Masturbation

I think that the questions over sex education are not the right ones.

For example, surely the way to start would be to explain to young women the physiological changes which will happen, particularly menstruation. Would I like to brought up not knowing that every month I am likely to have a period and what results from that.

With regard to boys, then surely the best way to start is to explain that there is nothing wrong with getting an erection, it happens.

Finally, in this is where I may be moderated out but I think that more ought to be explained about masturbation. That sometimes you do not have to go out and have an intimate relationship with another young person. It is not a sin, unlike what I was told by the christian brothers at the school I attended. The same applies to both sexes.

A contentious issue I know but if we are going to talk about it then let us please be serious, and talk about the real issues. I am an older man and continue to be surprised about relationships with members of the other sex. I continue to learn about people, their wants and needs.
