Young Women at Risk
A primary school has come under fire from horrified parents after a health warning containing graphic sex tips was sent home with children as young as six. A letter containing a fact sheet urging parents to 'practise safer sex' was sent home with children by Ipswich West State School south-west of Brisbane last Friday. While the common infection often spreads due to contact sports or by sharing personal materials like razors, toys, towels and clothing, it can also spread by adults through sexual contact. Attached to the note sent home with pupils was a Queensland Health fact sheet on the infection which has very detailed and graphic descriptions of oral and anal sex. Ipswich West State School pictured has come under fire from mortified parents. Always using condoms with water-based lubricant when you have vaginal or anal sex is the best way to avoid getting an STI,' the fact sheet states. It does not matter whether you are male or female, if you put your mouth in contact with your partner's anus or vulva while having sex, you should use a dental dam. The fact sheet also advises against having sex with someone with a visible lump or sore on or near the genitals. The letter signed by the principal pictured was sent home with youngsters last week. Several parents have expressed grave concerns about the letter being sent home with their children.
Experts say as social morales ease, more youths are trying anal sex.
He wanted to try anal sex, and even though the year-old said she was "OK with the idea," she nervously downed several drinks before their lovemaking began. They never did it again. But experts say that as social mores ease, more young heterosexuals are engaging in anal sex, a behavior once rarely mentioned in polite circles. And the experimentation, they worry, may be linked to the current increase in sexually transmitted diseases. Recently, researchers at the Bradley Hasbro Children's Research Center in Rhode Island suggested that anal sex is on the rise among teens and young adults, particularly those who have unprotected vaginal sex. Experts say girls and young women like Carry are often persuaded to try such sexual behavior for the wrong reasons -- to please a partner, to have sex without the risk of pregnancy or to preserve their virginity.
