Sex education – time to educate

Global Women Connected SexWe need sex education more than ever now as our children can get easy access to porn.  If they have access online, they are a click away from explicit images and videos.  They can easily begin to think that porn is ‘normal’ sex.  But porn often shows violence against women, lack of consent, verbal abuse, and women with unrealistic body images.

Last year there was been a programme on UK TV called sex in class where a Belgium Sexologist, Goedele Liekens, spent time in a UK school to talk about sex. It was disturbing how the boys had a very warped view of sex as almost all admitted to watching pornography.  They did not understand boundaries and consent.  They felt that once a woman had agreed to sex, the woman had consented to any sexual act.  They thought it was normal to ejaculate on the woman’s face and have anal sex.

Who should educate children about sex?  In most countries, sex education will be taught to some extent in schools.  But if parents want to ensure an open dialogue with their children, they have to be involved in sex education.  To help arm parents with the basics, Global Women Connected have written a parents guide to sex education.
