Sexual Education

[Omeros]

Every year pass by, in the Lebanese society, young people face lots of sexual problems. Our society faces these problems, especially with young people due to the lack of sexual education in our society.

Sexual education is of the same importance as the school education that we get, and it can affect our lives in many different ways. Many teenagers, who don’t get the right sexual education, would make mistakes that will haunt them throughout their whole lives. For example, imagine a 16 year-old teenager who went to a place and had sex with one of the workers there and he didn’t use condom to have more pleasure and that woman didn’t know that she had aids. What would happen to that young teenager? Moreover, sexual education could prepare teenagers how to behave in facing problems of sexual harassment and rape. Imagine a young girl at school being sexually harassed by her teacher; she would be totally lost because she won’t know how to act. Sexual education would give the young girls ideas about how to act in such cases. What I mentioned above shows the importance of sexual education. But how are we able to achieve the right sexual education in the Lebanese society?

Achieving the right sexual education in a society like in Lebanon is not an easy job. But we can start achieving it part by part. Assemblies can be made at schools for people who are 15 years old and above by people who have wide experience in that field such as doctors, psychologist, or even victims. These speeches would help a lot those teenagers. In addition to that, schools can help in achieving better sexual education by giving the students some researches about sex. By this way, the students will learn more about sexual relationships. That’s how the schools can play an important role in achieving the right sexual education.

In addition to what I mentioned above, the society can play an important role in helping our teenagers achieve a better sexual education. Video producers can produce special sexual education videos. These videos would be found at every video store around the country, and would be given to teenagers, who are under the legal age, whenever they ask for porn videos. Thus in that way these videos would reach a very big number of Lebanese teenagers and help them.

At the end, sexual education is like any other kind of education, and we all should join hands together to let our teenagers achieve it before it would be too late for some of them.

Sex education in the Lebanese school curriculum is a joke. In most places this issue is tailored by the school itself. I have seen various schools and how they address this issue. Some do have formal programs, with videos and role play even, others have no such thing, and instead kids ask their questions about sex to the sports teacher or biology teacher. Most such questions happen outside of class hours, and many teachers deal with this in a too superficial and misguided way, partly because they also fear one student complaining about them then it's off with their job.

Heck, Lebanese society is very far away from being brave enough to tackle such issues. They've been wanting for a long time to reform SexEd in schools and have failed miserably at it. If even on online forums you can't discuss much about this, what chance do state policies and programs have? lol.

Sex education is studied in biology, a pure scientific approach, you don't need sex classes outside science. In fact, sex education classes are pathetic im my opinion. The way they're approached is more of a "hey go try" to little kids.

i like sexual education and it is necessary i believe, but it should be accompanied with pracitcal courses

ان الانفصال بين عالم النساء \ الرجال سببه عدم الادراك الجنسي ، فالعملية الجنسية ليست ممارسة جنس فقط ، بل هو مفهوم الجنس ، والرجل يفهمه بطريقة والمراة كذلك ، والثقافة الجنسية تاخذ هذه الناحية بعين الاعتبار .. خصوصا ان جسد المراة مختلف عن الرجل ، وهذا قد لا نفهمه حتى لو كبقنا اقتراح احدهم بالممارسة الواقعية ، ان الفهم هو اهم من الممارسة ، فياما هناك طلاق في العالم العربي ولبنان بسبب النفور الجنسي والحل هو بالثقافة الجنسية ..

وذلك لا يكون من خلال القول : ان هذا عضو ذكري تركيبته كذلك ، ان الثقافة الجنسية هي ربط العلم بالواقع ، فلم هذه التكوينة كذلك و ما دورها في العلاقة الجنسية\ وذلك ابعد ما يكون عن الاباحية !

The real problem is in the people:

1- in Europe there is a sexual education in the schools but this did not eliminate the rapes and the sexual harassments so it's not the solution of the problems you are exposing here.

2- you need real professionals to teach this sensitive subject and i think that we don't find many of them in Lebanon.

3- you need a society who accepts this kind of education because the sex in Lebanon is considered as a taboo due to the old traditions and to the way we rise our children.

4- the real sexual education has to start from the home when the children will understand that sex is not a bad thing when it's controlled by some rules.

should not eliminate rape and sexual harassments , but sexual education is to teach our children how to control their passion for sex and how to make safe sex and simply how to make sex the right way like this we wont have a whole generation with some complex ,
in the other hand , dont forget that some listen to school lessons others dont thats wy the sexual education in the schools did not eliminate the rape

Maybe you just didn't read well the article you've posted so i deduce that you are not the writer because i was replying to something he'd posted.
And i think that you didn't read well the point 2,3 and 4 where other problems are mentionned.
Plus, i can tell you that many people have complexes in their sexual life even those who tell you the opposite, even those who received a sexual education.You are talking here as if the sexual education is the magical formula which will solve all the lebanese society's problems, but it's not the reality.

I think that your ideas are a little confused because i didn't find neither continuity nor cohesion in your post.
So I can't reply..
