Well its about friggin' time. I taught at a Korean high school and I can tell you that kids are having sex in korea, lots of it. I predict a huge teen pregnancy explosion in the next few years. My high school girls told me their favorite show to watch was Sex and the City, I damn near fell off the chair!

Korea now is much like Canada was in the 70s, where we watched a grainy film on sex-ed in grade six once (the one with fuzzy bunny!), and that was about it.
Koreans will have to update their sex education, and we can expect a lot of kicking and screaming from older principals saying that no way will we adopt decadent western morals, but it will happen. It needs to happen; when I taught high school in Canada I had a fifteen-year old student who used to leave early to pick up her daughter from daycare; it will be the case here eventually as well.

| I don't watch Korean TV, but while riding the subway lately, on those tvs they have on some lines, I have been seeing a lot of ads promoting condom usage. They say something to the effect of "Condoms can help prevent AIDS and STDs". It's good to see those commercials, but interestingly, they don't mention pregnancy. |

I am not suggesting for a moment that this is so. But it will be depicted as such: "Before these immoral western behaviors infected our society, no Korean ever had sex before or outside of marriage. Therefore sex education should not be taught because it is another pernicious western influence."
The best case scenario we're likely to get is the essential physical mechanics will be shown, and there will be no kind of lifestyle / responsible sexuality component. If we are waiting for class discussions on sexual behavior or alternative sexual lifestyles, we are likely holding our breath, for this generation at least. The church in Korea will not help. I know I might surprise a few people on this forum saying that. But I think students are better off being informed at school rather than the internet, and so I favor a course on these adult issues such as some Canadian school systems offer.

Thank you. Of course the real point here is that no modern nation teaches anything like real sex education. When such classes have as their basis the idea sex is not shameful but that it does have its responibilities, then we will have what can be called "sex education." Until then, it's really just damage control. |

| Yes, there is still a huge amount of shame around sex even now, and it's destructive in so many ways. I blame fundamentalist religion for that. |

Is that supposed to be "embracing" or "embarrassing?" |

| Those stats are rather ludicrous. Most countries simply dont report accurately (or at all) that kind of data. Unless you really believe SK performs less then 559 abortions a year. If that is the case, then I guess I know a significant percent of those that have had them. |

| Yeah the stats on abortion are LIES. Korea used to have the highest % in the developed world and I suspect its still relitively high, I have personally met at least one korean woman that has had one and talks about it openly so I can only imagine the true number. And China didn't even make the friggin list. That source is pure bollocks. |
