Let's talk about sex

I love Portugal! I really do! It is my country; it’s beautiful, great weather, fantastic food and wine and a good vibe. But of course a country is made of all sort of people and is the short minded ones that really gets on my nerves. When I moved to Denmark (Danish boyfriend is the reason why I have moved) my parents were fantastic and sign me up to received Visão magazine. It is a weekly Portuguese magazine where you can read about economics, politics, social things, etc, in Portugal and in the rest of the world. So today, after my morning jogging I sat down in my coach with green tea and some Christmas Danish cookies (yes, already at the supermarket!) and I begun to read the magazine. And I got mad. I got mad about parents that were against of having sexual education in schools. I got irritated with their petitions to the Prime Minister forbidding their kids to attend such classes. Now, we are talking about a country where the average people works until 6 or 7 p.m. and has very little time to spend with their kids. We are talking about a country that the HIV rate is high among teenagers. We are talking about girls that refuse to use condoms because they are not whores. Why not prepare kids to a sex life? Why not teach them how to avoid pregnancy, diseases, how to be comfortable with your emotions and your body, how to avoid and spot perverts or pedofilans. Is that so bad? Sex is natural. Eventually they will do it! So why not enjoy it and be safe? My short minded idiotic parents: sexual education is not about practical classes where they learn how to do blowjobs, anal sex and so on. It is about preparing your kids to be confident and safe!
