SEX EDUCATION | THE INDIAN ERA

SEX EDUCATION.

Quality sex education includes information about sex, sexuality, relationships, contraception and condoms, and how to protect yourself and plan your future. Sex education programs need to be informed by evidence as well as include all the information and skills young people need to make healthy decisions. 

Providing young people with the skills and tools to make healthy decisions about sex and relationships is far more effective than denying them information and simply telling them not to have sex.

Human interest in sex can be thought of as a built-in imperative: Survival of the species depends on it. And although sexual desire tends to wax and wane over the course of one's life, depending on external demands and relationship satisfaction, it often serves as a passport to bonding, intimacy, pleasure, and even human growth and healing.

How do people have sex?

Sex isn’t one size fits all. What feels good to you might not be right for someone else. Everyone’s different when it comes to sexual behaviors and desires, but here are some common kinds of sexual activity.

• masturbating alone or with a partner 

• oral, vaginal, and anal sex

• kissing

• rubbing your bodies together

• using sex toys

• phone sex or “sexting”

• reading or watching porn

People get turned on by different things, so communicating about what you like or don’t like lets your partner know what’s OK and what’s off limits.
