I don't agree with these programmes. Talking about sex should be natural, not forced onto children if they don't yet want to know about it. I used to go along with my children's questions, answer those and stop if they didn't ask another question. Stood us in good stead over the years. They were well informed without being gratuitous.

Who's forcing them? :s As far as I know, participation or viewing is not compulsory
This particular programme isn't forced on anybody, but sex education in school is and it's starting too early and is too explicit when children only have the capacity to take in a certain amount and are more inclined to ask because they heard something and want it explained rather than want to practice it.

When I was young we couldn't get enough of knowledge about sex.  And most of that knowledge was got from jazz mags in the beginning.  Hardly ideal.

I like these programs. I don't think we are open enough about sex. When I was at school we got section 6 in science at about 13 the basics of reproduction. then in 5th year age 16/17 we got the emotional side and were taught about sex love and VD and aids (a bit)  and of course babies.

The problem was you could leave in 4th year and very few of the girls who stayed on fell pregnant. class or no class. Sex education should be taught at school kids are sexual even if there parents don't like it. It helps if they can discuss there feeling with people who have been trained to help them. Especially if there parents don't want to know.

My point isn`t about condemning sex education - its the fact that they`re making the assumption that all kids should be masturbating at 14 as if there is a norm and that`s it
The boy asks that question. Did they give a set answer??

I would imagine it would be something along the lines of. as much or as little as you want that doesn't interfere (hehehee) with you life. what ever you do is normal.

laughing at this thread as my sister's teenage son is off on his first holiday away alone with his mates.  She went to give him some condoms and he had boxes of the buggers already

But just to be on the safe side she put me on the phone to him to descibe in great detail the horrors of cock rot, boils and willy warts to him

I think he should be safe now

I think they are all standard questions, there are no questions that are wrong to ask.
God the ones i wanted to know


I do think  they left it late and were badly advised years ago, but as having young ones myself, the jury is out as to whether i would want them knowing before the age of 6 or 7 as suggested. I would prefer to tell them but i do realise that not all parents will or can do this.
