As porn increases, so does the need for sex education
Surely this is a continuation of the escalating pressure of expatriate gays, lesbians and paedophiles to push their agenda in to schools. Please click:
CURRICULUM IN MASSACHUSETTS
The writer Werner Cohill is either a willing participant or a naive dupe.
The editor of PNG Attitude has to be more discerning about what goes on his blog.
Gay and lesbian strategy is to ignore parents and strong families and to see children as free individuals.
Family is to be completely excluded from the equation. Sex education is to be totally in the hands of teachers.
Sadly for gays and lesbians, thousands of teachers in this country will refuse to bring pornography into the classroom.
Cohill ignores the Personal Development education at present in PNG schools from grades 6-12. He wants more. Please click:
FAMILY TEACHING IN PRIMARY SCHOOL
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR GRADE 8
WORK PROGRAM FOR GRADE 10
But that is not enough. What ever lustful and depraved filth is on internet should also go into school curriculum.
Internet pornography is very basic and very vulgar.
Linking curriculum to porn is the instant thin edge of the wedge. It will push out family values and morality.
The report below seems professional and logical. But it is a bag of snakes. It opens the door to foreign gays and lesbians.
Internet porn is about naked bodies, women lying with legs apart, women sucking penises and men engaged in oral and anal sex.
An internet report on sex with dogs will have to go into school curriculum too.
Surely distribution of pornography is a criminal offence. Will teachers direct students to open their mobile phones on porn sites?
Today, boys and girls, we will learn about anal sex with dogs.
Let us not leave it at that. All the latest techniques of internet bomb making should be taught in Moslem schools.
Girls should be taught the latest on prostitution. Strip tease in nightclubs is vital career knowledge.
This is a spurious argument loaded with intended or unintended hidden agenda against family.
It was posted by one Werner Cohill who works on some PNG parliamentary committee.
Let us hope he is an innocent dupe. He should not praise the first Director of the National AIDS Council, Dr Malau, the resident Uncle Tom.
He was a doctor opposed to Positive Living on behalf of the corrupt and gay and lesbian Australian company Burnet.
He left his job as Health Secretary under a cloud.
He was defended by the editor of PNG Attitude Keith Jackson and admired by Werner Cohill.
The response of readers to the report below is measured by the lack of response.
Only response was from someone from Divine Word University, cradle of homosexuality.

As porn increases, so does the need for sex education
SOME YEARS BACK there was an advertisement on EMTV about awareness of condoms. A doctor appeared during commercial breaks and spoke explicitly about safe sex through their use.
While watching the popular CHM Making Music program each Thursday evening, or during Friday night football, commercial breaks were switched off by many people to avoid viewing this advertisement.
Quite recently, it was reported in one of daily newspaper that a student from a named primary school in the nation’s capital was suspended from classes. He was caught by his teacher watching porn during class time on his mobile phone.
These two cases exemplify how important sex education is for our young people. It is imperative that they receive such education. in the long run, its absence is not good for their health and physical well-being.
There was huge public resentment towards the condom ad. Concerned people were in total disagreement as they thought it was morally and religiously wrong for it to be viewed by children.
The newspapers and the local radio stations became the venting forums for people to express their frustration, make known their views and opine on the effects this advertisement would have on the young people.
Fortunately the doctor was not harmed but the gossiping world disliked him.
He proved critics wrong by representing PNG in international engagements, notably in Timor Leste and becoming PNG’s top health administrator. I admire him to this day.
As for the latter ,there were no public commentaries on the general conduct of young people accessing pornography.
The debate on whether it is worth having sex education in primary schools has never been had at length. Obviously the age factor has limited advocacy.
My argument is not to teach students about sex alone, but rather broaden their mindsets about the dangers, what they need to know, and how to deal with issues.
When the topic of sex education pops up in discussion on the streets, at school and among peers, the obvious topic is about sexual pleasures or encounters.
But there is more to the topic than this shallow and immature understanding.
The definition of sex education refers to teaching about the different sexes, the relationships between opposite sexes, the importance of sex, the reproductive system and related issues and challenges.
According to Dr Babatunde Osotimehin, the executive director of the UN Population Fund, sex education is like teaching people how to drive by telling them in detail what is under the bonnet, how the bits work, how to maintain them safely to avoid accidents, what the controls do and when to go on the road. It is all about the mechanics.
Sex education is part of young people’s educational upbringing in many western countries, including Australia.
This was evident during Insight on SBS Television’ recently, where an audience of mostly teenagers were asked about how influential pornography was and is in their lives.
Some of them admitted watching porn as early as eleven years old. They claimed to have received more information from such stuff than being taught by their parents or at school.
Having been brought up in societies where traditional beliefs and value systems have a strong influence on growth and development, sex and its entire doings are a tabu for us, especially the young ones.
Coupled with this are strong religious beliefs and church practices. These are the principle challenges, forbidding parents from providing a profound understanding about sex to the young ones.
As the world is changing, people’s behaviour and conception of sex is changing. A wave of pornography is hitting our shores and pushing the social and biblical walls of relationships and marriages, the essence of love and respect, wide open.
Pornography is readily available in this country; five years ago it was restricted to those who ventured abroad.
Also the social mores and behaviour cycles of young people have greatly changed. The spread of pandemic diseases, like HIV/AIDS, and issues like prostitution, human smuggling and drug trafficking top the list of social concerns about young people.
The young become victims of the ever growing gap between the developed and the developing world.
This raises serious issues about the lack of sex education in primary schools. The absence is negligent of the outcomes for young people: unwanted pregnancies; prostitution; incest; under-age sex are.
There is an important issue of internet accessibility and the dissemination of sex information. Having access to the internet has shifted from cafes to the palms of our hands.
The mobile phone has made surfing more convenient and it takes less time. You have access to it wherever you are.
With little or no control over which sites are restricted and which are not, young people find themselves having access to everything. Males access sites about females and females do the opposite.
The sites most frequently visited are porn sites and the lust for this becomes a secret mission for young people.
The children of this generation are more open-minded about both material and non-material stuff. Let me put it this way, the ability of a 13-year old to grasp ideas is much different from someone of that age 10 years ago.
Non-material stuff like romance and love, relationships and marriage, and sex may seem less important to us as adults, but they are priority agendas for young people.
The young of this generation take for granted relationships, marriages and sex. However, they lack the basic information about the essentials and core of this stuff.
Sadly for them, the consequences are often unknown, especially young girls who do not seem to foresee their future after pregnancy.
The argument about the incompatibility of sex education with primary schooling should be a thing of the past. Sex education should be understood as an important part of a child’s growth and development.
Government needs to make available comprehensive sex education as well as confidential sexual and reproductive health services that will help young people to make responsible choices regarding their sexuality.

This serious problem is growing and spreading like bush inferno across this anti-porn christian country of ours.
I am on eve of writing on the issue regarding Bougainvillean cultural values against some 'Bougainvillean porn stars' soon.
Good expository writing.
