In United Kingdom, the National Health Service (NHS), a publicly funded health care system, is trying to change the approach in teaching teenagers sex education.
The conventional way of explaining the mechanics of sex , the responsibilities and the disease is out of fashion this days.
Hence, sex education is going to be taught on a different style -- focusing mainly on the pleasure and healthy living that sex promulgates. The NHS also released a pamphlet called "Pleasure" and devoted a whole section called "an orgasm a day" -- noting that masturbation and daily sex provides positive physical and emotional effects.
It also demonstrates and advocates the use of condom and other contraceptives.
Although the pamphlet received various criticisms from conservatives. There were also groups that welcome the new approach and saw it as a much effective style in teaching sex education, citing that the traditional approach covers so many irrelevant biological facts but short on the complex nature of human relationship.
However, the conservatives argue that the move will spark promiscuity among teens in a country which already has high statistics of teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
