I don’t frown upon people who cringe whenever they hear the word sex or any topic related to it, nor do I question their beliefs. I just find it amusing especially for UP students to have such reaction.
Yesterday during lunch, I sat with my friends as we gobbled up greasy foods served in the canteen. Somehow, our topic led to sex. But it wasn’t just about sexual intercourse per se. There were the questions of when our first time to watch porn was, where sex shops are in the metro, and what kinds of toys there are for sexual pleasure.
It was an informative talk.
Then I noticed two of my friends became uncomfortable. I could tell the guy felt uneasy but was still willing to learn new things. But the girl just totally disengaged herself from the conversation.
Like I said, I have nothing against people like them.
Just a thought: if some young Filipino adults already feel uncomfortable talking about sex, will sex education make the situation better or worse?
SEX. SEX. SEX. SEX.
Maybe we should just talk about it more often.
