Friends and porn was still frequently used as a source of information about sex by adolescents and young people aged 15-25 Indonesia.
It was revealed from the survey performed DKT Indonesia in May 2011 in five major cities in Indonesia, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Bali, Jakarta and Surabaya. While the role of parents as resources instead of sex is far below the friends and porn.
Most of the respondents argued, they were afraid people would accuse their parents have had sexual intercourse, although it was never. Therefore, they prefer open towards peers than parents themselves.
In fact, in addition to providing information, sex education can also serve as a reminder for teens to avoid contracting sexually infectious diseases are deadly, such as HIV / AIDS.
Unfortunately, according to Zoya Amyrin, M.Psi, sexual psychologist, sex is understood as something that is taboo or mockery vulgar obscene in Indonesia. In fact, the results of the survey, it is not possible sex is considered as taboo to be discussed because of the advances in technology today, teenagers and even young children can easily access the information sex. "It would be nice if the proper sex education as early as possible to prevent adolescents and young people get the wrong information from sources that are not clear," he said.
Zoya advise parents to begin to provide sex education to children from the age of two years, of the language simple and understandable child. "Children aged between two and eight years vulnerable to sexual abuse because usually he often touched adults," he said. Thus, parents should tell children about touches on the body such as what constitutes sexual harassment, and ask the child to immediately notify parents when experiencing it. Remind children not to carelessly also go with strangers.
When children begin an eight-year-old, who will introduce the changes he experienced related to the development of body hormones. For example, for boys, explain about the morning errection and wet dreams, while for girls, for example, meet with menstruation and use of pads.
Keep in mind, says Zoya, sex education should not only be expected of a school teacher or psychologist because parents are the ones who have the greatest role. That's because the value of the family vary, depending on the rules as currently practiced in the family. (Ditriana Rahmianti)
