This is a blog about sex education. It can be a pretty controversial subject. I think it would be best for people to know my standpoint on sex and it's value.
A sexual value in my opinion deals with emotional attachment. My parents were high school sweethearts and have been married for the past 21 years. When I was younger, the "sex talk" did not consist of much more than my mom saying "If you have sex you'll get pregnant." Nonetheless, from the longevity of my parents' relationship I gained the understanding that you have to love or at least like the person you choose to be intimate with. Being emotionally drawn to a person is a personal value to me because I learned what I lived.
I wanted to explain this briefly to set the tone of the blog. I am for sex education for the very reason stated about. I have what I like to call the "Happily Ever After Complex," meaning that I used to think all couples are meant to be and when they have sex it is not a big deal because they'll be together forever. That isn't always the case. All couples can't be like my parents. Younger generations are having sex at earlier ages, like when I still thought boys had cooties (and they still do, we just don't call them cooties anymore, they're STIs). Naturally, kids and teenagers are curious. Let's educate them.
