Myth: If you talk to kids about sex they will go out and experiment.

Myth: Kids will pick up what they need to know.

Myth: If I don’t feel completely comfortable talking to my students about sexual issues, it’s better not to say anything at all.
Fact: It is quite common to be uncomfortable talking about sexuality. However, we should not let this stop us from educating our students. It is important for educators to provide comprehensive Sexual Health Education that is culturally and socially appropriate, and that meets students’ needs. Talking about facts rather than values is an effective way to combat apprehension. Educator training is an effective method for developing comfort and skill.
Myth:Comprehensive sexual health education doesn’t address abstinence.
Fact: Comprehensive Sexual Health Education stresses abstinence as the preferred sexual behaviour among teens. Abstaining from sexual activity that involves exchange of bodily fluids and/or genital-to-genital or skin to genital contact is the only way to be absolutely sure of avoiding the risk of pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections. Postponement of initial sexual activity until maturity, adherence to one sexual partner and protected sexual intercourse are sequentially offered as the next best alternatives. The programs that have been most effective in helping young people to abstain discuss both abstinence and contraception.
