The following true story can reflect the general situation of sex education in China at present.
One of the stories is that a key middle school in a city organized students to watch the science and education film Miracle of Life, which is a short film about physiological health knowledge and reproductive knowledge. When the female organs appeared on the screen, most girls at the scene bowed their heads, dared not look directly at the screen, blushed and looked at them at a loss. As soon as male organs appeared, two girls bowed their heads and left, and then all the remaining girls "ran away", and many boys followed. By the end of the film, there were only 30 boys left in the audience of more than 800 people.
Story 2: One morning in winter, a slim and comely girl walked into the obstetrics and gynecology clinic of a hospital. Since the second day girl gave her first night to a male classmate in the class, her menstrual period has been late. She didn't understand what was going on, and she was too embarrassed to ask others, so she let this brilliant flower of life wither prematurely.
Story 3 One evening, the sunset spit out the last bit of blood. A police car rolled up flying dust and left the village with a teenager. Looking at the distant police car, people will never believe that a good student who has been rated as "three good students" and monitor every year is actually a rapist!
His name is Chen Bin. Although he is only 15 years old, he is as tall as an adult. In a self-study class in the second semester of Grade Two, he found a classmate peeking at a magazine. As the head teacher of Class One, he confiscated the magazine mercilessly and prepared to give it to the teacher. When he got the magazine, he was attracted by the pictures full of sexual temptation on the cover. He secretly read some wonderful plots in the book over and over again. Since then, he has always been unable to concentrate in class and has been immersed in the plot of the book all day. One noon in summer vacation, the weather was hot and dry, and I wandered to my neighbor Lin's house. There is no one else in the Lins' family, only a girl as beautiful as flowers and jade. Unable to control his impulse, he picked up a cloth belt on the table, wrapped it around Miss Lin's neck from behind, stunned her and put it on the bed. ...
These three true stories illustrate the problems in our sex education:
1. After thousands of years of blockade, imprisonment and repression, sex education has become an insurmountable forbidden area and an endless desert in China. Students dare not face up to the public and scientific display and explanation of human sexual organs, which just shows their ignorance of sexual science knowledge, and they still regard it as "obscene and shameful" and cannot make it public.
2. In recent years, with the development of economy, the opening up of China and the enhancement of China people's self-awareness, after a painful struggle, scientific sex education has finally emerged, but both the form and the content are behind the unscientific propaganda of sex by the mass media.
3. Sex hormones play a role in adolescent development every day. Their hearts are really eager to have an easily accepted way to teach them vivid, intuitive, systematic and scientific sexual knowledge, so that they can get rid of the troubles, pains and fears brought about by adolescent development.
There are many reasons for sexual crimes, and sex education plays a very important role in preventing them. When we impart sexual physiology knowledge to teenagers (we once only paid attention to this aspect), we should also give sexual safety education, sexual health education, chastity education and so on. If we don't enlighten teenagers' emotions through sex science education, protect themselves from sexual temptation and harm during their growth, guide teenagers to pursue the unity of spirit and body, and coordinate the balance between material and spiritual life, they will indulge their pursuit of primitive sexual desire and lose their self as civilized people.
At present, the status quo of sex education is simple in form and content, and educators are still shy, "hiding half a face behind the guitar in front of us", not to mention students. When people discuss the issue of "how to carry out sex science education", especially in the face of precocious puberty and puppy love among teenagers, teachers and parents' understanding still stays at the moral (or quality) level, either in general terms or without direct face-to-face communication. No (or very few) people will seriously think about whether there are serious defects in our sex education for teenagers. Why can't we talk about "sex" directly with teenagers and answer all kinds of puzzles and questions about sex during their growth? Can the comprehensive science education we are carrying out or about to carry out reflect the protection of adolescent health and safety in the process of adolescent development?
Therefore, many knowledgeable sex education is full of worries about our sex education, and it is not unreasonable. We can look back on the road of sex education that we have experienced and are still continuing.
A sample survey of a sex education institution in the south shows that more than 95% of the citizens are at a loss about sex knowledge! In fact, the reason is very simple, because in the past, only "physical hygiene" and "health education" involved sexual content. However, due to the limited sexual content involved in the textbook itself, in a sense, it is only a purely natural explanation of human reproductive organs from a scientific point of view, and even if students "learn thoroughly", they know very little. What's more, almost all teachers, when teaching this chapter, artificially arrange students to "read by themselves" after class. Teachers teach passively, and students learn more passively, thus forming a blind spot of teenagers' sexual knowledge, which remains "blank" even after adulthood. At the same time, China's scientific knowledge of human body is extremely poor, but social pollution has spread rapidly, and it has "attacked the city and plundered the land" in the field and space where people receive sex education. If we pay a little attention to the world of minors, it is not difficult to find that their so-called "sexual knowledge" is actually full of sexual pollution, and the "pollution source" is pornographic books and periodicals, laser recording and other obscene audio-visual products that are extremely toxic to them. At the same time, with the improvement of people's living standards and the reform and opening up, the phenomenon of physical and psychological precocity of minors has become increasingly obvious, which has aroused social concern and anxiety. However, in the critical period when teenagers urgently need to know about sexual knowledge, due to the lack of correct and scientific sexual guidance in our school, family and society, a considerable number of children have abnormal sexual psychology and are eager for sexual contact. Due to the lack of sexual knowledge and the spread of sexual pollution, sexual crimes have also increased, which has become a serious social problem that undermines stability and disrupts public order.
Although the sex education of health science can finally be presented to the public with the vigorous promotion of people of insight, it has taken an extremely difficult but very gratifying first step from theoretical discussion to social practice.
However, the development of sex education is not smooth sailing. Experts believe that the resistance of sex education mainly comes from ideas. Those who oppose sex education mainly have the following views:
1, the theory of self-learning without teachers-people who hold this argument believe that children will naturally understand sexual knowledge when they grow up. They are indifferent to their children's sexual doubts, or they are cajoling and prevaricating. In some families, when children ask their parents "Where am I from" with curiosity, parents will even say "I will pick you up outside" irresponsibly.
2, closed insurance theory-some people think that the more you know about sexual knowledge, the easier it is to have an accident, and the more closed it is, the safer it is. However, experts point out that when people reach puberty, a series of drastic changes will take place in physiology and psychology. How can we turn it off? Moreover, due to the role of rebellious psychology, the more closed, the stronger the mystery and curiosity of children. Only positive education and guidance are "safe".
3, sex education yellow theory-some people think that talking about sexual knowledge is tantamount to spreading yellow and obscene things, leading children astray. A farmer's parents said angrily: "children go to school to learn culture, not learning." Now that the school is engaged in those things, it is impolite to say that it is to educate children to commit crimes. "
Some parents think that the key to educating the next generation is to cultivate their correct world outlook and outlook on life, noble moral sentiments and healthy sexual psychology. As for the spread of sexual knowledge, we should pay attention to certain methods. For unprepared minors, it is easier to increase the sense of shyness. Even if they have the desire to understand, they will appear in the opposite direction on the surface. The effect of this kind of education is even more imaginable.
Adults' sexual concept is somewhat influenced by traditional concepts, and their understanding of sex is more based on their own experiences and experiences. I am afraid that the educated have the most say in the present situation of sex education and the urgency of accepting sex knowledge.
Beijing has made some investigations on the basic situation of adolescent sex education for junior middle school students, and the results are as follows:
1, junior high school students' basic cognition of sex is not satisfactory.
Only 55.2% of junior high school students clearly agree that sex is the basic need of human beings. And 7. 1% of the students clearly expressed "disagreement"; There are also 37.7% students in a vague state, which means "unclear".
As for the common sense question, "Do you think it is necessary to clean the sex organs frequently?" Only 59.4% of junior high school students clearly agree, 1.3% clearly disagree, and 39.3% of students are "unclear".
The survey also shows that nearly half of junior high school students lack the basic correct understanding of sex and the most basic knowledge of sexual health care.
2. Junior high school students urgently need to receive adolescent sex education. According to the survey, 56.9% of junior high school students explicitly object to the view that "children will naturally understand sex when they grow up and don't need education"; 59% of junior high school students explicitly object to the view that "sex education will lead children to have more sexual behaviors". Most junior high school students (76.6%) believe that "if children can receive good sex education at school, they will make more informed decisions about sex when they grow up". To some extent, this expresses their subjective desire to get adolescent sex education.
3. What channels do junior high school students want to obtain sexual knowledge most?
The survey shows that the top two are "school education" (56.9%) and "parents" (12.6%), followed by "doctors" (9.2%), "classmates" (6.7%) and "computer internet" (4.6%). 4. Junior middle school students call on schools to strengthen adolescent sex education.
According to the survey, 47.7% of junior middle school students are dissatisfied with the current school sex education, and think that "the current school sex education is too conservative". There are 4 1.8% junior high school students who think that "teaching sexual knowledge in school should be as important as teaching Chinese and mathematics". It should be acknowledged that some schools in Beijing have done a lot of work in implementing adolescent sex education and achieved certain results.
5. What is the most needed sexual knowledge for junior middle school students?
The survey shows that junior high school students need the most sexual knowledge: adolescent sexual physiology knowledge (60.7%), sexual psychology knowledge (15.5%), sexual health care knowledge (10.9%), sexual morality knowledge (9.2%) and sexually transmitted diseases and prevention.
6. Junior high school students hope that parents will pay attention to the implementation of adolescent sex education.
The survey shows that 32.8% mothers didn't tell their children how to deal with it before their daughter's first menstruation, which shows the lack of sex education in family education practice. Many parents themselves have no experience in sex education, and even are illiterate about sex knowledge. When asking questions about sex, parents are evasive, specious, ambiguous, lacking correct guidance to their children, and even misleading.
The Department of Teaching Management of South China Normal University also conducted a questionnaire survey on setting up a minor major in sexual health education. The statistical results show that 92. 1% of college students think it is necessary to set up this major, and 22.2% of college students plan to study this major.
From the above analysis and investigation results, we can see that teenagers' understanding of sex and their desire for sexual knowledge are far from what adults think. Therefore, on the issue of how to carry out sex education, the first thing to do is to change the original understanding of parents, educators and all walks of life on the content and methods of sex education. What scientific sexual knowledge should I know? What kind of sex education should teenagers know? What kind of content and form are suitable for teenagers and effective? We should be forward-looking and clearly understand the future development trend of society, so that the goals and results of sex education can meet the needs of social development. We can't give up scientific sex education for teenagers just because we haven't received scientific sex education. We should answer teenagers' sexual questions frankly and truly and try our best to dispel their confusion about sex. We must not simply think that teenagers care about sex, that is, they "think about such things all the time." On the contrary, we should see that teenagers can ask questions, which shows that they have doubts and curiosity, and want to know why and what will happen-just to gain knowledge. If scientific sexual knowledge is taught to them through appropriate channels and expressions, they will also be able to correctly treat the unscientific propaganda of sex by mass media.
After teenagers enter adolescence, they rarely ask questions about sex directly, and it seems that they are no longer interested in "sex". In fact, due to the stimulation of a large number of sex hormones, their interest in "sex" is showing explosive growth momentum. To protect themselves, they kept silent. At this time, they often feel that the knowledge about sex taught by teachers and parents is too simple and general to satisfy their thirst for knowledge. If teachers and parents think it's just right not to ask, which saves the trouble of explanation, then they will go to various media (even obscene books and periodicals) to find the "knowledge" they need.
Therefore, it is the core and purpose of adolescent sex science education to exchange knowledge and feelings with adolescents regularly and equally, to explore how to understand the normal and abnormal manifestations of puberty physiology, psychology and behavior, to let adolescents know how to master the words and behaviors in the process of communication with the opposite sex, and to help them pass adolescence smoothly.
Although public opinion can't reach an agreement on how to carry out sex education at present, the understanding of propagating science, breaking the mystery of sex, getting out of the misunderstanding of sex and benefiting thousands of families is increasingly converging. Professor Wu Jieping, Honorary Dean of China Academy of Medical Sciences, pointed out: To do a good job in sex education, especially in adolescence, we should abandon the misconception that sex is instinctive and self-taught, not only to break the long-standing sexual imprisonment and mystery in history, but also to point out the harm caused by sexual liberation and indulgence to people and society.
Therefore, in China, sex education should no longer be a question of whether to do it or not, but a question of how to do it well. Faced with the spread of yellow poison in the past two years, many people of insight are deeply worried. Some education experts pointed out that pornography has been banned repeatedly in recent two years, and one of the fundamental reasons is that sex education has not been popularized and developed healthily in China. If the position of sex education is not occupied by correct ideas and knowledge, then obscene ideas will be occupied.
Facing generations of precocious young people, facing younger and younger girls in the abortion room, and facing the confused eyes in prison (a teenager who committed sexual crimes once said when he was arrested: Don't you adults often do this kind of thing? Will I be reeducation through labor if I do it? ), China calls for sex education, calling for lost souls to get out of the quagmire of pain-it is really urgent!
We have entered a brand-new century, and we sincerely hope that the whole society can have a full and clear understanding of popularizing sexual knowledge and strengthening guidance. With the joint efforts of schools, families and society, let our children and every member of society play their own beautiful and wonderful sex music under the guidance of sex science and sexual ethics.
1, the importance and necessity of sexual health education.
Sex education is the common demand of human beings. Sex education has a long history in China. China traditional culture has a long history of more than 5000 years. In this extensive and profound traditional culture, there are always various viewpoints, contents and practices of sex education.
As early as 500 BC, Confucius, a great educator, taught "Six Arts", and one of the textbooks was The Book of Songs. In this new textbook compiled by Confucius, there are dozens of poems about the love between men and women, which can be regarded as early sex education. White Tiger Tong, published in the Eastern Han Dynasty in 79 A.D., recorded that part of the education content of the institution established for aristocratic children at that time was "the change of yin and yang couples", which could be regarded as early formal sex education.
As for the traditional folk custom of "closet bottom" as a tool of sex education, it is a traditional educational activity for mothers to impart sexual knowledge to their married daughters. There are many other views and contents of sex education scattered in poems, novels, plays and Chinese medical classics.
For example, there is a saying in the pre-Qin bamboo slips unearthed in Mawangdui, which records people's views: "A lifetime without learning = a day off." Second, eat. Both are nothing more than learning and service. So healthy people eat it, and the color of the living is also damaged. So it is necessary for both saints and men. " In other words, a person born with only breathing and eating is self-taught, and there is nothing to learn except study and practice. Diet is beneficial to life, while lust may be harmful to health, so people must learn and abide by the laws of sexual life.
It can be seen that the ancients saw the importance of sex education very clearly.
