Hi Parents! What do you think of Sex Education at a young tender age (primary school) ? For myself, I feel that "Curiosity Kills the Cat". My parents were never very intimate in our presence. There were lovingly sweet. But they explain to us that only husband and wife are allowed to hug and kiss each other intimately. When we watch TV together, we were told to close our eyes whenever there are intimate (kissing) scenes or they would change the channel for awhile. But back then, I don't remember much shows which have intimacy. Only after 11pm. Now, it is different though. There are so much shows that teach about romance, BGR and intimacy, even cartoons.. As for me, I never knew about sexual desires till we had sex education at primary 5 & indeed I started becoming curious & exploring. & I just keep wishing that Sex Education is not too detailed especially the levels of intimacy because that is where kids get ideas to do it and challenge each other.

In this day and age where information is readily available everywhere, I think it's best for a child to get properly educated about the birds and the bees at a young age. And it should be done in school, in an educational, factual and informative manner. When I was younger, sex and pretty much anything relating to the reproductive parts were a taboo. When I got my period, I would get superstitions instead of an actual explaination of what happened. I, for one, do not want my child to grow up in that environment. Sex is a biological phenomenon and the more we treat it as taboo, the more uninformed kids will get and this might just lead to bad decisions and even worst consequences.
