So... guys and gals, this is an extremely important subject for a number of different reasons (that I can point out if we need to). But SEX EDUCATION, you know. It is a very important matter in today's society and especially with youth.
We could blame our parents to our lack of knowledge surrounding sex. As in, we are not only ignorant in regards to our reproductive systems in general, but also that we do not appreciate sex as something pleasurable, meaningful and that we can learn a lot from.
So, just wanting to throw some ideas up in the air, what do you think about the subject in general?
1. How should children and teenagers be educated in regards to sex?
2. Is knowledge about sex important in your part of the world?
3. Share your experiences (as in: I blame my parents for not letting me know, or you have been fortunate and they have been very liberal with you in regards to this).
Feel free to express yourselves ;D

1. school via sex ed could play an important role and talk about sex, aids and other sexually transimitted diaseases, about wearing a condom and so on. 2. specify  3. My parents (thankfully) are very liberal and don't have any problem.. I mean they don't get anxious or stressed or shocked  Vic Looook UP  |

Well #2 was more related to "sex" as a cultural phenomenon. The way people perceive it differs from region to region. For instance, here there is still no such thing as a "sex ed" class, even in the top Peruvian schools. Parents prefer not to talk about the subject in the main cities, and it's even more of a taboo in rural areas! I guess it is partly due to the country's strong Catholic background and the so-called morals embedded. For me, at least, I think many children (specially girls) remain ignorant on the subject, and it shouldn't be this way. 3. My mother is extreeemely liberal as well! I can talk about anything sex-related with her! |

I think sex education is very important for children. It should be tactfully done and not in away as to scandalise the child.

Kwa, could you elaborate on the way sex education is meant to be taught "tactfully"?
The best thing would be that parents talked with their children about sex in general since they are little. But for now, we can only expect schools to implement some kind of system that teaches students about the psychological, physical and interpersonal matters regarding sex. And hopefully a GOOD system!

1. Well as everyone has been saying, I think that sex education should start in subtle ways at a very young age. Talking about the functions of the body and how to take care of it is important. Before reaching adolescence, I think basic sex ed should be taught. In the years after, birth control/condom and teaching responsibility (and respect for one's body) should be taught. 2. Well if you've guessed, sex plays a big role in the American (and probably most Western countries) society. What teens (and even kids) see in the media portrays sex as an essential experience..but without mentioning birth control and the possibility of pregancy or STDs. 3. Well I had sex education class in the first year of high school. I remember that we were supposed to have a lesson on it during middle school, but that wasn't taught. My parents were open about talking about it, especially my father. I post another question What is the best way to teach about sex: Abstinence, birth control or comprehensive (both)? This is big debate in the United States and I am interested in what people's opinions are in other countries  |

1) children should be taught about sex from a certain age- let's say 10 years old- so that they can become familiar to it and no afraid of it... 2) still a tabbo I think... 3) Fortunately my parents were willing to talk me about sex BUT they would be socked to know that I already know some stuff... |
