When I was younger, the word "sex" to me was the central set of back-to-back advertisements, Qingdao Shuangdie in my parents' bedside table, swimsuit calendars on the wall, and "the leader and the army" on the cheap bookstand. prostitute".
Afterwards, there are all the notes with the word "yin" in the "Xinhua Dictionary", the word "young woman" in the cover of "Zhiyin", the spider spirit in "Journey to the West", the "cloud and rain" and "in A Dream of Red Mansions" Big move".
In any case, it is not the biology textbook for the seventh grade. The teacher vaguely said that we should study the chapter on our own.
Perhaps because of this, until college, there were still boys in the class who thought that menstruation was blue.
So, God knows how jealous I am of the adolescent students in the British drama "Sex Study Room" ——
They take a class on physiological hygiene and learn how to use condoms.
The principal gave a speech in the auditorium, and the content was the meaning of sanitary napkins.
When the teenager woke up from a spring dream, his mother said "congratulations." The girl went to the hospital for an abortion, but she didn't get any eyes or spurned.
And what moved me most was the few seconds that were not very noticeable-the girl was lying in the bed, and the doctor routinely asked: " How many partners do you have now, is the partner a male or a female? "
Somehow, this is the most common sentence heard by Westerners, but it makes me feel warm and at ease.
I was so warm that I could cry, I just wanted to get up and bowed deeply to the screenwriter, saying that in terms of sex education, I was absent from class. I'm sorry.
In 1913, the world's first physiological hygiene class was born.
It's Chicago, day and night, where a female teacher named Ella Flagg Young offers courses for a public school. The content includes discussions on gender relations and contraception. Students range from junior high school to high school.
At that time, the teacher was 32 years old, but had 15 years of teaching experience. Considering the limitations of the campus, she even ran to the square to distribute flyers about sex education.
It can be considered that this concept has emerged, and it has become popular in a small area, making the United States far ahead of the world in terms of physical health.
It didn't take long for the Catholic Church to conjure up an unwarranted charge, and united with the school to force Ella Flagg Young to resign. In cities where STDs are raging utterly, there are so-learned children next to livestock and farms.
This directly led to the enlistment of a large number of young people who were physically strong, energetic and had zero awareness of hygiene during the First World War . In private, I just vented my fire for a while, and I didn't know that I had syphilis or gonorrhea.
And the United States is a country that doesn't know how to distribute condoms to soldiers.
So in 1914, at the invitation of his military, director Tom Ricketts made the world's first sex education film [Damaged Goods] .
Once it was screened, it was highly praised. Some media wrote: “It should be seen by all American boys and their bodies should be cleaner. ”
The British saw that the results were very good, and seeing that sexually transmitted diseases were rampant in their army, they also took a photo in 1918, and passed the "Chamberlain Act", agreeing to allocate funds to popularize sex education for soldiers.
Not only that, the instructors also showed the soldiers syphilis and gonorrhea organisms in the form of microscopic slides to make them more aware of the symptoms of the disease.
This has inspired the school's plan to incorporate it into the curriculum.
By the 1920s, 40% of high schools in the UK had offered sex education courses. The American Social Hygiene Association also cooperated with schools to teach students similar behaviors in animals, and pointed out in the report:
If students receive sex education in school, the future will get better.
After the outbreak of World War II, 18,000 people lost their combat effectiveness every day due to infections with venereal diseases . But in the first battle, the instructor taught the soldiers from the beginning: either don't do it, or fix a healthy object.
The military doctor even provided a large number of STD prevention kits, which included instructions, condoms, soap-soaked wipes and a tube of ointment containing 30% calomel and 15% sulfathiazole, just in case.
Even the matchboxes in the ration ration boxes are printed with the slogan "Beware of the hazards of STDs."
Not only that, the US military also requires massage rooms, nightclubs, etc., to cooperate with the Red Cross to receive examinations and treatments . Even setting up epidemic prevention stations nearby has enabled thousands of “employed” women to get rid of STDs.
As a result, in 1944, the number of sick soldiers in World War II dropped sharply from 18,000 to 606 per day, a 30-fold decrease overall.
After the war, the U.S. military was worried that the returning soldiers would infect their wives with venereal diseases, so they vigorously encouraged the use of condoms in advertisements and posters: Don’t forget, get in the condom before going in.
Soon, the government also joined the work of sex education and printed a series of sexual hygiene pamphlets and distributed them to the public. Not only did they point out how to prevent them, but also the corresponding measures after the unfortunate illness——
Having a healthy second child is the foundation of a man; to ensure health, you don’t have to do it all the time; sexually transmitted diseases will deprive you of happiness; once you are infected, please report it immediately, time equals life.
In the 1950s, the government also produced some sex education films to be screened in various states, such as [Growing Girls] and [With these weapons] .
In the 1960s, the sexual liberation movement broke out.
Condoms are widely used, not just as military supplies. The U.S. Department of Education allocates funds to universities and state schools for the training of sex education teachers and the development of related postgraduate courses.
AIDS was rampant in the 1980s, and other countries in the world, except the United States, immediately launched sex education to popularize sex education, and it was refined to states and counties.
But the Chinese are "absent from class".
In 1954, "Knowledge of Sex" , compiled by three doctors from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Wang Wenbin, Zhao Zhiyi, and Tan Mingxun, was published. The book included cross-sectional views of male and female organs in a happy state.
But when it was republished in 1957, these contents were deleted completely, and Zhao Zhiyi also committed suicide because he was falsely accused of being a "rogue scholar".
In 1971, according to an educated youth, during the military training, the squad leader once flew a plane. " There is one mistake recorded: regardless of the intense military training, he played with the crotch once in the grass in the small hills and depressions. "
The following year, the Ministry of Education compiled the second-year "Physiological Hygiene" textbook. When editing a certain lower body organ, the editor Ye Gongshao, "the editors discussed together, and half of them opposed writing this chapter."
In the same year, the "Xinhua Dictionary" no longer included any words related to it.
In 1979, the Angels went to China to visit an older generation of writers. When they met, they asked, "How come your Chinese works are not written?" An older writer replied, "We Chinese are not interested in this!"
Then he asked, "Then you have so many children in China, what's the matter?" He replied, " We do that like bitter medicine! "
Also this year, the fifth issue of "Popular Movies" published a still picture of the kiss between the male and female protagonists in [Crystal Shoes and Roses], which aroused the anger of a reader named "Ask Yingjie", who wrote a letter Questioning the editorial department:
What is your motivation for publishing this picture so prominently? What are you promoting? Where are you going to lead the youth of our country? Do you still have a Chinese conscience?
It's simply the world's biggest jealousy.
But no one would have thought that only before the 1950s, Chinese did not absent from school.
Tan Sitong, who was born in the late Qing Dynasty, hopes that some scholars can devote themselves to sex education, "drawing lists, do nothing more", so that people abandon the stereotypes and realize that "sex is a natural thing, and there is nothing to be ashamed of."
In 1929, the Ministry of Education required junior middle school textbooks to teach students "sexual developmental behaviors and responsibilities."
In the same year, scholar Zhang Jingsheng constantly affirmed in his "Sex History" that women have "the third kind of water".
You see, that was 1929, the same year that the US Department of Education issued sex education materials. However, due to various reasons later , it was not until 1993 that condoms were on the shelves for the first time as a commodity.
It is the first sex shop in China, and it has been surrounded by water, but no one is willing to step into it.
16 days after the opening, only one person walked in tremblingly, took out 9 yuan and 6 yuan from his pocket anxiously, and bought a box of condoms.
I can't blame Ma Xiaojun for blowing this as a balloon in [Sunny Day]; I can't blame Liu Feng in [Fanghua] for being labeled a "hooligan" because of a hug;
Even more can't complain about our comrade Jingqiu in [Love in the Hawthorn Tree], thinking that if a woman lay with a man, she would get a big belly.
Because of this “tradition” of treating ignorance as pure, today’s “14-year-old daughter’s early love opens her room and her father’s coccyx fracture”. Hangzhou Gaoqiao Elementary School was forced by parents to object to the “Sex Education Reader” with a healthy content. Withdrawal, a college in Xi'an required female students to fill out a promise card and swore to refuse pre-marital and extramarital sex.
Chinese people always think that to suppress problems is to solve them.
In Zhihu's question about "What should I do if college students get pregnant by accident", any answer will be a broken heart and a biting heart.
WCD big data also shows that more than 60% of young people in China are not aware of contraception, and 40% of them think that unintended pregnancy is unlikely, even though there are about 13 million abortions in China each year .
In 2018, Tenga also conducted a survey and found that only 48% of women in China have tried masturbation, ranking first in the world.
They are accustomed to depression, unable to soberly recognize and admit their desires, not knowing that pleasing themselves is also very important.
The initiator of all this is nothing more than the group of parents who have not received sex education, who use sex as a tool to intimidate their children. So that when children see the word "sex", they can only think of dirty, obscene and perverted.
But the gap between us and Western Europe is more than just physical hygiene.
[The same boat loves song] After the rain, the two men were surprised that they did not wear a condom. The first reaction was to call the government hotline and go to the hospital under the guidance of the emergency department. When they arrive, they can still enjoy priority access-we don't have such a hospital.
[Junuo] , a 16-year-old female student became pregnant without marriage. After her parents learned about it, they united to discuss countermeasures and share the pains and sorrows of early pregnancy for her. We don't have such a family.
In the British drama "Sex Study Room" , the girl tells her male classmate that she feels ashamed of masturbating. And the male classmate said, "What you should consider most is what your body likes."-Such a classmate, we don't have one.
In this same show, gay boys wear women's clothing in private, but they are accidentally bumped into by their father, thinking that there will be a bloody storm, but the father said seriously: If you are determined to live like this, you must be strong.
We don't have such a father.
That's why I was moved by the ordinary question from the obstetrician and gynecologist in the play.
Because in our country, no one will tell you that a partner can have the opposite sex and the same sex, and the family can be divided into single parenting, reorganization and adoption. Some children may have two fathers, and some children may have two mothers.
No matter which one is, it is normal.
So it's really shameful that the Chinese will always be absent from sex education. They were absent from class, but they thought it hadn't started.
