As the AIDS time-bomb ticks, one Chinese province has declared that sex education should be taught from kindergarten onwards. New courses about sex and health are to be offered in kindergartens, primary and middle schools in southern Guangzhou, one of the biggest cities in China. How early should sex education begin? Is it safe to start at kindergartens, or it wiser at primary, secondary or the university.In some African societies sex talks are for the married onwhile in other societies it a dinnind table snack. when is it best to begin the talk?

I think sex should be in natural conversation from the time of birth. If a child is already aquainted with the topic as second nature, I believe he/she will be better equipt to make the right choices during that time of experimentation.

I dont agree that sex education should be taught as early as in kindergarten. In my view this would have a negative effect on children, children are innocent & unaware beings, so indulging them in such matters will severe the case. Consider your 4 year old child asking you about the sex, sexual relations between you & your partner, c'mon, this is awkward, you are trying to fit a mountain in a mole. You see humans are such a creation of God Almighty that with the passage of time he learns everything & adjusts himself with the environment he lives. So, leave these matters till they are mature enough to be taught about. One thing that I would like to say that wherever sex is allowed between unmarried people (in other words, adultery) there is this life taking disease, the AIDS. And wherever people try to keep themselves away from sex till they get married they enjoy a successful life.
So what I would like to say is that not teach children about sex, instead teach them not to get indulge in it till the time they get married.

kindergarten is too early to discuss such things,children have the ability to discover their surrounding and people around them....and spontaneously they will discover each aother,parents can start discuss these things with their children when they know that it wont confuse them,....its all realted to the child personality..

Interesting. I think the key here would be to not show kids HOW to have sex in kindergarden, but rather other simple basics like teaching them about their own bodies. From there, as they grow older, talks could evolve into something greater with more details, education about STDs (STIs) etc as it makes sense.
I don't think it would encourage kids to have sex more or even earlier and if anything, I would think it would generally be older as the thrill of "what is this all about" would be somewhat downplayed as they would have already learned about it in school.
These days, especially in North America (I can't speak about other countries, but I assume similar situations arise) kids are being sexual beings younger and younger. Going to the mall now, I see 12 year olds dressed like 16 year olds with makeup, short "booty" shorts and all that other stuff. I'm frankly disgusted, but that is where society has moved. Teaching girls (for example) that they don't need to act like a whore to hang out with a guy is certainly something the younger generation needs to learn.
Frankly, the subject outcome is extremely different from country to country and it is clear (as I see it) that religion plays a major role in the opinon of most people. Looking forward to see what others have to say.

"One thing that I would like to say that wherever sex is allowed between unmarried people (in other words, adultery) there is this life taking disease, the AIDS. And wherever people try to keep themselves away from sex till they get married they enjoy a successful life."
I would like to say that there is current research shows no dependent relationship between contraction of AIDs and marital status of individuals.
"Teaching girls (for example) that they don't need to act like a whore to hang out with a guy is certainly something the younger generation needs to learn."
Is this more of an educational thing or media thing? How can young girls be "taught" to feel comfortable in their own 'normal' bodies with 'normal' clothes, when mega-stars (behaving in a different manner) receive so much popularity? This begs the question - where is the basis behind the 'goodness' of conservative dress? Behaviourally speaking, yes, it's probably safer not to have sex with every second person, but in terms of dressing alone, there are few detrimental effects per se (maybe except a cold or in the worst scenario, pneumonia...)... what I'm asking is, why is there a difference between what is "socially accepted" (i.e. nice next-door girls) and what is "socially popular" (i.e. superstars). Is there even a real conflict or do I probe two different sides of the cake (i.e. two different subpopulations of society)?
Then moving onto the main point of sex education - how much can you teach someone in order to allow them to have enough information to make responsible decisions? As such, at what age is one able to consolidate the information with core values (in fact, at what age are your core values defined?) to make a fair decision? When you are 5, how much do you really understand about the implications of sex and the theories behind its 'purpose' in life?
I think it is probably a good idea to introduce 'sex' as a topic to kindergarten kids - though this will probably be met with a lot of objection from parents. I think this objection stems from fear - we DON'T 'KNOW' how the children will react. But I think that on the whole, children will act responsibly - or at least, that is what I would like to believe, though I have absolutely no basis for this. However, I think if sex education is introduced like any other topic, then kids will consider it as that. I think it is important to consider sex in the larger context of gender issues, sexuality issues, biological relevance (for the individual and the human race as a whole) and overall impact on society (healthcare, progress, etc) to name a few things, so that it is not considered as some mysterious, giggle-fest topic for perusal and extensive exploration later on (or perhaps not so late) in life. Of course, the above is quite complicated - I am not sure what you would actually teach a 5 year old child, perhaps start with the anatomical differences between the genders and why there are different genders. I am not sure whether it would be of use to introduce the perception of genders and how in some societies there are more than two genders, thus gendership is merely an arbitrary definition in some cases.

introducing children to the topid of sex at such a young age will make it seem like an option for them.

Not so good idea

My perspective is that the kindergarden period is just too early for having sexual education.
Namely, I've studies that children (the most of them) are asexual until their entrance in puberty and adolescence. So there is not a common ground to talk about in these ages.
Also, I would like to stress the importance of the material presented. It should be adjusted to the region and country, and it should promote positive behaviour, in the same time not discriminating anyone. The politicaly corect terms MUST be used; the sexual diversities must be regarded.
In Macedonia, for example we do not have sexual education, at least no formal. Some NGO-s are doing presentations but it is very very small thing. But what I bothered most it was that at Sociology (this subject is present in secondary education) we are not getting the information needed about the sexual behaviour and orientation. Instead of that, we're talking about sexual deviation that is defined as everything that is not heterosexual.

milan888,
I would like to know which studies you speak of? Are they social or biological/psychological studies?
Thanks.

I think that talking about sex at the kindergarten age is too young, but I do agree that teaching children about their bodies at a young age is a good idea. Sexual Education should be introduced at the middle school level (5 or 6-8) and through highschool. A big part of sexual education, at least in the United States is economic stability in the public school environment. If a school needs a large amount of financial aid to support their health program then they can only teach about abstinence, if the district only needs a small amount of funding then they teach abstinence plus, which has a large emphasise on abstinence. If a district is wealthy and can afford to support their own health program then they can teach about all forms of contraception. Because a good sexual education depends on whether the local taxpayers for the school district can afford to pay more, not everyone in the public school system gets an equal sexual education. It is economically prejudice which, unfortunately is almost always racially prejudice as a result. Most low income districts are mainly minorities, and immigrants, people who are American citizens but do not receive equal treatment. I say that if we are going to change sexual education first make it equal, regardless of economic or racial status.

never too early

I think that it is never too early to teach a child about sex. By the time a child gets to the middle school level their friends have already taught them what they know about sex. So the question is " who do you want to teach your children?" When you look around the world and see child molestation and incest etc... these things are happening to young child; 3,4 and 5 years old children. Sometimes they know that what they are feeling is uncomfortable but they don't nessecarily know that it is wrong for them at their age. Also, if anyone thinks that having sex at 9 and 10 years old is not happening, think again. We live in a world where sex is advertised in everything and children are learning that in Kindergarten,so why not teach them in a setting where they can ask questions (because young children will ask questions teenagers are afraid to ask) and get the right information rather that watching a video and getting the wrong information. Also, thinking that it should start at home is unreliable as well, since some parents weren't taught it and are still living promiscuous lives they can't very well teach the child they had at 14. It's never too early.

I was reading this post and discussions that I had as a group member in training for hram reducton preventiveness in a loca organization came up with that in North American that is not a sett curriculum on HIV/AIDS prevention nor on reproductive health. I do not have an answer as to when sexual health hould be implemented into the learnig system as a course that shoul be taught. We all know that by the time we are bron that sex is not in our minds but that our body reacts to genial movements at a very young age. Health/ wellness need to be se into the school systems as a day to dat things. In university we have a health centre whee students can drop in and see a councilor or even grab pamphlets of any subject they are needing info on, but it is not soemthing that is widely known. HIV/AIDS is not something that is widey spoken with my friends or even aroung campus. Condoms are very accessable but workshops n sexual health and how to prevent yourself from getting an STI or even HIV/AIDS is not something that is advertised. How can we when being gay in capuses is hard enough for homosexuals to even deal with I agree that sexual helath needs to be implemented but the million $ question for me is at what age and is it relly going to make a difference. Are we drilling these messages into children at a youg age thatit will make them much more educated and aware or is it going to bring fatigue into the picte that chldren and youth will be tird of following the rules and want to experiment.
Will we ever have the right answers or the right preventative measure.

Please see that in this article.
http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3675305a7694,00.html
It says that in NZ, sex ed starts at age 5, when the children are introduced to gender anatomy and learn to name the different organs.
That's fantastic I think!!! I also like the approach that Wellington HIgh School has taken. Sex and sexual knowledge should not be feared or tabooed!

I think it is not the right way of fighting AIDS...There are many other ways of stopping AIDS in the society by restricting those people, who are the origin to AIDS everywhere in the society, from doing this job. People are free to open Sex markets anywhere they want . Like in thailand and phillipinees you can find many of these. So the Governament must stop these people from doing so. Not by starting Sex Education in the kindergartens.
