'Mutual consent'. Heard of it?

The first thing that comes to my mind on hearing about sex education is how important it is for everyone to develop an understanding of it. With rape cases growing day by day, it is our responsibility to teach young children and adolescents. Sex education is something which schools should start teaching to students. Talking openly about this is needed. It not only informs us about sexuality and desire but also personal identity and relationships.

The most common I have witnessed is the lack of communication between parents and their children in regard to sex-education. Most parents think that educating children about sex will practically ruin them as they are still too young to know about it. 

To be honest, as we still are not educated enough about sex education, I still don’t know many things I know that it's consensual. Which is a MAJOR problem everwhere. ('MAJOR', is an understatement). No one can force anyone into it. It should be safe and take into consideration one's personal hygiene.
