NHS tells school children of their 'right' to 'an orgasm a day'
NHS guidance is advising school pupils that they have a "right" to an enjoyable sex life and that regular sex can be good for their cardiovascular health.

The advice appears in leaflets circulated to parents, teachers and youth workers and is meant to update sex education by telling students about the benefits of enjoyable sex.

The authors of the guidance say that for too long, experts have concentrated on the need for "safe sex" and committed relationships while ignoring the principle reason that many people have sex.

Entitled Pleasure, the leaflet has been drawn up by NHS Sheffield, but it also being circulated outside the city.

The leaflet carries the slogan "an orgasm a day keeps the doctor away". It also says: "Health promotion experts advocate five portions of fruit and veg a day and 30 minutes' physical activity three times a week. What about sex or masturbation twice a week?"

Steve Slack, the director of the Centre for HIV and Sexual Health at NHS Sheffield, who is one of the leaflet's authors, says that instead of promoting teenage sex, it could encourage young people to delay losing their virginity until they are certain they will enjoy the experience.

Mr Slack believes that if teenagers are fully informed about sex and are making their decisions of their own will in a loving relationship, they have an equal right as an adult to an enjoyable sex life.

Anthony Seldon, the headmaster of Wellington College, which recently introduced classes in emotional wellbeing, said the leaflets were deplorable".

NHS tells school children of their "right" to "an orgasm a day" - Telegraph

:hmm: Isn't this sending a mixed message to these children?
 
Yea, it is! I can see teens saying "I was told that having sex is healthy!" when getting lectured about having sex.
 
I don't think they should encourage the teens to have sex for the health's sake. It's normal for teens to masturbation, I am not against that, but the sex, no.
 
I'm a single mom of 3 teenagers...who keep their BR doors closed when sleeping...and of course, I always knock and wait before entering their room for anything....I'm sure they masturbate....we've never had a convo about this.....but I think it's healthy and private....but having "real sex", absolutely NO.

I've heard it said that if a child is old enough to read, he or she is old enough to masturbate.
 
What I'm more concerned about is how they would manage their emotional capacity at this young age when they commit themselves into sexual behavior. The birds and bees is an easy concept to grasp, but the mental and spiritual side of this is what I worry about for their well being. What makes it worse is that most parents are not willing to discuss the subject of sex with their teenage children which leaves them isolated in the process understanding of what sex means to them.
 
Sex is a wonderful thing. Between two loving people.

But teens do not have the mentality to understand it as a whole. Even some adults do not understand it.

They just know it feels good.

So I am not truly understanding the point that the school and pamplet is giving out. I would love to see its contents.

Kids will experiment regardless. So better to be educated about protection and prevention.
 
Where is my right to 1 orgasm a day? I work full time and a full time mommy so my time to relax is sarce....where is MY RIGHT???? :lol:

That is what I exactly thought when I first read the article. I can understand that having sex is healthy but I think this approach is wrong to teach these teenagers.

I am wonderin' WHY they want to tell school children of their "right" to "an orgasm a day" ? Why TELL them ? I am seein' people feed their kids more and more "dirty" ( polluted ) into their minds.

America is gettin' bad polluted than before. I mean, it's gettin' worse! :eek3:

Actually, This article is based in UK. It isn't in America.

But, I do understand your point. It's not exactly feeding their kids to have "dirty" mind. Their approach is that they believe by teaching them to have a right to an orgasm is healthy but also to do it safely. I personally think it is sending a lot of conflicting messages when there were plenty of lectures about having condoms, abstinence, birth control pills, and the likes of that over the years.
 
Is this a way for them to encourage masturbating or something?? Or encourage them to stop if they are having bad sex (no orgasms, although that's kinda rare for a guy....)?

Giving them more options to vent their sexual pressure I'd say.

Yes but.... by what means? sex? oral sex? mutual masturbation? self masturbation? Erotic asphyxiation?

There are so many ways! Some are still not safe sex.
