Family Life Education
consists of all aspects of sexuality that includes a wholesome person in a
wholesome family environment making up a relevant unit of the society.
Some things in life
are optional while some are not; For instance:
Wearing shoes is
optional. While eating is not.
Driving a car is
optional. But once you choose the driving option, driving on the right side of
the road (here in Nigeria) is not.
Expressing positive
sexual behaviors is optional. But once you decide not to express positive
sexual behaviors it is no longer optional.
That is not to say
that these things are impossible. You can choose to go without eating, but if
you do, you must be ready to exist at low energy level, to invite infection and
disease, and, if you continue, you will die.
Similarly, you can
choose to drive on the left side of the road in Nigeria but doing so, you will
cause accidents, get arrested, and pay fines.
And you can reject
expressing positive sexuality and even refuse to make right choices and reject
the safer sex option. But when the surge of the chemicals (hormones) in your
blood becomes overwhelming;
You will find
yourself succumbing to sexual act with people you would not have ever thought
you could share such relationship with;
You will end up
regretting your unhealthy choices. For example, if you contract very bad
sexually transmitted infections, and diseases that may result in life long
period of regret. Your progress in life could be impeded, for the female
teenager she may become a parent at an unprepared period.
Some adolescents and
even young people are not making positive choices because of misinformation,
half-truths and untruths they have learned from movies, peers, television
program, the internet, educators, and even parents.
Some married couples
are not enjoying their relationship because of sexual dysfunction in either of
them or even in both of them. Many couples suffer in silence until the marriage
breaks up.
Even some older
adults live a life of unhappiness, loneliness, isolation and grief as a result
of sexual dysfunction that has not been well managed. Some even die prematurely
from preventable sexually related issues. You no longer have to suffer in
silence, seek professional counsel which is available on demand in this blog.
