Making sex a taboo will only led to the shambles of their own. It's the lack of sex-ed. only which has let the porn sites, which account for 40% of the total internet traffic, and those myriad cases ofabortions to bloom. Is there's no end to all this? Is it impossible for us to live a pure, spiritual life?

Sex between two consenting adults is a beautiful thing. I understand where you are coming from ?irshadreyaz?. Sex can be whatever the two people want it to be. If that's cuddles and touching or anything else that both of them desire then more power to them.

Let's teach people to respect each other. I believe that everyone has the right to do anything that they want as long as it doesn't harm anyone else.

Believe in what you want, or don't believe as you wish. Just don't force your belief on others.

Anyway, maybe I'm just being the aged hippie that I am. Very Happy

The whole "sex is taboo" issue has always been more of a myth than reality. Or rather, lip service repeated through the ages.

Quite honestly, most societies really could care less.

Unfortunately, some go to extreme lengths to bury any mation of sex and try to eradicate it from public view.

When archeologists uncovered some long buried Ancient Roman treasures, they discovered numerous sculptures that were, well, hardcore porn.

Many of these sculptures were destroyed in an attempt to bury the facts. Photo's were taken and many of them found their way into the short 1979 Making of Caligula (the film) documentary.

Yes, You are right " irshadreyaz"

Most of the people dont know the reality of the sex education.

Sex is the part of life for any person. But some how some religion are not allowed...

I believe that all countries must have to give sex education at school level.

I realize pre-marital sex is condemned by many, but think about it from this angle...

Teenagers have always had sex. The difference is that in the 30s, 40s, 50s, most teens were married by the time they were 17 or 18, which coincides with the time that they began having sex. Fast forward to the 21st century, and the majority of college-bound teens don't plan on getting married until their mid-twenties, but they still have the same sexual urges in their late teen years.

I think as a society it's time we stopped condemning sex and acting like it can be avoided, and instead embrace it as a natural instinct, and spend our time and resources educating young people about being responsible with STDs, birth control, etc.

In some countries, sex education does not exist, and this leads to many desieses from sex, as in STD's of all kinds. Forgive me as I have forgotten the country name, but its somewere in the easter hemisphere. This country has so little sex education, many people that live there will die of a sex related desise. Around 80% or so. Because so little sex education is there, many people have myths about sex. And since almost everyone has an STD, it kills many people.

One of these myths is that sex with a virgin cures aids, or STD's. Which in fact spreads the desiese. This myth also causes alot of rape to go on throughout the country.

Now, i do not know much about the taboo thing, but i know that if poverty countries do not get sex education, they are in trouble.

Just some information about why sex education is needed.

Peace,

I do agree that sex education should be taught all over. I was introduced in fourth grade. Now I believe that's a little too young. Perhaps they should have waited until fifth or sixth grade.

Personally I'm not sexually promiscous and never intend to be. But it's peoples body and what they chose to do with it they can.

But I believe that young people should be equipped with knowledge on the subject so that when the time comes they can make their own decisions about what to do with their own bodies.

I think that it is a mistake to seek the pure, spiritual life at the expense of acknowledging our genetic makeup. Humans are sexual beings. Even if you don't subscribe to Maslow's theories, you understand that sex is a prime driver for humans that comes from the primal urge to procreate. There is a need to protect certain segments of our society against the ills this drive can create, but I believe it to be folly to try and surpress the drive and even the curiosity that comes from sex. People are meant to engage in this activity. They are compelled to seek out sex because it is such a basic need, much like food and shelter.

Humans may have the ability to study the pleasure aspect of the act and couch it in the fancy rituals of modern society, but the fact still remains that sex exists to ensure the survival of the species and the pleasure aspect is designed to keep us interested in the act

I am religious and I do practice abstinence. I'm also a fraternity brother and, even more importantly, not an idiot. I know for a fact that no amount of encouragement will completely eradicate sex among my peers, and no one will ever be "scared straight" by all the STD talk because, frankly, it's fun (or so I hear). Any amount of "faith-based" sex ed should go hand in hand with responsible instruction on the details of sex. It's not encouragement to have sex; it's accepting reality. The fact that the current administration is attempting to block a vaccine for HPV (the leading cause of cervical cancer) because it's seen as a "free pass" for sexual immorality is patently ridiculous and may be the greatest tragedy against both science and humanity ever conceived. It's time to face facts: kids are going to have sex, and we can educate them about doing it responsibly or end up in huge trouble later.

Yes, I agree that sex is important to life, but sex should be enjoyed, used, and respected as humans, not as animals that do their acts on the roads and everywhere they deem - rather don't - it fit. If it were not for sex, then we wouldn't have been here. Our ancesors - not the Darwinian theory kind of ancestors - did not do it on roads and in open. When the sex was confined to the bedrooms and between legal couples, there was law and order. There were also fewer instances of rape and sexual assault. It is anything but natural for a few countries and societies to consider sex - street and promiscuous - to be taboo, and why not? It should be, considering the dangers and risks it poses.
