, partly because it is a means by which they are helped to protect themselves against abuse, exploitation, unintended pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS.

What is sex education is really about ? Sex education, which is sometimes called sexuality education and relationships education, is the process of acquiring information and forming attitudes and beliefs about sex, sexual identity, relationships and intimacy. Sex education is also about developing young people's skills so that they make informed choices about their behaviour, and feel confident and competend about acting on these choices. It is widely accepted that young people have a right to sex education.

I would be pleased if someone can drop me a comment after reading my post.

This is a nice topic.Sex education is a broad term used to describe education about human sexual anatomy, sexual reproduction, sexual intercourse, reproductive health, emotional relations, reproductive rights and responsibilities, contraception, and other aspects of human sexual behavior. Common avenues for sex education are parents or caregivers, school programs, and public health campaigns.
