Re:Emergency contraceptive

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Some years back Indian universities were running a project " Let's

talk sex " . I am sure that many of us did not hear about it because

in spite of spending lots of funds, not much was done.

That time I gave one hour presentation on matters relating to sex,

safe sex, use of condoms etc; to non medical NCC cadets from high

schools and colleges. The students were nervous, edgy, feeling

uncomfortable to listen, specially the girls. And so were their

teachers and officers. I found from school students that they knew

what sex was. They knew condoms. I passed them few to open and see.

But they did not know the correct use. They did not know various

methods of contraception. And their understanding about STDs was

shockingly poor. But do the schools and colleges care to improve the

awareness on the subject?

Even though sex is a physiological need, all worldly creatures enjoy

it, then why do we shy from talking about it? How are we going to

improve the scenerio without talking about it?

We keep saying culture of our society is such. Are not brothels and

prostitution existing in same society? Is not rape attempted in same

society? Do you know that lay people have a firmly grounded strong

notion that if they contact STD, they should have sex without condom

and pass it to others and they will be free from it?

We give excuses in plenty in the name of culture and social norms.
