Sex Education: Is it important?

Sex is just like eating and drink, that is just  to fulfil our biological  needs. Well, when we were small kinds, our mothers kept  telling what to do and what not to do with respect to eating and drinking according to socially acceptable norms of universal table manners. What about sex? Normally....
our parents will not tell us anything about sex even though it has been claimed that talking about sex is not taboo any more. Then, how do we learn sex? It is therefore wrong to totally blame our children for doing their own ways about sex. Premarital pregnancy, sexually-transmitted diseases, free sex, unsafe sex and many more by-ways of sex are probably the indirect impacts of lack of knowledge about sex itself. From this point, we realize that sex education is very important.

Of course, when we talk about sex education, it is not merely to teach love-love making techniques (though they belong to a small part of sex education).

A comprehensive sex education covers a lot of things which mainly focus on how to appreciate sex as something sacred; it is the smallest part of heaven flavors. If we adopt the socially and religiously acceptable norms of sexual behaviors, then forget premarital (unwanted) pregnancy AIDS,  and other sexually-transmitted diseases.

Below are links to several books on sex education that you may want to check out.

Please be considerate of our children. They were born to the world for us to take care of, and  to love. Teach them something or they will find out their ways, which turn out to be wrong.
