Sex Education is abroad term that
pertains to the study of human sexual anatomy, sexual reproduction, sexual
intercourse, reproductive health, emotional relationship, abstinence and
contraception, reproductive rights and responsibilities, and other aspects of
human sexuality and sexual behavior. According to global statistics, countries
which do not have a genuine and comprehensive Sex Education have more cases and
incidences of rape, sexually-transmitted diseases, teenage pregnancy and
abortion. Do
you know that in the United States, a 13-year-old girl needs the signed letter
of approval from her parents before she can participate in a field trip? She
also needs the same if she wants to have her ears pierced. What is alarming,
however, according to Plain Truth, is
that a 13-year-old girl can and is free to have sex whenever she wants to, and
if she gets pregnant from this act of precociousness and promiscuity, she can
have an abortion without her parents even knowing about it. This is what
critics in the U.S. called “foolishness of American society.”

Picture Trivia
Italian actress Sophia Loren was only
15 years old when she met Italian film producer Carlo Ponti, who was then 37
years old. After eight years they got married on September 17, 1957, even
though Ponti was still married to his first wife Giuliana Fiastri. During those
times, there was no divorce in Italy. Ponti and Loren need to dissolve their
marriage or face a bigamy case. In 1965, Ponti was able to get a divorce from
Fiastri in France, and on April 9, 1966, Ponti remarried Loren and they became
French citizens.
It can be said that the love story
between Ponti and Loren is one among the most extraordinary. They both
relinquished their citizenships and were unmindful of their age difference in
the name of love. They loved and lived in blessings and hardship for more than
57 years until Ponti’s death in 2007.
When Loren was asked if she would ever
remarry, she replied: “No, never again. It would be impossible to love anyone
else.”
