Hey guys , most of us would have learnt about sex - both right & wrong ways from the internet . Why is still talking about sex a taboo ? None of our parents taught us what safe sex is ? How to use a condom/ diaphragm ? How to tackle unwanted sexual approaches ? Why does our society refuse to talk about something that everyone of us literally does behind closed doors ? Do you think sex education can be a possibility in the future curriculum ?

1 Talking about sex is still a taboo only in the elderly age group or lets say in 40+ people. And it is due the social setting they were in as well as the technology not being advanced on their days to know about sex or share about sex. While the current generation or middle aged people and below have had a better exposure to sex ( comparatively ). We had good access to mobile phones and internet to explore about sex. Only rare people are shy to talk about sex these days. And being shy is not taboo.
2,3,4 Yes because our parents were neither taught about safe sex nor sex at all. They got to know only when they got to know. And Indian family setting used and in sineways still consider sex as something divine or holy. So we can't blame them. In the first place we should stop blaming others ( especially parents ) for not teaching us certain things. Coz now you have every knowledge at your fingertip. Browse it, read it, find what's appropriate and act.
5 I still believe having sex behind the doors is appropriate than having an orgy, right ?
And why do we want the society to talk about sex ? I don't want to live in a society where everyone talks about sex , sex jokes and all. And I don't want little children to hear much of sex words.
But then there should be healthy awareness about sex.
If you have some sexual problem, go meet a doctor like me. If it's something about someone sexually harassing you, file a complaint, share it with your friends and family for support. I don't think strangers advising me about sex is good for me.
6 Absolutely. Sex Education is possible and it will be there too someday. And that will make significant changes to the new generation. ( Still the 40+ age groups wouldn't be able to accept it no matter what ) And it is okay. We can never make a perfect social environment. Only we can improve the present scenarios and make it better.
