"Young people have a right to reproductive health services and information in this regard. Studies have repeatedly shown that education on sexuality and education does not increase irresponsible behaviors. On the contrary, help young people to make healthy and responsible decisions"
Thoraya Obaid, Managing Director of UNFPA. World population day, 2003
Actually, everyone has the right and the personal obligation to educate themselves in regard to their sexuality and their sexuality… Sexual ignorance is the perfect fuel for the acquisition and dissemination of diseases STDs, unwanted pregnancies, suspension of education, under cultural and socio-economic level, prostitution, domestic violence and early death .
Even though sexual mistakes are correctable in the vast majority of cases sometimes lead to the unjustified and premature end of life.
The first time I attended a talk on sex education was in 1985, in one of the first conferences on HIV/AIDS in Venezuela, there were big exhibitors, and precisely, who drew the most attention was a specialist who was against sex education; their arguments were valid and gave much to think and discuss: was inducing young people to hold sex making them see as something very natural and available in an irresponsible manner from an early age. In fact referred to the sex education taught by staff without preparation and that in his opinion, and according to his remarks, leading to facilitate and even induce irresponsible teenage sexuality. Times have changed and the advertising bombardment of eroticism and pornography voluntarily or intrusive, it is imperative to use all means possible to reach the best information as much as possible of the population, adapting its content of According to the particular characteristics of each of them.
This article exclusively deal with sex education in women and a somewhat unusual approach, we won't talk about sex education per se, but educaré a little about each of the many stages of the female sexuality. So, this article, so yes, education and sexual orientation.
Child and adolescent sexuality
This particular and susceptible group includes the girl and the immature female from every point of view.
It is clear that girls may not engage in sexual activities and when this happens usually it's abuse children and commonly due to a close relative or legal representative. This is a serious problem of poor and underserved communities. And overall sexual education (and the serious penalties for paedophilia) should be directed to the offenders and not to the victim can point at who only to report suspicious situations.
Teenager or nubile female the case is easier but not least, what you have in body and behavior of women is taken into immaturity, sexual inexperience and dependence in the presence of a sexual momentum almost unstoppable and willing to the exploration.
Is in this town where should be the best and greatest efforts into education, women inevitably begin their sexuality in a short time and should be educated about the major problems of sexuality: pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases unwanted teen
And their side effects: educational neglect, use and abuse of alcohol, drug addiction, marginalisation, prostitution and domestic violence, among others.
As a group, the misfortune is that only women involved in schooling, a closed niche, are likely to receive guidance, outside the system, most vulnerable and deprived women, never receives it. It's so orientation should permeate classrooms and equip in the community to expand the spectrum of influence.
Our primary goal is to prevent teen pregnancy already in our experience and supported by recent studies (Human Reproduction, July 7, 2016, Is Underage Abortion Associated with Adverse Outcomes in Early Adulthood?) A Longitudinal Birth Cohort Study up to 25 Years of Age, by Suvi Leppälahti, et to the.) We know that teen pregnancy is the first step to marginality, interrupting school, socio-economic dependency, drug addiction and repetition of the pattern in the offspring, a problem that expands exponentially and that explains part of the problem and genesis of failed developing or underdeveloped countries.
The most feared regarding communicable diseases is HIV/AIDS, not only for the potential death and chronic daily use of medication expensive and inaccessible to many, but by stigma, isolation and open and underhand discrimination towards those who suffer .
The common diseases are easy to treat but cause loss of man-hours of work, costs for the person and the health care system, complications acute medical-surgical sequelae such as infertility and pelvic inflammatory disease.
Sexuality in women of reproductive age
We include in this group women 18 to 45 years, covers the longest period and active (at least in regards to the frequency and sexual variety) on the sexuality of women.
With maturity comes the prudence, however ignorance is the mother of all problems, and often beat prudence. In this large group problems are associated with unwanted pregnancy and communicable diseases, but in an adult organism and with relative independence personal and socio-economic problems itself do not have so many sequels, do not alter the prognosis in such a degree of life when compared with the previous group. The problem may occur for offspring in the form of injuries during life in-utero, prematurity and abuse during postnatal life.
Sexuality in pregnant women
In the first prenatal consultation must rule out common infections of the female genital tract, some of sexual transmission, because of the relationship with abortions, early loss of pregnancy, prematurity, and neonatal consequences by prematurity. so, is our respnonsabilidad to detect unusual, promiscuous and risky sexual behaviors that could conducri to obstetrical complications
During pregnancy we tried to guide the couple about the safety of intercourse and avoid situations or dangerous behaviors. Occasionally, the sexuality is contraindicated.
This article so widely developed in www.maternofetal.net, my site about the pregnancy.
Sexuality in post reproductive women
These women, thanks to the publicity, have been found have left behind their personal misfortunes have met with thousands of women on an equal footing, have determined that life doesn't end by the absence of menstrual and disabling symptoms, and have for assistance and they have been hatched, they have begun a new life or they retook much of what had been left behind. They have become productive in his mature years, reunited their sexuality and their virtues and their ability to solve problems.
The sexuality of the elderly woman, the Renaissance: maturity, stability, without responsibilities of parenting and pregnancy by mistake.
Considerations
Sexuality is a fundamental part of human life, when this is affected is generated a clear impairment in quality of life. Sexuality is not exclusively young people.
The evidence suggests that sexual desire persists until advanced age but is often assumed as something "bad".
The consciousness of the body appearance, lack of availability of sexual partners, social stigma and chronic diseases limit significantly the interest and sexual response in the elderly woman.
There are differences between men and women with regard to brain and genital responses with respect to sexual desire. Young people are more motivated to genital sex while the girls looking for an emotional connection as a precursor to sexual contact.
Although the feelings and thoughts are important in both sexes lack of subjective arousal in women leads to loss of interest in sex, negative emotions on the relationship of time plays a very important role in the lack of desire.
It is interesting that in men the removal of sexual desire has an unconscious component related to family dynamics during infancy.
The commitment of its elements is essential to achieve success in a couple of sex therapy.
