Sexual Literacy

When I researched sexual literacy this is what I found. I believe the different points show sexual literacy through a scientific and emotional point of view.

• Sexuality touches each of our lives and is essential to our well-being.
• Sexuality is about health, intimacy, desire, and protection.
• Sexuality is more than just the 'sex act.'
• Sexual literacy, the knowledge needed to advance and protect one’s own sexual health and well-being, is vital.
• Accessible information and resources are essential for healthy discussions, education, and decision-making about sexuality.

The way I would go about telling a younger teenager about sex is I would make sure that the kid was mature enough first of all and then begin telling him what functions sex delivers (ie pregnancy), but at the same time an act of love that hopefully you share with the person you love, if not (ie one night stand) tell the kid the dangers of it and how to keep safe. Again this conversation would only occur if the kid is mature enough.
