Chapter 1:The War on Embarrassment

Wendy Shalit assumes that early sexual education program vulgarizes the notion of sex among children. Thus, children become sexually active when they cannot assume all the responsibilities it implies. The author tries to show us that sexual education programs alienate children from the natural established way things are suppose to be; and have led to unselfconciousness toward sex.
As for me, I think that it is an over-simplified explanation to the evolution of sexual behaviors through the last three decades. Sexual education programs might be somehow involved in the ways people approaches sex nowadays, but we have to underline that there is a lot of other factors that influence an individual. The first socializing agent remains family, and before school it is within one's family that he/she acquire a certain amount of values, "norms", and ideology. So it seems like accusing sexual education programs can be questioned.
yaye.
