Quoted from above article:
“There are television programs and films about giving up one’s virginity and having sex which are screened when families gather together, like at 8.00 in the evening.”
And;
“What was to be done? Tatti recommended improving communication within families and giving children confidence in themselves by involving them in decision making.”
Perfect! So problem solved, parents can educate their children while watching TV that includes these issues, government can concentrate on more pressing issues now.
Why didnt anyone think of sexual education in, let’s say, high schools?
It’s not as if sexuality education has no link to pornography…
Hold there for a second Dr Risman Musa.
It should not come as any surprise to you just how much Indonesian children know about sex. I am talking about the vast majority of Indonesian children and not specifically Indonesian children who are blessed with enough daily stipend to browse the internet at cyber cafes or to purchase sex whatever.
So, do not talk about morality amongst Indonesian children like a horse with blinders on.
