How does CSE go From Innocent Relationships to Sexualising Relationships?

The learning objectives for 5-8-year-olds are good. 

Children are taught that there are different types of relationships (with parents, friends, and spouses).

From 12-15 years old, teenagers are taught the skill to discuss how close relationships can become sexual. Notice that “close relationships” is in plural form? Do we have to sexualise close relationships like existing platonic friendships or even family ties? And why is this even a necessary skill?

Prior to having a discussion about a relationship becoming sexual, one must signal with erotic love that would trigger such a discussion. 

What is the consequence of teenagers’ behaviour after learning how to have such conversations about sexualising their relationships? How will such a skill be taught?

From 15-18 years old, teenagers will be taught how to express affection in sexual relationships and the skills to do so.

This is age-inappropriate since teenagers are currently protected by law from underaged sexual activity and should ideally abstain from sexual activities until they get married. Exposing teenagers to such behaviours inflames their hormonal impulses, which leads to sexual ideation and exploration.

Such information should be taught with the context of marriage (e.g. marriage preparation and for growing in marriage).
