At what age should children prepare for sex?

9-12-year-old children must learn the steps of using male and female condoms.

Why must young children learn how to put on condoms? Who are they expected to have sex with? This is an unnecessary exposure for a huge majority of children and youths who will not be sexually active at this age. It could even lead to dangerous scenarios which sexual predators can exploit (e.g. ‘friendly’ neighbour uncle offering to demonstrate how to put on condoms as a follow-up from school’s CSE).

12-15-year-old teenagers must demonstrate ways to access sources of contraception.

15-18-year-old teenagers must demonstrate confidence in discussing and using different contraceptives.

In what context do teenagers need to discuss and use contraceptives confidently? What does this signal about acceptable behaviour? How will such a lesson be taught?

They must also develop a plan for accessing a preferred contraceptive.

By after developing a plan, what are teenagers expected to do with it? What about those who decide to act upon it, sometimes even while underaged?

In CSE, teenagers are not proactively taught to say no to sex, but rather to plan for it. 

Teenagers and children should not be exposed to sexual content or even be enticed or encouraged to plan for or to explore sexually. 

Abstinence is not just to avoid unwanted pregnancies. It is also to help one avoid a lifetime of regrets and an undermined marriage in the future.
