In some communities, we can find that people are very at ease when talking about sex. They are open to the subject and know how to deal with it in society. Some people don't even know how to tell their child how they have been concecived, is that a normal thing nowadays? How come there are people who still think this way?

According to norms and societies, beliefs vary from place to place and even time to time. however, in this new millenium, where the society is evolving, there still exists some people who have dogmas and consider sex to still be a tabboo.children must be to some extent aware about sexual relationships to prevent AIDS, teenage pregnancies and child abuses. the society is sick, and children should be made aware of things which were earlier considered to be taboos.

Are there restrictions in sexual education? Do you mean there are things that we should not say to children? So for you there are some taboos am i right? What for example in sex should not be discussed with them?

Well you just said it: in SOME societies people are at ease when talking about sex to their children.. You must realise that most of the world communities or countries pqarents are not so at ease.. we can see this in countries which are very religious and well where talking about sex is still taboo! No mention is made of it until the girl/guy marries. Also there's the barrier of generation. Many people believe that talking about sex is a sign of disrespect towards their children and vice versa.

I think parents should be educated themselves to know how to explain this subject to their own children. I think as well that parents should adopt quite a friendly attitude towards their children so that the conversation could flow easily.

That's what he was asking actually ... Who thinks that sex is a sign of disrespect for example? Can you elaborate please?

I am an example of it, i come from a religious family with my saintly mother, she has never love or ever cared for me, the only thing she taught me in life is religion and nothing else!
And talking about sex and other related to it!!!
Forget about it, and i believe it's not a normal thing, they should grow up and open their mind a little bit.

Sex education should start at home, regardless of what community or faith. Education is the learning of something so it should be recommended in community. Young children are curious about sex, and they're apt to ask blunt questions. Answer them honestly. They'll let you know when they've heard enough. Community, religious faith should be a barrier to sex education. Gradually there should be no taboo.

Sex should start at home but for a lot of persons, it can't because they are either introvert, narrow minded or simply shy? How can it be solved gradually Juliana, if the root is shyness?

People think they are protecting children when they don;t talk about sex. They feel like if they don't tell children about sex, they won't try to do it. They forgot that kids frequently meet other children who may be very aware of sexual matters
