I’d like to let conservatives and our so-called church leaders on an open secret. It is something that many have known and talked about in hushed tones since time immemorial. Namely, students have not only been talking about sex but in many occasions they have been doing sex in schools for some time now. And in many cases, the doing part, has been done in ways and means that would put many porn stars to shame.
Thus, it’s about time that they face up to the fact that our youngsters are not only sexually active but in many cases, sexually adventurous as well. In the 90s I remember an occasion when two students studying in a Catholic school were caught having sex in their school’s rooftop. They are just examples of students who are into stuff that I would not have even thought possible. And mind you, I’ve had my own fair share of sex, from the kinky stuffs that are textbook varieties, to some things that I would rather forget having failed dismally to get my rocks off. At least on this account, I take my hats off to these young people.
My point of contention is that there is no credence to the arguments being espoused by certain conservative sectors calling on the government to put a stop to sexual education in schools. Their main argument is that it’s the job of parents to educate their children on sex. Duh! Wake up call. Our parents have been reneged on this job. And second, many parents are laboring abroad to provide for their families. The churches have been poor substitutes in this regard as well. They have their own skeletons sneaking out of their closets to worry about.
Their other argument is that talking about sex will turn our youngsters into sex fiends of the nymphomaniacs and satyriac varieties. I’d hate to say this but wanting to have sex is as natural as breathing oxygen. Sooner or later, our youths will find their ways and means to explore and enjoy. Yes! You read that right. Enjoy! Because they will surely enjoy it and have lots and lots of it.
So it’s about time we teach them how to enjoy it without adding more to our ballooning population and without unwanted pregnancies and contracting STDs.
It’s about time that we bring sex out of dingy and dark rooms and into the light of the open sunshine. Oops, I’m talking about sex talk and not an orgy. Okay?
Chill out and unwind.
Better yet! Ejaculate!
