I feel like I can argue for early sex education because I received it myself. When I was in third grade, we watched a video that demonstrated how to put a condom on (albeit over a couple of fingers). Additionally, my mom was willing to explain things to me at a young age that most parents avoid, and while she initiated some of it, most was attributable to the fact that when I asked a question, she didn't give me a sugar-coated "kiddie" answer. For example, I remember asking her to explain what the word "rape" meant after I started hearing it on the news. Some people have told me they would never talk with an 8-year-old about rape, but in hindsight, I think that talking about these things openly was a significant part of my upbringing. Meanwhile, a large segment of our society believes in sheltering rather than educating. I couldn't disagree more.
So as far as sex education in schools goes, I think the more the earlier the better. While I also believe that the bulk of the responsibility lies with the parents, it seems that leaving it solely up to them isn't working very well. Parents who choose to avoid the subject altogether (or skim over the details) often seem to be doing so out of a fear that merely exposing their child to a word will lead to the child acting out that behavior. But trying to shield kids from sex is like trying to put a fire out with gasoline.
If they don't see it on TV or the computer, they'll be hearing about it from their friends. And if somehow they manage to avoid encountering it in all of these places, let's not forget the most powerful source of curiosity about sex: human physiology. Whether you believe this physiology to be the result of evolution or creation, it's existence is not disputable, and attempting to suppress it has a predictably poor success rate. Kids who are informed by facts rather than gossip ought to be, if anything, less likely to make poor decisions later on. It seems that, even with my apparently unusual upbringing, there is a lot I wish I had known earlier. The severity of the consequences seems to me to justify an increased effort on the part of our educational system to educate children about sex.

Posted by: ITDRO1 at January 28, 2007 1:06 AMFor those of you who might think that these inquires are within the "realm or realism" then you truly are a wholesale products distributor. Trying to ride popular retail products brings out greed in all of us. Pursuing the deal of the century has lead some business owners to risk their capital on unrealistic expectations. In this article I want to discuss three of the more sought after sources of supply. I will also clear up some of the misconceptions that seem to surround the wholesale products industry.
Posted by: wholesale products at April 22, 2007 11:19 PMSome companies are import wholesalers of quit smoking products. While they do not manufacture a product, they will import products from other manufacturers.
Posted by: quit smoking at April 22, 2007 11:21 PMAn important resource for chemistry and the periodic table.
Posted by: periodic table at April 22, 2007 11:24 PMA wholesaler is usually one step away from the original source of the product. For instance, a manufacturer produces and owns allergy relief products. They will then employ either a sales representatives to get the product into the market, or they will assign a wholesale distributor the rights to sell their allergy relief or like product.
Posted by: allergy relief at April 22, 2007 11:30 PMInteresting read nevertheless. Chemistry and the periodic table are a significant resource.

I know this post is pretty old but I got a real laugh thinking back to my condom over the finger movie I watched and now I have a 11 year old son. My wife and I run a very honest household and believe if they are old enough to ask, then they are old enough to know the truth. That has been our policy for most everything. Thanks for the laugh!!

Posted by: John Shack at January 16, 2008 2:10 PMblog.rv.net is a great place to talk about camping! I share all my camping adventures and travel tips there. Any chance I get to go hiking, camping, boating, or just being on the open road I gladly take it. Wyoming has great campgrounds also. The last time I was there with my family we were able to find a perfect campground near a lake. It was a while back so I don't remember the exact location.

Keep an eye out for this release. Also, please feel free to spread the word by posting this on the web. Be on the lookout for a more detailed website: http://www.ephena.com
Posted by: Ephena at February 20, 2008 9:41 PMYou know what? I agree with you. For me the education came late. My friends would talk about sex and i would think sex was for the immoral. You can imagine this was when i was when i was 9 years. today though i think it would be harder for children not to find out because of the internet where all you have to do is go to google and websites are all over with information.
Posted by: web hosting reviews at February 21, 2008 5:15 AMYes i agree with you.I know everything about sex from my older colegues. So by the age of 6,7 i though that i know everything about it and i was ashamed to ask my parents not to make them ashamed :)
I have nice camping website if someone is interested.

Natural family planning is a method used to help a couple determine when sexual intercourse can and cannot result in pregnancy .I personally believe that “Condoms� provide the best solution for “Family Planning� . They can enhance our sexual pleasure by adding variety in to our sex-play.Kindly check the huge range of quality condoms at(DiscountCondomKing.com)

Posted by: Web Hosting at April 20, 2009 9:21 PMIt is very sensible issue in third world country like India. I have know something about India( SARRC countries) and its culture. Most of the people are against sex education in school.
Posted by: Pamela Scoot at April 27, 2009 6:52 AMIn developing and under developing countries sex education is not acceptable in mass people. Survey among the people in these countries reveals that adults conceal the subject form the children and never discuss what actually sex is.
Posted by: Arnold at April 27, 2009 7:00 AMI appreciate sex education in early stage of life. Unless curiosity about it often misguides children and children do something which is not desirable from them. I think i can make you understand.
Posted by: John Abraham at April 27, 2009 7:04 AMInteresting article. Well, i would say, Arnild is right and it's the responsibility of the parents who must tell their children about the reality of life from time to time.

Posted by: Zero Percent Credit Cards at September 28, 2009 11:29 AMGreat post and one I wish all parents would read.
Posted by: Charter Jet Service at September 28, 2009 1:27 PMI agree with you wholeheartedly. I really enjoyed reading your article. It was eloquently written and my sentiments exactly. And here's why: I was a teen mom, so I decided that I would always tell my children the truth. It didn't matter where we were or what we were doing, a question deserved an honest answer. We didn't have to have the "talk" because we were always talking. They are in their twenties now.
