Personally, I think sex education should also encompass discussion of the psychological and emotional climate that surrounds sex and relationships. Reading and discussion of works of quality fiction, biography, autobiography, that deal with relationships and their sexual component can do a lot of good in helping people to deal with their own perceptions - and those of others - in a non-threatening way. A lot of teenagers have a hard time coming to grips with physical desire, emotional uncertainty, and the interface between the two; they often have little input from outside and feel as if they are operating in a vacuum. Looking seriously at what others have felt, what others have done, and the consequences of the actions of others can help anyone to understand what they feel and why.

Excellent! I enjoyed reading that. I have always wondered why the most important aspects of being alive: sexuality, relationships, etc. are left to the vagaries of (sometimes) bad experience. The best geometry student in the world can live a wasted and pathetic life--Happiness and meaning have never depended on the degrees in an isoceles angle.
