SEX ESCAPADE

INTRODUCTION

Sex is a topic that many people like to discuss especially the youths in Secondary and Tertiary institutions of learning. There is nothing bad in discussing sex but not discussing theoretically and thereafter putting into practice those issues discussed about sex.

Parents are admonished to discuss sex and sex matters at home to avoid snenarios where their wards discuss that with their peers or gangs. Why it is important to discuss it at home is because peer groups may deceive them and lure them into deviant sexual behaviours such as lesbianism, homosexualism, leading to anal and oral sex. And when a child grows with this unwanted sexual relationship, he will be condemned by the society and such may tarnish the image of the child and his family.
