Adolescent Period

Adolescent period is the foundation period for anyone to give the Sex education since puberty starts in adolescent period for both boys and girls. In every human’s life sexuality is one of the important aspects. It has influence and major part through their thoughts, experiencing of pleasure, reproduction intimacy, sexual identities, sexual roles etc. In fact, most of the problems related to sex and sexuality issues among the adolescents are because of the fact that problems they have given information only from text book contents. Very often adolescents are not given education on various issues related to human relation, behaviour, sex and sexual relations. Aparajita Choudhury (2006) has discussed the importance of Family Life Education (FLE), especially in Indian Context. She says that the purpose of FLE is to change or modify individual behaviour through new information and skill, which will leads to communicating and loving more effectively. The present study aims to describe the attitude of adolescent boys about sex education for healthy sexual behaviour. Hence, for this research, descriptive design has been adopted. (Royce Singleton, Bruce. C. Straits, Margaret. M. Straits and Ronald. J. McAllister, 1988).The research findings and reviews about sex education show that there is a need to improvement among adolescent boys on sex education as more focus was given for girls’ sex education. The researcher would like to suggest three stage sex educations for an individual as a continuous sex education for life, namely child sex education, adolescent sex education and adult sex education.

Summary: The sexual behaviour and factors which affect such behaviour, source of knowledge and education about sex was assessed by means of an anonymous selfadministered questionnaire among 2754 pupils (15-18 years) attending 40 (85%) second level schools in Galway City and County. The purpose of the study was to make recommendations in relation to a school sexual health education programme. Overall 21% of pupils had had sexual intercourse, with boys more than twice as likely as girls to have experienced this. The mean age of first sexual intercourse was 15.5 years, 72% reported having used a condom at first intercourse but of 475 pupils who had sexual intercourse regularly only 67% used condoms all the time with 33% using them sometimes or never. Over half reported that first intercourse was with a 'casual' partner and 35% and 9% respectively claimed that alcohol and nonprescribed drugs were a contributory factor. In relation to sexual risk beliefs, 72% believed that condoms used properly reduced the risk of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and 78% knew that the contraceptive pill is not protective against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections. While the level of knowledge regarding sex education was generally high over one-third of sexually active respondents had been involved in high-risk behaviour. A need for health education programmes which focus on behaviour change and assertiveness has been identified.

Sex And Sexuality

The terms sex education, sexuality education, and sexual health education—mentioned throughout this article—all reflect the diverse scholarship that considers how sex and sexuality are taught and learned in different contexts across the lifespan. While people learn about sex and sexuality throughout their lives, most discussion of sexuality education focuses on the lessons learned by children, adolescents, and youth. And, though young people learn about sex and sexuality from various sources, US debates about sexuality education focus on school-based learning. This article considers the social construction of childhood and debates around school-based sex education as well as scholarship that examines other sites of sex and sexuality education. Families, religious and secular communities, media, and the Internet all play significant roles in dispersing information and values surrounding sex and sexuality. These and other sites of sexuality education reflect and contribute to societal and cultural ideologies around sex and sexuality. Research on sexuality education has also considered the ways sex education has the potential to reproduce, as well as contest, societal inequalities. This article focuses on sexuality education in the United States, and while the majority of the scholarship reflects this focus, included are some texts written within other national contexts that have influenced scholarship or thinking about sexuality education research and practice within the United States. While this article does not contain a section explicitly engaging with citizenship, the ways sexuality education has been involved in constructing and policing US national identity comes up in several sections.

This article discusses how the comics form is peculiarly suited to deliver affecting, inclusive sex education. Through analysing the comics anthologies Not Your Mother’s Meatloaf, compiled by Saiya Miller and Liza Bley, and Graphic Reproduction, edited by Jenell Johnson as part of the Graphic Medicine series, this article addresses several specific ways in which these anthologies – and the autobiographical comics they include – demonstrate unconventional and effecting methods of conducting sex education. Comparing these collections to sex education film shows how comics are particularly suited to this goal. These comics anthologies demonstrate the importance of inclusive community-building as a central project of sex education, as well as the need to challenge the teacher–student methodology. Specific comics within these anthologies by Eli Brown and Paula Knight demonstrate how comics allow for radical expressions of how bodies relate to sex and sexuality. Other comics, including those by Alison Bechdel and Alex Barrett, reveal how the pauses and ambiguities fostered by comics heighten their emotional impact and educational value. The overarching power of these narrative comics comes from the self-awareness of the form itself, especially the vulnerability of drawing oneself in relation to sexual experiences. This article concludes that these distinct characteristics of comics allow both a healthy way for creators to look back on their own experiences with sex and, in turn, encourage readers to effectively learn from these depicted experiences.

And Control

This paper examines parent-adolescent communication about sexuality in the family context. Of central concern is how parents and their adolescent children interact and communicate about sexual identities and practices. The paper focuses on kinship and familial relations between parents and adolescents, family dynamics and the processes impacting on young people's emergent sexual development and informal sex education in the home. The data is drawn from interviews with 38 young people aged 15-21 years with another 31 participating in focus-groups. The paper argues that mutual and open dialogue about sexuality between parents and adolescents remains highly circumscribed due to how sexuality is relational and regulated in the family context. The data reveals that despite strong family relationships, complex patterns of surveillance and negotiation mean that parents and children monitor and control situations related to expressing sexuality. Instead of ‘passive’ processes operating to manage sexual identities, this paper finds that parents and young people necessarily draw on more sophisticated practices of what can be conceptually termed as the ‘active acknowledgement’ and ‘active avoidance’ of sexuality as a means to manage sexual identities across different family contexts.

It is impossible to imagine modern life without education. It allows a person to learn something new, to know the reality around, to realize their abilities, to reveal their talents, to find a vocation in life. Education is not only the process of learning new information, but it is also the upbringing and development of the individual, their exposure to the world and national culture, the formation of a certain system of values. Currently, there are several problems in education, like in any other public sphere, that cause active discussion in society and require resolution at the legislative level. This article presents a legal study of spiritual education, taking into account its legal regulation and implementation in Russia at the present stage. The authors of the article consider the most important aspects of the implementation of the right to spiritual education in Russia and conduct a comparative legal analysis of the Russian legislation on spiritual education. The article considers the types of educational organizations that provide religious education and their educational programs, describes the foreign experience of religious education, and conducts a systematic analysis of educational standards of higher education. The authors identify current problems in the field of organization and implementation of religious education, give recommendations for their solution, and indicate areas for improving legislation on religious education. It is concluded that the introduction of subjects teaching religion in educational institutions is legal in compliance with the principle of voluntary choice of education.

Risk Sexual Behaviour

Abstract Background: The sexual behaviour of adolescents is of importance due to the engagement in risky sexual activity at a too early age, which may be associated with the adverse outcomes. The study aims to understand the transitions in adolescent boys and young men’s high-risk sexual behaviour in India using two rounds of Indian demographic health survey, NFHS-3 (2005-06) and NFHS-4 (2015-16). Methods: A total of 25,538 in NFHS-3 (2005-06) and 35,112 in NFHS-4 (2015-16) men were considered for the analysis. Men have been divided into two age groups as 15-19 years (adolescent) and 20-24 (young men) for comparison purposes. Descriptive and multivariate statistics have been used. Results: Overall, high-risk sexual behaviour has increased among adolescent boys (64% to 70%) and young men (18% to 27%) from 2005-06 to 2015-16. The trend of live-in relationship has increased among adolescent boys of rural areas (0.6% to 6.0%) as well as in urban areas (3.1% to 10.9%) over the last ten years. Adolescent boys having 10th and above years of schooling (AOR=1.98; p<0.01), residing in urban areas (AOR=2.23; p<0.01), and belonging to the affluent class of households (AOR=1.41; p<0.05) were more likely to engage in high-risk sexual activity than the young men in India. The odds of high-risk sexual behaviour was higher among alcohol-using adolescent boys (AOR= 1.82; p<0.01) and young men (AOR=2.38; p<0.01) in 2015-16.Conclusions: The study concludes that early sexual debut, lower prevalence of condom use at first sexual experience, tendency of live-in-relationship, and alcohol consumption indicate the hazardous interconnection between such behaviours among adolescent boys over the last decade which put them at higher-risky sexual behaviour as compared to young men. Adolescent’ sexual behaviours have both short-term and long-term consequences, and interventions that focus on multiple domains of risk may be the most effective in helping to promote broad reproductive health among young adults.
