WHAT SHOULD SEX EDUCATION PROVIDE FOR CHILDREN OF BOTH SEXES?

It should detail the physical, mental, and emotional changes which occur during puberty to girls and boys. This information must include descriptive knowledge of genital anatomy and its variations, and discussions to reduce anxiety about menstruation, masturbation, petting, wet dreams, and sexual arousal.

It should explain about conception, pregnancy, childbirth, and parenthood. It should also stress the obligations and responsibilities of the couple to each other and to their child.

It should provide accurate information about contraception and birth control. This should be provided initially before the child reaches puberty and should be reinforced and expanded during later school years, when many students are exploring their sexuality and experimenting.

It should provide clear information about sexually transmitted diseases.

It should encourage students to accept people whose sexual practices are discordant with their own.
