Hi,
Sex education is a very important topic yesterday, today and always.
I still remember very clearly in my memory when my parents, one day out of the blue, after a day at the beach where we were fishing for octopus. When we got home, they tried to explain certain sexual concepts to me, clearly nervous.
I was 9 years old and a few days after my first communion. I remember that their explanations were a bit vague, shy and not knowing very well how to explain the situation. I, at that age, in the early 90's, had some notion about sexuality, but his explanations, although nervous, were accurate and were a good basis for my later development. I was able to have a full, healthy and respectful sexuality towards my partners.
In the early 1990s, 9 years old was a good age to talk about sex education.
Today
Today, the increasingly early access to technology by children is a difficult problem to face from the point of view of access to pornographic content and creating a distorted image of sexuality.
In my country with 9 years old, many children already have their cell phone with internet access, with a blocking of access to certain pages by parental control, but there are still forms of access to content that are not suitable for those ages.
With the advent of artificial intelligence, in recent months I have read in the press authentic barbarities such as the case of classmates as young as 10-11 years old with the help of some older children, in which they have recreated photos of their naked classmates with subsequent dissemination on social networks. That is, there is a real problem of education and sex education in particular.
That is why, from my humble point of view the best age at which we should educate our young people in sex education is the earliest in which their parents and educators see a certain maturity to understand certain basic concepts and go educating in equality and respect throughout childhood and throughout adolescence.
In short, investing time and resources in education and sex education is a way to achieve better generations in values and avoid future problems.
Best regards.

In our times our parents, gave their best effort to explain us in their own way about sexuality, always with vague information at the moment of transmitting it, but always giving their best effort to make us understand some aspects of sexuality.
Above all, I remember that I always orientate myself with respect. Avoiding unwanted pregnancies so as not to destroy life. And never imposing and always respecting
We can no longer hide things behind incorrect nouns. Just as we call arms “arms”, legs “legs”; one of the first things to correct is to identify the penis as “penis” and the vulva as “vulva”. No “bichito”, “bichita”....
My son, Matthew, just turned 8 years old and he speaks properly. I have been very clear with him since he was very young. Sexuality is as natural as going to urinate or defecate.
With my daughter Sofia it was the same, she knew her body, she knew about the physical changes, the coming of menstruation and how to bring a baby into the world.
Protecting our children means giving them all the necessary and relevant information. Social responsibility, their duties as well as their rights… Their self-knowledge, their self-respect, and the consequences of their actions. Why should they bathe? Why should they eat? Why should they dress appropriately? Why shouldn't they be touched? The answers are clear to us, and we must pass them on to our children. We cannot continue with the taboo in the 21st century.
Absolutely right and very well explained.

Excelente amigo @castri-ja. Fuiste afortunado, al recibir, al menos, las orientaciones de tus padres a tiempo y aunque sin ninguna experiencia y con su timidez natural, lograron que tú te enteraras acerca de tu sexualidad. Así que nada. Afortunado, porque muchos chicos, hasta hoy en día, no han tenido esa oportunidad. Saludos.🤗😍
