Comments on: How the BBC Killed a Nation’s Sex Drive http://popvultures.com/2008/02/14/how-the-bbc-killed-a-nations-sex-drive/ Sat, 30 Jan 2010 19:28:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Fiona http://popvultures.com/2008/02/14/how-the-bbc-killed-a-nations-sex-drive/comment-page-1/#comment-3759 Fiona Wed, 19 Aug 2009 17:34:07 +0000 http://popvultures.com/2008/02/14/how-the-bbc-killed-a-nations-sex-drive/#comment-3759 This description of this programme is hugely exaggerated. I have seen the programme, and it is really to open up the possibility of parents and children having better communication regarding sexual issues. Communication about sex in families is necessary so that kids can talk to their folks in case anything is the matter, and for parents to dare (yes, parents in the UK seem to have problems with their courage sometimes) to provide their children with proper sexual education. Since 2001 the UK has the highest rate of teenage pregnancies! I must admit that some homework exercises in this programme might seem a quite weird, but it is really to be taken with a laugh, also by the families themselves, and is just to get people to loosen up a bit about this subject, which is a great start to a better social network for kids to learn about sexual issues. Any parent who (of which many are not even aware) has a young teenager at home who has been struggling on their own, making bad choices, making a young schoolmate pregnant, or incurring sexual diseases, must agree that these programmes, though slightly forthcoming, are here for a great cause. By the way, I am setting up a project to take place on the 21st of October in a secondary school for improving sexual educational conversation between parents and their children, hopefully preventing many kids from an unfortunate future.

The description alone has left me horrified. Anything like this is just a form of torture for me. Why is this seen as a good idea? Can’t do it. The description alone has left me horrified.
