/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Our educational system does not envisage
psychological sex education. Subjects like hygiene, sex organ anatomy,
child-parent relations have been removed from school curricula, whereas
parents should serve as a kind of information source for children,"
psychologist Svetlana Hrutyunyan told today a news conference devoted
to the "The Problems Psychological Sex Education among Teenagers."
Yerevan State Medical University lecturer Vrezh Shahramyan noted
in turn that, "The main problem is the great amount of low quality
literature which serves as a sexual education guideline for teenagers.
Free access to Internet may also produce a harmful impact, since
there is much information there not permissible for teenagers. These
include anonymous articles on the issue, as well as sexual ads which
disinform and disorientates a teenager."
According to Svetlana Harutyunyan psychological sex education should
start at pre-school age. Children are very inquisitive at ages 0-7 and
questions like "What is planet?" and "How did I come into being?" have
equal value for them. So they shouldn't be given answers like "You
were Brought by a Stark" or "We found you in a cabbage". Let alone the
sentence "We bought you in a Store" which can traumatize the child
as the latter may think that he may be returned to shop in case of
misbehaving. It is necessary to stress by all means that the child
is the product of parents' love.
Psychologies also noted that "As early as four years ago, when parents
were asked about the necessity of psychological sex education in
kindergartens, they simply wrote on survey forms, 'he'll know it when
he grows up,' ".
In that connection Vrezh Saharamyan added that other family surveys
revealed two extreme attitudes: sexual education is either a prohibited
subject, or it is openly discussed.
Physician also noted that most of adult pathologies result from
incorrect sex education. Adults may have such sexual problems as
vaginism, orgasm or uncertainty about sexual orientation.
