Sweden: Sex education through TV.

Sex education in Sweden, also known as "contraceptive education", is a model of worldwide education, and its early school sex education is one of the internationally recognized successful models of youth education.

From 65438 to 0942, Sweden began sex education for children over 7 years old. The content is that primary schools teach knowledge about pregnancy and fertility, middle schools teach knowledge about physiology and body functions, and universities focus on love, contraception and interpersonal relationship management. 1966, Sweden tried to implement sex education through TV, which broke the situation that parents could not talk about sex. This educational model has achieved remarkable results: the prevalence rate of sexually transmitted diseases is extremely low, and girls under the age of 20 are almost pregnant and have children. Up to now, the positive rate of HIV in China is only 5 132 cases, the birth rate has dropped significantly, the abortion rate is extremely low, and the proportion of sexually transmitted diseases and sexual crimes is also declining.

Finland has a nature education book Our Body. Parents can talk about a paragraph every day like "One Thousand and One Nights", and sex education will naturally begin. After more than 30 years, sex education in Finland has achieved remarkable results and was set as a model by the World Conference on Population and Development.

Holland: Children and parents discuss sexual topics at the dinner table.

The Dutch people's open sexual attitude left a deep impression on the whole world. However, the teenage pregnancy rate in the Netherlands is the lowest among European countries. In the Netherlands, like other courses, children begin to receive sex education when they enter primary school at the age of 6, and children even discuss this topic with their parents at the dinner table. Dutch education experts believe that early sex education for teenagers and even children can help teenagers know how to protect themselves and help them not to make regrets that they will regret for life because of a temporary sexual impulse or some ignorance about sex.
