Pupils told: Sex every day keeps the GP away
A National Health Service leaflet is advising school pupils that they have a “right” to an enjoyable sex life and that regular intercourse can be good for their cardiovascular health.
The advice appears in guidance circulated to parents, teachers and youth workers, and is intended to update sex education by telling pupils about the benefits of sexual pleasure. For too long, say its authors, experts have concentrated on the need for “safe sex” and loving relationships while ignoring the main reason that many people have sex, that is, for enjoyment.
The document, called Pleasure, has been drawn up by NHS Sheffield, although it is also being circulated outside the city.
Alongside the slogan “an orgasm a day keeps the doctor away”, it says: “Health promotion experts advocate five portions of fruit and veg a day and 30 minutes’ physical activity three times a week. What about sex or masturbation twice a week?”
Steve Slack, director of the Centre for HIV and Sexual Health at NHS Sheffield, who is one of the authors, argues that, far from promoting teenage sex, it could encourage young people to delay losing their virginity until they are sure they will enjoy the experience.
Slack believes that as long as teenagers are fully informed about sex and are making their decisions free of peer pressure and as part of a caring relationship, they have as much right as an adult to a good sex life.
Anthony Seldon, master of Wellington College, Berkshire, who introduced classes in emotional wellbeing, said the approach was “deplorable”.
泰晤士报的评论自然没有网易之流强大，所以这样的话题底下也只有77条评论，粗略看了一下，大多数人对NHS持批评态度，不过，站在秦刚同志“你有孩子吗？”立场上，一位有两个小孩儿的家长的评论值得关注：
As a parent of two myself, I have no problem with this what so ever.
I discuss sex with my children openly and freely. The problems don’t come with them being aware, educated and informed, the problems happen when information is with-held, and they are kept in ignorance!
Teenagers will be teenagers regardless of the level of information they have, isn’t it best to educate and inform them as much as you possibly can. Then TRUST your children to do what’s right for them?
Some of the opinions and views on here honestly belong back in the dark ages. The more we can make our teenagers sexually aware, and educate them not only on the benefits but STI/STD’s . The better equipped our teenagers are to make a an informed decision knowing ALL the full facts.
It’s not education that causes unwanted pregnancy and STI/STD’s, it’s ignorance and the kind of attitude dispalyed on here!
