Sex education

This is how life works: some are born boys, others girls. They mature, reach sexual maturity and can reproduce their own kind. Nature, seeking to ensure the growth of the population, arranged so that men and women are drawn to each other.

Possible health consequences

So sex drive is natural. However, everyone should understand the possible consequences of seconds of happiness!

Unprotected sex can lead, for example, to an unplanned and unwanted pregnancy, which will negatively affect a woman’s state of mind. Its artificial interruption can lead to physical ailments and psychological problems. If we talk about early pregnancy, then endure, give birth, and then take care and educate, too, most often beyond the strength of the child’s body. The result of all this is the spoiled life of the mother and child, physical ailments, reproaches and strife.

Remember that everyone has only one life. No need to spoil it for yourself and others.

In addition, with unprotected intercourse with unknown partners, various infectious diseases are possible. Some of them are successfully cured, but it is possible to attach banal pathogens and form chronic inflammatory processes that can lead to infertility. Others, such as HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis C, lead to a lifelong pathological condition of varying severity.

Basics of sex education

We all understand that sex is wonderful. But in order not to suffer after a moment of passion, it is necessary from childhood to know about sexual difference, interaction and the possible consequences of sexual intercourse.

It is very important to educate children, adolescents, young people in matters of sexual culture. To give knowledge on the anatomical structure of the genital organs, talking about their function. Communicate the facts about pregnancy, develop an understanding of responsibility for the future life. It is necessary to fully convey to young people the correct information about the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases and the prevention of unwanted pregnancies.

World experience

All over the world, and especially in developed countries, the basics of sexual relations are taught to children in classes that are sometimes held separately for boys and girls. Children will learn how to protect themselves from dangerous diseases such as HIV infection and syphilis. Visual aids are used in the classroom. For example, there is a demonstration on how to choose and wear a condom, the main means of protection against sexually transmitted diseases. Much attention is paid to the degree of responsibility of the parties when entering into sexual relations.

Problems faced by educators in Russia

Since 2014, when the Convention on the Rights of the Child was approved, which addressed the issue of sexual education in schools, it was planned to conduct thematic lessons on sexual relations. However, the 2012 law “On the protection of children from information harmful to their health and development” prohibits description of sexual activities to children under 16 years of age.

So it turns out that, on the one hand, teachers and parents should conduct education on issues of sexual education, and on the other hand, it is impossible to talk about it.

Of course, there are more than enough various training programs and books that enlighten on this issue. But will teenagers want to read these monographs on their own. Whether parents of young children are willing to learn the basics of sexuality together.

Consequences of not having adequate sex education

So it turns out that everything is left to chance: children are slowly browsing pornographic sites and magazines from their parents, receiving incorrect information on the issue of interest. Thus, they develop a misunderstanding about what sex is and what its consequences can be.

According to statistics, about 60% of adolescents begin sexual activity at the age of 12-14 years. Most of these young people do not have the information and skills to ensure safe sex. As a result – early pregnancies, diseases with dangerous infections, psychological trauma.

Conclusion

We all strive to be healthy physically and mentally. To do this, you need to understand the processes in your own body and learn to live in harmony with yourself and the world around you.

Love, sex, the birth and upbringing of children play an important role in our lives. They must be considered in the classroom, like chemical formulas and spelling of the Russian language. From an early age, discuss with children emerging issues about gender differences and sex, not considering them something funny or shameful. The tabooing of these topics leads to the appearance of physical illnesses and mental disorders.

Let’s leave ignorance and prejudice behind and move forward. Much depends on us!
