Sex education means learning about the body, puberty, sexual feelings, relationships, consent, contraception, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and healthy sexual behaviour.

Yes. Sexual feelings and attraction are a normal part of human development. What matters is understanding them and handling them responsibly.

Consent means freely agreeing to sexual activity. It should be clear, voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time. Silence, pressure or intoxication does not mean consent.

Yes. Masturbation is generally a normal part of sexual development when it is private and does not interfere with daily life, relationships, studies or work.

No. There is no good evidence that normal masturbation causes permanent weakness, infertility or loss of sexual ability.

Pornography is entertainment, not sex education. It may show unrealistic bodies, behaviour, performance and expectations. Real sexual relationships involve communication, consent, comfort and mutual respect.

A healthy sexual relationship involves mutual consent, respect, communication, emotional comfort, privacy and responsibility for sexual health.

Yes. Some STIs can be transmitted through a single sexual exposure. Risk depends on the infection and type of sexual contact.

Using condoms correctly, limiting exposure to infection, vaccination where appropriate, testing when indicated and having honest communication with partners can reduce risk.

No contraceptive method is 100% effective. Correct and consistent condom use substantially reduces the risk of pregnancy and also helps reduce transmission of many STIs.

Yes. Pregnancy is possible from the first vaginal sexual intercourse if sperm reaches the vagina and no effective contraception is being used.

There is a wide natural variation in penis size. Size alone does not determine sexual satisfaction, fertility or sexual ability.
