Let's Talk About...Sex?

Recently, there's been a lot of talk about the DEPed and CBCP having trouble with implementing SexEd in local schools. Okay, now I realize that we shouldn't simply allow ourselves to get carried off by the current in any case, however, one must realize that this is a touchy issue to many not because of the fact that it outrightly speaks of the death of morality as we know it, but because it may spell the death of morality if this can of fire is handled improperly.

To me, sex is something which is sacred, and whether you're the sort who feels like you're responsible enough to do it prior to your nuptials, or someone who would rather wait until you tie the knot. It should always be done with the best intentions in mind, and in this realm, no one should compromise. Never just let things happen. Decide what's best for you, and stick to it. Minimize your margin for error. Put trust at the forefront. Make respect your ultimate benchmark.

To teach our children about sex can be viewed as us equipping them with the power to discern. This is a valuable tool, after all, Jesus Himself emphasized the importance of teaching us to become "fishers of men". Teaching a man how to fish is of more value than spoonfeeding him/her the answers. Before we judge people who "know", let's pause to think- perhaps it would be better to march into war with loaded guns, as opposed to marching in with empty guns, saintly intent, and broken dreams.
