Sex Ed. First Aid Kit
1. The World Health Organization advocates teaching sex education to children as young as 4.
A report released by the World Health Organization in Europe argues that because children aware of their sexuality from birth, it’s important for parents and educators to answer their questions as soon as they asked. The report says, When the children become 4, parents become more secretive about sexuality. And that is the time when kids turn to peers for answers, which oftentimes the wrong ones.
2. Teens get most of their sex education online, and it's not accurate.
The online websites teens turn to often have inaccurate sexual health information. For an example, of 177 sexual health websites examined in a 2010 study by the Journal of Adolescent Health, 46 percent of those addressing contraception and 35 percent of those addressing abortion contained inaccurate information.

4. “Abstinence only” sex education may increase teen pregnancy
There are two types of sex education. Abstinence-only sex education is a form of sex education that teaches not having sex outside of marriage. Another type is comprehensive sex education, which includes age-appropriate, medically accurate information on a broad set of topics related to sexuality.

5. Why Women Pee After Sex
When we have intercourse, the penetration allows some of the bacteria get into the urethra. Since women have shorter urethras compared to men, so it’s easier for the bacteria to get into the bladder. It will cause urinary tract infection (UTI), which can be painful and inflammation.
Peeing after sex can help prevent the spread of fecal bacteria to the bladder. Also, partners should avoid switching to vaginal intercourse right after anal.
