Re: Sunday School classes teaching sex education

I have no trouble with the church teaching on sex or about sex to the youth, say 15 and older. However discussion on positions and 'how-to's' and how-not-to's' should not be the topic that should be covered in a premarital class, IMO. Teaching that sex and sex acts are great things, BUT in the confines of marriage is important.

This topic has been too taboo in the church. If it is taught on the only thing you hear is how bad it is. I think it can hurt our kids. They have this false sense that sex is bad, but yet their bodies are telling them it is ok to do so there is this disconnect. I believe that if the church approached sex from a proactive view instead a reactive view that the youths of our church might have a better understanding and might actually stay away from it. My parents taught me about the benefits of sexual expressions, but also taught it was specifically for marriage. It actually helped me. I think that if we taught it to the youth in a straight honest way and not pervert it to be some bad thing, but show them the actual benefits and purpose it might be a different situation with them experimenting with it, IMO.
