In China, sex education is still a sensitive topic, especially in the initial stage of children's sex education. Many parents have zero gender education for their children. The vast majority of teenagers are often self-taught, because their parents have never discussed sex with themselves, and school physical health classes are often perfunctory, even in cut class.

Although some parents know the necessity of sex education for their children, they feel embarrassed and don't know how to speak. There are also some parents who think that their children will naturally understand when they get married. Isn't that how they got here? Deep-rooted ideas and outdated cognition hinder children's sexual education enlightenment like an invisible net, but I don't know that your embarrassment and awkwardness may make children fall into the danger of sexual assault unconsciously.
