Despite the fact that we are in the 21st century, sexuality is still a taboo subject, in schools there is no optimal and open education, we have learned that sexuality is not talked about and if it is talked about it is to do so from the risks , from the dangers. We are not taught that sexuality is about who we are, about knowing and accepting ourselves, about self-esteem, about emotions, about learning to relate in a healthy way.
According to the Dictionary of the Language Española (2012), sex is the character set functional and structural according to which a organism is classified as "male" or "female", while sexuality is the set of conditions psychological and psychological corresponding to each sex
and that they are determining factors in their sexual behavior.
The World Health Organization (WHO) describes sexuality as:
The term "sexuality" refers to a fundamental dimension of being human. It is expressed in the form of thoughts, fantasies, desires, beliefs, attitudes, values, activities, practices, roles and relationships. Sexuality is the result of the interaction of biological, psychological, cultural, socioeconomic, ethical and religious or spiritual factors. In summary, the Sexuality is practiced and expressed in everything we are, feel, think and do.
Sex education should be seen as something healthy and normalized that favors the affective and physical development of the human being. The sexual behavior of people is determined in the first instance by inherited patterns of sexual response, incorporated into the genes of each individual, and second instance, by the social and cultural factors that condition the expression of sexuality. In human beings there are no periodic variations in sexual activity, as occurs in other animals that present a time of "zeal". Faced with the right stimuli, humans they can have sexual activity permanently, throughout most of their life.
Parents and children's sexual education
Another relevant issue for these times is the influence that we as parents have on the sexual education of our children. There is always time to correct and intervene so that the child improves his concept. As children learn to walk and speak, they also begin to learn about their bodies. Open the door to sex education by teaching your child the proper names for his sexual organs, perhaps at bath time.

Depending on the attitude of the parents, children learn whether sex is beautiful or ugly, right or wrong, a topic of conversation or not. Parents are role models with their attitudes, whether or not they talk about it. Teach your child that no one is allowed to touch the private parts of his or her body without permission. If you are concerned about your child's behavior, see your doctor.
THE MIDDLE POINT IS HARD TO FIND, but it is always closer to the personal relationship, to sexuality seen -and enjoyed- as a means, not as an end. Parents tend to deal with and worry about their children's sexuality with a defensive, preventive, even fearful attitude. If we really value life as a couple, the logical thing is that we transmit to the children a vision of sex far from selfishness.
Sex education must begin at home and continue in schools. It is VERY IMPORTANT to promote healthy habits and self-esteem from the earliest years. Experts believe that many of the situations that boys and girls experience between the ages of 12 and 21 are conditioned by childhood experiences.

It is so important these days to impart this knowledge to children, atleast the basics. Only when they are aware of this subject will they be able to identify between the good touch and the bad touch
