Sex Education? Are We Ready?

I find it amusing that the Government is trying to help parents take the first step and be comfortable teaching their children about sex. We presume that parents will automatically take it all in stride, and succeed.

What happens when we see an intimate scene in the cinema, or on TV? Do we blush? Do our heart beat a little faster? Do we hope nobody is noticing we are feeling uncomfortable? We cannot even handle an intimate scene, let alone talk and discuss about it.

As a society, we are still very conservative in thoughts, We prohibits sexual magazines, movies, and we cringe when couples kiss on the streets. We goes hush hush about sex topics, and we hope parents to do miracle? While the children today has matured so much faster compared to our generations and those before us, our thoughts have not matured. Their learning has moved by leaps and bounds, pick up a primary school text book and you will realize how much you do not know. The internet has also help them to learn things we could not have found out when we were kids.

Society has changed, but why are we trying to slow it down and suppressed it? It's time to let go, and its time that we take another giant stride to grow up.
