One of the main reasons why there are so much immorality on the side of séx is because our parents didn't gave us séx education. That's an ugly truth right? I mean most of us (including me) find out about séx by ourselves. It's through our curiosity to know the difference between the men and women's body that led us to finding and believing whatever that's exposed to us through the internet, peer pressure, or books. And most of the times, the informations that we got weren't genuine.
Children are curious beings. They have a long way to go, a lot of things to learn, and that's why parents should guilde them when it comes to choosing what to read, see or learn. Unfortunately, many parents failed in this area, because they were too busy with work (or some time consuming activities)that they forget their children's need for them.
For example, My parents didn't gave me séx education, I found out everything on my own. I as a kid was curious to know what I don't know, and out of my curiosity, I was exposed to the wrong kind of information. I got the information in the wrong way (through peer pressure, books or the internet), and the negative effects were not left behind.
Honestly, I wish my parents taught me what I needed to know about séx when I was a kid, but they didn't.
Curiosity is like a force of attraction; the more you want or think about something, the more you are likely to do it. So out of curiosity, many kids has been exposed to the wrong knowledge of séx. The funny thing is that social media or peer pressure will always tell you what you wish/want to hear; they will tell you the exciting and fun part of it. They won't tell you the side effects behind it until it's too late.

Alright, let's confirm if this information is true! Did your parents gave you any séx education when you were a kid? Comment your answer below!

You are very right.

Most parents see sex education as a sin and that leaves more questions than answers.

It is your duty to educate your children, if you fail, then they will be educated by their peers and trust me, it is gonna be the ugly side.

Sex education? With the way African parents are strict with sex talks, with their children... It makes you wonder some times as a child how they gave birth to you... like did I fall from heaven? Was I adopted?

Everything my mum told me about sex was fallacy....

Hmmm.

I thought about the same thing too; I wondered how I came into existence. I thought that babies would automatically start to grow in the womb after marriage.

Lucky you! Your mom told you something (though it's fallacy), but mine told me nothing — absolutely nothing!

Some parents did while some didn't.
Even the ones that did, a divided portion did in the right way and the rest in the wrong way.

What will u say of a parent who introduced their children to it at an early age?

Times have Changed, sex education should be introduced to kids as early as 2 years in a progressive manner by the parent/guardian

Nigeria is full of shy parents! I no dey take them serious when it comes to that kind of information!!!
But what u said is very true!!! I myself learned everything on my own!

Shyness should not be an excuse! Your kid's safety should be one of your biggest concern!

Most people were curious about sex because of what they watched on Tv and saw on social media. Children naturally do not talk about what they don't know about.

Sex education makes you justify having premarital sex.
Sex education has nothing to do with educating the child about sex but all about enabling the act of sex without feeling quilty.

Why should a child be concerned about sex education at a age when the child is suppose to learning tools to be independent and successful.

Sex education is all about the obsession of sex

I remembered while growing up, I was playing with a friend and he did something that almost injured me

I told him:

"if you kill me, you will just buy a new me for my parent"

I thought children were bought from a special market

You're smart

Lol


Even though o never got any education about sex from my parents,I still don't care about it.

Regardless I had all the freedom to do anything I want.

African parents are too primitive and unexposed. It's black man mentality. Its how they think. Even as a child is growing up, they're supposed to instill high confidence and self esteem in that child by letting the child be involved with talent shows and letting the child out and see the world as it is at an early stage but they do the opposite. Kill the child's confidence and self esteem. They'll trap the child inside house like an animal.

we are many. Thank god for porn

This is why the rate of unwanted pregnancies will keep skyrocketing by the day due to Lack of sex education

As a child I used to think if you sit down beside a boy you would get pregnant

This is one area I find The church n religion culpable because so much energy is spent condemning demonising sex rather than educating its members on sex. People are taught from their youth to see sex and anything that relates to it as a sin, undignifing, unclean, unholy etc and when they eventually get married, they are still caged by those teachings. They can't talk about it even to their spouse talkless of their kids because they have being programmed to think its bad and unholy. Forgetting that we are created as sexual beings and God is the originator of sexuality.

yes you are absolutely right. My parents negleted sex ed or maybe they thought i was too small to explore. that really gifted our housemaid the opportunity in a wrong way. i enjoyed the the prelude but it got to a point i hated it when when i started feeling molested.
i really took it on myself to be closer to my sisters than any guy out there to make them understand it isnt as it was painted by pees and maraouding devourers.
that to my parents who either felt ashamed of it or maybe thought i am saint paul.

Television,movies,, porn, dating apps are to blame

In an african home you don't even say a word that starts with 's' and ends with 'x' asides 'six' or 'sax'. I'd even advise you say 'saxophone' instead of 'sax'. Yea, it's that bad in Africa.

Most parents see sex talk with their wards as a taboo. Hence, the alarming rate of teenage pregnancy globally.

You see teenagers becoming parents at age 13! For goodness sake how can a baby take care of a baby?

I understand parents are too busy chasing money but we can't be too busy to be involved in our kids lives. Todays generation are very exposed to media and peer pressure. If you don't teach ur kids what they need to know at the appropriate time, the end result will be regrets and shame.

Let all be Guided, if you are not well trained by your parents now you have the chance to train your unborn kids properly as for me, my parents brought me up well and I tend to do so with my kids

Only in African will you see parents giving birth to 7 children! And they would never discuss about anything "Sex". Pathetic!

StacyO thank God for porn that yarns by liposure hit differently

You are very right.

I agree with you op. My parents didn't tell me much. When I was in secondary school, anytime a female friend visit me either from the church or neighborhood, once she goes, my mum will open the Bible and begin to preach to me.

I'll be like I didn't do anything with her, she'll tell me how heaven and hell is real, and how the sin of sexual immorality can send you to hell. She will talk and talk and talk and I'll be like, but I didn't do anything ma.

The problem why many parents don't educate their children in sex education is because of religion. They feel that if they draw them closer to God they (the children) will automatically hate sex. If only they knew how wrong they were.

This method is only effective from adolescent age. Once the child becomes a teenager, religion can't stop him/her from exploring whatever it is they want to explore.

Parent need to wake up and invest more time on their kids.

But even abroad, where there is sex education, the level of sex is even higher than what we have here. So, I don't think it is a problem of sex education.

That’s true anyway
