Taboo word “SEX”



It’s quite interesting in India for girls till marriage sex is seen as taboo but immediately after marriage the biggest expectation that the in-laws have is to give a chirag to the family. Along with other change in role, the sexual role of a female also immediately changes. This change at time comes as a shock to the girl who was seen as good daughter of their parents before marriage. I surely don’t here mean that every girl should involve in sexual activities before marriage but I recommend that the taboo or a ban on girls to talk about their sexuality and sexual relationship needs to be removed. CBSE policies to introduce Sex education in school have given girls a platform to know about their sexuality and understand responsible sexual relationship from an authentic source. This will help our country to address various issues like Teenage pregnancy, STDs, AIDS, etc. It would teach the coming generation Responsible Sexual Relationships which would be emotionally and physically satisfying for the couple.
