Sri Lanka: Let's talk about Sex

ravana.wordpress.com on why no one talks of sex in Sri Lanka. “We never get taught sex education in school. Even though there was a chapter on the sexual reproduction system in my GCE ordinary Level Science textbook in school, this topic was successfully ignored by the teacher. I just thought he was skipping it because he feared the dynamite laden questions the horny and curious 15 year-olds in his class had for him.”

    i think we are going right way. it is cotrolled by our culture. in uk the abortion level of under 14 yrs old girls has risen by 27% in this year. there is very good sex education in the uk, but things are getting bad to worse.

    so culture is the best answer

    I agree with Deepthi,
    some people thinks having no sex education is old fation.
    but it’s not as deepthi said it has controled by our culture most of the time it is a good thing.

    but!
    in sri lanka now we have sex education. this is where i Agree with Prasad. if the teacher is a lady you’ll get no word about sex,

    anyway with or without sex education we still can control it (not sex but teen pregnacy) by using the culture and the community,

  • I think this is suitable subject for an open forum

    Its 2014 and kids must be taught what is sexual abuse and how to protect your self from sex predators. Plus sexual education is not enough to stop pregnancies and abortion. Parents must be educated in order to love girls without discriminating. Even boys must be taken care of by some parents. If there is lack of love and respect in a family, it is more than likely for kids to seek trust and love out side the family. Hence, fall in to false relationships and end up being pregnant! Its not the fault of girls if they get pregnant. The blame must be carried out by the boy as well. Boys get raped by men and no one even talk about this isuue.
