Fair Play

before anything else

Welcome to Sei's Sex Education!

Hi! I decided to write this dahil alam kong kahit ilang beses akong mag-warning sa mga minors, alam kong babasahin pa rin nila ito (But please! Read this epistolary responsibly and with caution). So, I might as well teach you guys about sex education.

Hindi masyadong tinuturo sa school ang sex education dahil sa deeply rooted tradition/beliefs/culture natin. Kahit sa bahay, hindi masyadong napag-uusapan ang mga ganitong bagay. Kasi nga masyado tayong conservative. Still, I'm glad na unti-unting namumulat ang kabataan sa sex education.

Please take time to read this kahit mahaba. (mahaba???) wag niyo i-skip please sayang effort ko.

Ano nga ba ang Sex Education?

Sex education is high quality teaching and learning about a broad variety of topics related to sex and sexuality. It explores values and beliefs about those topics and helps people gain the skills that are needed to navigate relationships with self, partners, and community, and manage one's own sexual health. (PlannedParenthood, n.d.). In short, through sex educations, it helps us gain knowledge about topics like sex and sexuality in general. Tinutulungan din tayo nitong gumawa ng responsableng decision tungkol sa ating sexual health and behavior.

Bakit mahalaga ang Sex Education? Para mabawasan ang mga unwanted pregnancies, teenage pregnancies maiwasan ang pagkalat ng STDs, etc.

Maraming kabataan ngayon ang nag-e-engage sa unprotected sex. Hindi kasi sila aware sa sex education. Minsan nahihiya pa silang bumili ng condom sa pharmacies, or convenience stores. Na hindi naman dapat. Normal lang yun mga mhie! At least marunong silang gumamit ng protection.

Disclaimer: Hindi ko sinusuportahan ang sex between minors at teenage pregnancy. Gusto ko lang maging informed kayo about this. Hindi lang tayo puro kalat, okay?

Masyadong malawak ang sex ed, so I'll just cover some topics.

Things to keep in mind before your "first time"

Having sex for the first time can be nerve-wracking. And that's normal! So here's a few things you need to keep in mind before your first time. (List from Silvia from PlannedProtection.)

1. Consent and Honest Communication

Tinatanong pa ba ito? Everything should be done with consent. Bago niyo gawin yun deed, kailangan sure kayo sa ginagawa niyo. Dapat nasa tamang pag-iisip ka before niyo gawin iyon. Dahil kung walang consent, rape na ang tawag doon. Kahit na kasal kayo, kung walang consent, rape pa rin iyon. Iyon ang tinatawag nating marital rape.

After giving consent, it is important to have an honest communication with your partner or someone you're going to have sex with. Tell him/her about what you want, what you dislike, what you feel, kung saan ka comfortable, anything. Hindi mind-reader ang partner mo.

2. Remember that the media gives us expectations about sex that are actually not very realistic.
Hindi lahat ng nababasa at napapanood natin ay totoo! Do not expect a hot, steamy, and sloppy sex during your first time.

Your first time might be more awkward and less sexy than you thought it would be, and that's totally normal. Talking about what you're expecting can help both of you feel more comfortable during an experience as intimate as this one (Silvia, 2024).
