why the father is the best teacher to teach sex education if the child is boy and the mother if it is girl?

Question

i have to defend the answer...

Answer 1

In a perfect world, the father being a male specimen would be
best one to teach the male child because he evolved from a boy
into a man.He has 1st hand information that the boy will need to
grow into a man.The father could inform the son how certain
male anatomy works.i.e what's normal or not.
The mother advising the daughter the same way.
It's sort of --------" I've been there / done that" so I can help you.
But I believe it isn't necessary for a parent to be the same sex
as the child in order to advise/teach , or relate with the child.
If a person has proper data/info he/she can teach either.

Answer 2

I an a mother, nurse, and high school cheering coach and my children are two girls 17 and 15 a senior and sophomore and two boys 14 vand 11... I absolutely agree with you....teenagers now a days view sex like a past time to do when there is nothing good on tv..... or a way to get love and attention and keep a boy.... they do not realize that once they have sex 75% of boys will dump the girl within the next two weeks and move on....then they are faced will seeing him in the halls the following week with a new girlfriend kissing her and saying the same things to her and they end up hurt and crushed... so to feel better they find another guy who tells then how wonderful they are and the cycle starts.... they get to a point where they associate love with being in bed.....and it becomes the thing to do... I think a lot of this happens because unfortunately we live in tthe days where both parents work and many kids after the age of 12 are kids who come home after school to an empty house and peer pressure is so extreme..... as a mother what I have always done was taught my children that their life choices will affect the for life... that their main focus as a teenager should be friends, school, sports, school activities and their short term goal should be going to college and getting a degree in something they love to do and that it is total their choice as it is their future....the girls were taught that your virginity is something you can only give once and does a random boy at school deserve a gift that special or would it be better to give it to the man you marry.....the boys are being taught that they need to respect women and save sex for marriage as well they were taught about safe sex the consequences of having premartial sex like pregnancy disease etc... All you can do as a parent is hope you taught them what they needed and listened.. but you can not rely on the school system to teach it for you that is the first mistake parents made kids have real questions about relationships and sex and parents should answer them. not rely on school to. unfortunately the first time many parents talk to their kids about sex is when they are pregnant or got someone pregnant.... and that is obviously too late. I have to be proud that I have two of the most amazing daughters the oldest will be going to Northeastern pre med in the fall... the 15 year old while she is my social butterfly cheerleader she is a great girl who has respect for herself and her body and common sense and will eventually go on to college and be the amazing young women I know she is as well.....they often come home from school complaining about someone making out in the hall at school and how it is not the time or the place. as a parent you have to teach them moral self respect and reassure them they are loved and helpp grow their self esteem or they will become the needy teens you see looking for love and attention through sex

Answer 3

Sorry, I don't agree with the premise. Each can teach, and do by their actions probably more than with words. Each parent needs to be involved to give the child an adequate picture of man-woman/marriage relationships.

Answer 4

its because they are of the same sex...
what you have is just the same scientifically like any woman....
its more comfortable for you to talk about sex education if you and your instructor are of the same sex...and how can you know what are you talking about if you dont even experience or felt it??
=)

Answer 5

Because in all honesty there is more to the education then "Insert tab 'A' into slot 'B'.

To understand sex education, one must understand the human body, and as we all know, males and females are very different. They both have specific feelings and traits that are unique to their gender.

My father always told me experience was the best teacher, so you want someone who understands from experience what a young person is going through. Mom may understand the basics of the male reproductive organs, but she has never experienced the things your father has as he was growing up.

Another reason is the comfort level. Moms find is easier to answer questions for girls while men may feel uncomfortable. The same goes for boys talking to their fathers. I personally feel that I could ask my dad anything relating to sex education, while there is very little I would ask my mom...so as far as getting the understanding, I would be getting the better education with the parent I feel more comfortable with.

And in reality, parents SHOULD take an active role in teaching their kids about sex education. It is a part of life, that almost everyone will participate in at some time or another. You teach your children to walk, talk, and survive in society, yet everyone seems to shy away from sex ed. To be educated on such issues will improve safety of our kids should they get involved in such things, and help protect them from dieases and pregnacy (both males and females.)

Answer 6

It's not that this would be the "best" way, necessarilly, it's just that this is the way that is likely most comfortable for both parties.

Answer 7

You are a girl, so tell me, would you really want your dad to talk to you about sex? I know I wouldn't want to talk about sex with my mom.

Answer 8

Well, it should be a joint answer in both cases, but I think it's to avoid embarrassment.

Answer 9

ask ur parents :-)
