Masturbation should be included in age-appropriate sex education curriculum for middle school students. Teaching kids about masturbation isn’t just good for them, but also in helping them understand the pleasure of the opposite gender.
It is good for teens to identify what exactly they like and what they don’t like. Without learning about it, there is no way for such teens to differentiate what is okay or not okay.
It is important to have an age- and culturally appropriate sex education program that will benefit future students.
Sex when best used, is a pleasurable activity that is part of a normal life. It should be safe and fun, honest and satisfying. Most sex education curricular today focuses only on safety and birth control, leaving out the important parts kids need to learn on patience, and some information on a good sex life.
A good sex education should discuss all aspects of sex, that includes oral, manual, and anal sex and not just the intercourse as the norm. Masturbation should e taught as a natural activity, as it is a great way for some people to learn about their body.
