Why on earth dont we copy the Germans and Dutch in terms of sex ed and tell the parents to go jump if they have issues with it on the logic it works and that parents who think their teenage sons and daughters are children need lessons in human biology and development

Britain, when faced with problems that it does not like, sticks its head in the sand and tries to pretend that everyone goes to Eton and lives in leafy suburbia, where nobody has sex, erections are scaffolding outside buildings and periods are punctuation marks.

In Germany and the Netherlands, the authorities have accepted the fact that young people will have sex and have tackled it accordingly. In Britain, sex under 18 is not a fact, it is a problem.

At the risk of being branded a paedophile (I am British and live in Britain), once secondary sexual characteristics have developed in a person (to wit, descended testicles, a broken voice, the ability to ejaculate in the male; pubic hair in both sexes; and breasts and menstruation in the female), such persons are sexually nubile and will naturally take interest in the subject.

An article on the BBC news web-site today referred to 'sexual abuse' by under-age people. Essentially, Britain regards "i'll show you mine if you show me yours" as "inappropriate behaviour" in children and young people, and prevents one from owning one's own body until the age of 16 is attained.

This is not a new phenomenon. I am fifty, and I reckon that 75% of my class, at a GRAMMAR school, were indulging in 'inappropriate behaviour" when we were in the third form - 13-14 years old. But, in the good old UK, we had to keep it hidden (sexual conduct, that is, not our bits!)
