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.

Personally, I feel that a large part is also dependent on how comfortable you are, as a parent, with regard to the topic. If you are uncomfortable discussing the topic in details openly with your children, it may end up sending a wrong message. It is natural that children will become curious as they go through puberty. And I feel that it is important that parents are the ones giving them information on how to protect themselves, and respect others. So it will be good to still have a discussion on it when a child reaches the appropriate age. If one is uncomfortable with going into any details, the important massage would be how to respect themselves, respect others, and learn to be discerning. Just my two cents.
