Sex education, including its spiritual aspects, should be part of both health and moral education from kindergarten through grade twelve, ideally carried out harmoniously by parents and teachers. - Benjamin Speck

"Sex",  a palpable scruffy word in lexicon of Indians is not only used to denote two genders .i.e., male and female but also our third biological need, the need of reproduction. Unlike the first two biological needs of hunger and thirst, sex is not imperative for survival but for the continuation of the human race. It serves as an impetus to menstruation in women and nocturnal emission in boys. It prepares the body for copulation when teenagers reach puberty.

In India, sexual intercourse is a topic that is often demurred as it is considered humiliating and immoral to converse, especially with the elders of the society, Yakking and even expressing about one's own sexuality and sexual orientation is given the tag of vulgarity and shamefulness. This petrification often compels young adults to suppress their needs and desires and do not permit women to freely express their troubles related to their menstrual cycles and are thus rendered helpless in their struggles and to maintain proper intimate hygiene.

Just because sex is not essential for survival does not mean that it should be ignored. Every person does not have the same set of morale. A man can even steal to satisfy his hunger. Excessive suppression can lead to harrowing trouble, which can have horrendous effects on not only the person but the society as a whole. Lack of knowledge about sexual health and freedom in India poses a big threat to the uneducated from STD's (Sexually Transmitted Disease). Moreover, as parents avoid conversation on this topic young adults seek new ways to get information from various sources which sometimes involve gory details. Their inquisitiveness can prove harmful when they try to get their answers through the internet and social media. Online content houses devious facts which can be misleading as they do no good by creating insatiable fantasies. Thus, there are chances od becoming besotted with lust

Pornography hugely dominates people's knowledge about sex, most of them youngsters, which often vilifies sexiest remarks against women. The images and acts it contains are ostensible to such an extent that their application in real life can result in a mental and sexual conundrum or more than one person. Not only the act but also the physique and mannerisms portrayed are not authentic and are feigned beneath the veneer of enthralling bodies. Some pornographic actors even have their own plastic surgeons. This performers put up a facade of ideal seduction through implant enlargement. Also, the videos in which they are shot go through surreptitious changes before showing their way to the internet

Masturbation and nocturnal emissions are common issues in adolescence but they are not given frequent attention due to prejudices about sex education . After all, it is the uncontrollable urge of men which justifies rape. Moreover, not only women but even children are becoming victim of sexual assault and trafficking. Unfortunately, due to the uncommonness of sexual awareness kids are not able to judge when they are being harassed and even if they eel unusual, they refrain from discussing their problems with parents because of social prejudices and parochial mindset. Even men are afraid of discussing their reproductive issues regarding erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, etc. as it is deemed an attack on masculinity.

In 2007, sex education was introduced by the National Council or Education, Research and Training in the curriculum and not as a separate subject. However, sex education was widely opposed and removed in states like Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Goa. In May 2007, Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan removed sex education from the curriculum on the advice of Dinanath Batra of Rashtriya Swayemsevak Sangh (RSS). Not only the parents but also the teachers protested against its introduction as they consider it as a provocating way of promoting the sale of condoms by the multinational companies and also fear that it would add to the curiosity of innocent students. Even talking about HIV/AIDS and STD's is regarded as scruffy and shameful

The current structure of national programmes in India includes FLE (family life/ sex education), introduced in the Indian curriculum by the Ministry od Human Resourse and Development and National AIDS Control Organization. It aims at developing emotional stability and adequate decision making power in adolescents, providing sound knowledge regarding physical, psychological and social aspects of sexual behaviour so that it can be viewed as an integral part of the individual and acceptable in the society. However, this curriculum has its own shortcomings.

Superstitions (like children are God in disguise) want for a male child are also some concomitants of the failure of family planning and sex education in India

Due to this societal intransigence, even the use if contraceptives and vasectomy is parochial. The main obstacle that is hindering the development of sex education is the mental imbroglio due to preconceived notions regarding copulation which needs to be succoured as early as possible. The transformation of psyche and views demand social flexibility and openness to welcome changes in order to ensure a progressive society.
