at the very outset, my humble apologies to anil for including his name in the list of anti-sex education supporters, which i did deliberately, cos concurring to some one's views w/o substantiation [:p] can put you in bad light. i knew for sure that a person of your stature cannot be a testimony to such a lame and sleepy reasoning. []
secondly, while appreciating every one's point of you I am glad to see that the topic out here is worth discussing as seen by the participation by many worthy members. a special thanks to dev sir, for his very sensible thoughts, as I request other senior members to share there view, cos their participation and experience on the subject can put the things in better perspective. (ooops is that my format of writing... i guess it is !!! [] as i transcend further towards the prakashit state of mind [:D]
@ rupendera, since you have quoted me, i'm obliged to answer you, but i guess anil has very explicitly answered to your queries. I now request you to give sense to the challenge that you have accepted.

@ topic... let me clarify my stand, before i proceed any further... if you read my 1st post carefully, you'll realize that i've only mentioned about SEX EDUCATION, which as per me can come from father to son, mother to daughter, or combination of both. It can also come from preachers to pupils, teachers in school through proper lessons or from any other appropriate source. (we can surely discuss the sources) i never said that this should be made compulsory in schools as a separate entity, where-in you forget all other educational subjects and curriculum and keep your focus only and only on SEX EDUCATION. i guess, this would help many out here, to come out of the euphoria of the very word "SEX EDUCATION". i have observed that the people have a prejudice regarding sex education and feels that sex education is a way of enticing or encouraging young children in to having a sexual relationship. In fact it is necessary for young children aged 11 and above to know about the biological aspect of sex and understand the human physiological body. (more on this later)
shweta has very rightly said that... "All subjects somewhere requires a human touch to be taught and so is the case with this !" and so is my stand on the subject, as addressed above. anil says that there (may or) may not be a lot to study on the subject and few lessons per week could serve the purpose. I too, would safely agree to his point of view. dev sir has very rightly said that... "Girls in particular need more inputs as lot gets at stake in their case....atleast till today." this forces me to request the female members to come out of their inhibitions and share their worthy views.
The big question now comes is whether to impart this education to our youngsters or not. If yes, then how and at what stage, if not then why not ? its implications and other associated issues. we can surely discuss this to be implemented in schools or not. however i would request the members to put forth their viewpoints as to how this should be imparted. i would also welcome other suggestions, that have skipped my attention and are worthy to be discussed. the idea of talking about kaamsutra, opening maternity wards in school is totally absurd and shows hollow mindset.
looking at the complexity of the topic, i request all the members not to drag the issue out of proportion, and show some sense and restraint while commenting. (me saying these words :D)
p.s. : as per my views, it would be appreciated if a precedence is established for a member to reply, if he has been quoted and the question is prudent. members may have different views on this but i observed that at times the person feels neglected and stupid, when his reasoning is not answered.
