Sexual Education of Children
Here we consider questions related with the sexual education of the
children. We have in mind all possibilities and ways children have to
learn something about sex - as wanted, as unwanted by parents and
authorities:
Ethnographical research shows that
the sexual education is very different in different
cultures. There are also
results about the role of
sex education for animals.
Sex Education in School
May be de-facto ignored.
Sex Information by Parents
May be de-facto ignored.
Sex Education Literature
May be de-facto ignored.
Sex Information by Peers
Much more important.
Using Pornography
Pornography is
widely used by
children and teenagers to get information about sex.
The main problem is that the child has usually no experienced
person with whom he can discuss these matters, another the poor
quality of usual pornography.
The observation of sexual
acts is a widely distributed possibility to get information about
sex. Especially parents are often observed - with or without (through
the keyhole) their permission.
IMO, it is more dangerous if the child is seeing the sexual act
without permission and knowledge of the parents and without having the
necessary information what happens. It may misinterprete the
intercourse as an act of violence and has no possibility to ask.
Almost all boys and the majority of girls
masturbate. This allows
children to get some experience with the own body.
