Teenagers and sexual education during the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond

Teenagers And Sexual Education During The Covid 19 Pandemic And Beyond
Share

Written by Lucy Guan, Master of Public Health Student at Columbia University with interest in sexuality and reproductive health.

Integrated sexual education and conversations with adolescents about sexual pleasure and intimacy are even more important during and after the Covid-19 pandemic than before, especially as returning to a new normal can be approached. Normally, teenage years are characterized by independence, social pressure and interest in relationships and sexual intimacy. Throughout the pandemic, adolescents have experienced restrictions on their ability to explore connections and mix with their peers. Their social connections have been deeply influenced by home -based orders and the closure of schools around the world.

As they come out of a period of their lives defined by virtual interactions and the time they have been devoted to on its own, teenagers may feel that they will do for the lost time. Stay at home and parents close prevented some teenagers from working together with sex. It is not surprising, they have used more digital communicationIncluding romantic and sexual interactions through online talks through social media, sexting and other online activities. As most countries relax from lock, teenagers can now expect to spend more time at school with their peers.

When it comes to sex and relationships, regardless of the ongoing pandemic, teenagers should be equipped with a sense of service, not only to know how to have safe sex, but how to have a positive experience and how to talk comfortably about it. Asking consent or ask about a partner’s sexual story, though not easy, they are relatively simple ideas. What happens afterwards is more complicated. Unlike how to properly use a condom, there are no step -by -step instructions on how to browse sexual emotions. Now is the time to encourage young people to feel authorized to explore their sexuality, as the pandemic has introduced new challenges that will probably remain for some time.

A broad sexual education for adolescents can mean integrating sexual pleasure into existing issues. What if, when we talk about consent, we extend the debate to the importance of communicating the boundaries, embracing equal cooperation in sexual acts or even talking to a partner what he feels well and what is not? What if we talk about safe sex, we discuss how the use of a condom should not be at the expense of pleasure? Sexual education without the discussion of pleasure maintains a gap that teenagers are allowed to explore blindly on their own. As we dive into their first sexual encounters, they may find themselves unprepared to browse the complexities of relationships and sexual intimacy.

Given the pandemic, the official school -based sexual education has migrated to the virtual class for many students. THE The curriculum still focuses on a large extent About abstinence, contraceptives, STDs and consent, leaving little room for discussion of sexual pleasure. Frank’s discussions about pleasure, desire and passion with students can be uncomfortable, especially as teachers know that parents can hear alongside their students’ computer screens. Given this overwhelming responsibility, we can never expect the complete extent of understanding sex at an early age to boil down only in a few classes in the classroom, virtual or otherwise.

It is not surprising that teenagers are left with questions and curiosity, turning to naive speculations between friends and Google searches. In addition to formal sexual education, they receive a significant amount of information from friends, partners, family, television and movies, music and electronic media.

Teenagers may turn to sexually explicit media, which undoubtedly shape their views on sexual expectations, gender rules and intimacy. This report can have positive and negative influences. Without boundaries or filters for newer audiences, unobtrusive media can depict problematic and unrealistic images about sexual behavior and sexual pleasure. It can also encourage adolescents to see sexual activity through someone else’s lens, as opposed to their emotions and desires. A study by Herbenick, et al. published in the journal of sexual medicine found significant correlations between the use of pornography and specific sexual behaviors. On the other hand, sexual media can allow young people to explore their sexuality privately and safely.

This emphasizes the importance of adolescents to think and understand the sexuals in which they are constantly exposed. Along with sexual pleasure, this is an aspect of sexual education, formal or otherwise, which must be at the forefront of adolescents, as the increased screen time and exposure to online sexual media will continue to shape their perceptions of sex and intimacy even after. With increasing emphasis on safe sex, healthy relationships and consent, sexual education begins to meet modern demands. These steps, however, must continue with the inclusion of sexual pleasure and education of sexual media. This should not mean that other basic issues must necessarily be pushed to the region. As adolescent health approaches will be adapted after the impact of the pandemic, these valuable aspects of sexual health and education cannot be ignored.

The transition to the normal life of adolescents will be provocative in unpredictable ways, as the restrictions associated with COVID and social removal protocols begin to facilitate some parts of the world. As they facilitate return to school and socialization with their peers, letting teenagers understand it on their own. Failure to normalize sexual pleasure reduces the complex reality of sex and intimacy. These conversations should validate the wide range of sexual experiences that teenagers can have and recognize the roles of culture, gender identity and sexual diversity in informing these personal experiences. Efforts to support adolescent sexual and reproductive health must recognize the broader impact that the pandemic had on their ability to positively experience their sexuality and to participate in close relationships.

The pandemic has changed not only adolescents’ familiar relationships, sexual activity and sexual education, but also their access and use of sexual and reproductive health services, such as contraceptives and projections and STI treatment and the effects of these changes. As people continue to overcome the unprecedented crisis of public health, sexual education that smooths the pleasure, intimacy and sexual diversity is still essential for adolescent well -being.
