what time is suitable for sex education?

Answer 1

As much as people in Western societies are mortified by the concept, sexuality is something that is part of life from birth to death (after all, understanding our gender as either a boy or a girl and what that means to us is part of it, too).

There's no reason to deny your children knowledge of themselves as they seek it, because if you don't explain it right, chances are they're going to figure it out wrong.

Simply pick answers which are appropriate for their ages. There are TONS of books out there written to explain the fact of life for everyone from a two year old ("Everybody Poops"), all the way up to an adult ("The Joy of Sex", anyone?).

Just look for the information targeted to your child's questions (and maturity level), and honestly give them the details they need in the terms they can understand. Chances are they'll be just fine with the answers you give, and will grow up with much healthier attitudes about themselves and other people, than they would if you reacted as if they were doing something wrong by being curious.

Answer 2

It depends what degree of sex education.

Children as young as 5 years old ask their parents how babies are made. The parents can answer very simply, giving only the minimum amount of details.

As kids get older, they ask more questions, and it is parents' duty to answer.

By 7th grade, kids should have a full sex education class in school. The class should discuss STDs, contraceptives, and conception.

Answer 3

i think sex education must be there in the schools. At the age of 14/15 parent should tel them abt it.There should be some programs on sex education in schools so that children would get the right information abt sex

Answer 4

As some said there are always two sides to a coin. I don¡¯t think any education can be complete without understanding the flip side of it. It is only when we understand that we can take responsibility and be fair to ourselves when faced with the consequences.

Understanding goes a long way than just ¡°knowing¡±. Remember the college Chinese girl who contracted AIDS from her former foreign boyfriend after a one-year affair with him?

http://bbs.chinadaily.com.cn/vie ... page%3D6&page=1

AIDS is an incurable disease which means she will die in a matter of years depending on how quick the disease gets into her, her own constitution and the medical treatment available to her.

At the moment, China does NOT have that medical facility to handle the fatal disease of AIDS and even if you have the treatment, it will come at a very heavy price which you may or may not afford it or find it worth your while. Sometimes, it is not only a matter of money or available medical treatment but the physical and physiological discomforts, social stigma and drug-dependent that has become of you and will have to go through your life in this unhealthy way. I have seen how some of these people suffer. Those expensive medicines are a matter of life and death which they cannot do without. Some drained the family resources so much that they had preferred to die rather than continue to suffer or burden their family.

I don¡¯t think the college girl is unaware of AIDS or any of the sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). I will be surprised and I will sad if the college girl who engaged in sex with her ex-boyfriend did not know about AIDS or STDs.

Indeed, ¡°knowing¡± the disease is one thing but actually ¡°understanding¡± their impacts on your life and the meaning of your life, if any, is quite another. When it happens to you, it will be too late. So, acquire full knowledge and consider if it is worth it before you do anything rash and stupid. You are responsible for yourself, nobody is.

Yes, it¡¯s her ex-boyfriend and boyfriend no more of college girl. She is alone now and going through her suffering alone. These foreigners are impermanent. They drift from one country to another. As a naturally sexual animal, don¡¯t be surprised that they will seek sex with women wherever they go and abandon them at their convenience. If you come from a country which is understanding, that¡¯s fine. If not, then you suffer. Those guys don¡¯t care. They say ¡°we are adults¡±, it¡¯s ¡°consensual¡±. Be smart.

I am an advocate of sex but only sex in adulthood and sex in a responsible way; in a marriage and between committed partners, honest and faithful to one another.

Yes, sex education should be taught in stages when the teens are ready and able to relate his/her inner changes to his/her reality.

So what if boys experienced erection from birth? Does it mean he knows sex and desires it from birth? Does a baby boy sucking his mother¡¯s nipples mean he is satisfying his sexual desire and not his hunger? If going by Freakyqi¡¯s (flawed) sexual knowledge it would mean that boys should be separated from girls from young.

Have you heard that physiological development does not equate mental maturity? That is my advocate for sex only in adulthood and not teens.

Hold it, stay away and don¡¯t rush until you are ready, not only mentally but financially. You have a lifetime to make love, don¡¯t fret.

Answer 5

The best time for sex education is when you are mature enough and have better knowledge of these things. Rather that doing it at a raw age and later regret later.
