Video credits to The Doctors: At What Age Should You Talk to Kids about Sex Education?
Since malice among youths starts at a young age, teaching about sex education is a necessity – to avoid the young ones indulging in premarital sex at an early age. Teenagers' lives are crucial because this is the time when they are attracted to the opposite sexes. Here sex education is a good move for children and teenagers to let them fully understand the meaning of their being.
Young ones need to be educated early about sex to become aware and to become more responsible in dealing with this matter. Teaching about sex education should start at home but parents should refrain from using the word sex to avoid any malicious meanings that the word may transport to young minds. They can use synonyms for it such as male and female gender, femininity, manhood, manliness, masculinity, sexuality, womanhood, womanliness, and many more.
Some people said that sex is the ultimate expression of love and no amount of education could change a person’s sexual behavior, particularly that of the sexually active youth. As a father, Paul objected to it. Paul is not here to tell the world that what he is sharing with everyone should be accepted. He knows, of course, everyone has his own right for his views and opinions and they should be respected.
In Paul's journal - he has recorded an event. Paul was a first-year high school stud at that time. One of his female classmates who was also his age had become the apple of everyone’s eyes. She was beautiful with black long hair down her back. She smiled beautifully with a dimple on her cheeks. One of Paul's male classmates was attracted to her. He courted her and showed his love for the girl. And in a short of time, they became young lovers. Now the problem started. Three months before finishing the school year – the young girl got pregnant. These young lovers became the hot subject in their school that caused them to be expelled out. Now Paul asks: Who will suck the problem?
For Paul, sex education is a healthy move. If parents become too hesitant to talk openly to their children about sex and just let their children learn about it by themselves – there will be more unwed mothers who are only in their teens. And maybe more abortions could be expected. Having sexual urges at this young age with their shallow knowledge of the cause and effects of replicating acts they saw on adult DVDs, could result in unwanted babies and sometimes deadly diseases. In this world of high technology, nothing can be hidden from children and teenagers.
Paul considers High School as the most interesting phase of school life. At this stage, new things and experiences are to be explored and to be enjoyed by young students. Also on this stage is the hot point for them to start to attract the opposite sexes. Paul still remembers his favorite subject biology that includes the parts and functions of the human body. He learned from that subject that red blood cell is formed of molecules. Paul also studied the five sense organs. He considered them as the most interesting part of the biology subject. He has learned about the power of eyes for sight or vision which many poets described as the gates for the souls but Paul described them as the gates for the sins. The eyes are the first to see and perceive things before sending them into the mind or brain.
Paul also learned about the power of ears for hearing or audition. He learned that ears are responsible to detect the vibrations of any sound through an avenue such as air. Inside the ear is a section responsible to ascertain the mechanical motion and other vibrations before sending them to the brain. He also learned about the power of the tongue for taste and the power of the mouth to bite, to eat, to drink, and to speak. He learned that it is the responsibility of the tongue to identify and to differentiate sweet from salty, sour from bitter taste.
He also learned about the power of the nose for smell. He learned that it is the responsibility of the nose to detect the different types of odors from sweat, pungent odor from stagnant water, odor from our armpits, odor from decaying animals. The nose can also identify sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. He also learned about the sense of touch. He learned that hands and fingers are not only responsible for this sense. Tongue, mouth, skin, nails, and hair can also be used for touch. Paul insisted that these five sense organs are our physiological capacities that provide inputs for perception and they are useful for our sex life and education.
Paul believes that the best teachers ever produced in the world to teach the offspring are the parents either they are biological parents or adoptive parents. The parents should be the first to draw the actions to teach the children about life and their sexuality and it will start at home. But parents find it hard to explain sex to their children when they begin asking questions.
Most of the time parents often let their children learn about it by themselves. If the parents detest doing their part in their children's exploration for such a delicate matter their friends might feed the meaningless with complication and possible undesired conclusions. Sex here is not only about sexual acts. It regards also all the aspects of life and its existence as a human being. Sometimes parents forgot that they are the first people in the world to cherish their children that moment they arrived in their lives.

According to Paul when their first child arrived, he was also inside the delivery room when his beloved wife had labored for their first baby girl. He saw where the child came out. He heard her first cry and he was the first to kiss her with a pool of blood before her mother. Paul was the one who brought her to the lavatory where she had got her first bath. He saw how the nurse cut off her umbilical cord. And when the child made her first junk, Paul was the first to clean it.
To sum up it all, Paul said that it is the parents who really know better about their children than any other people in the world. It is the parents who know better what their children want, likes and dislikes. There are many ways to tell and to teach children if parents really are willing to teach them. They should not wait for children to come home with bold magazines, CDs, and DVDs from their peers and open them and tell them that this is the way we have created Dad, Mom!
