Such advice from the Brook Advisory Centres still circulates under the banner of sex education today and is a major reason why we have to remain vigilant and involved in this field. Sex is indeed fun and sex education shouldn't be stuffy, but it should present the excitement within the context of other important features such as commitment and respect. Minimum requirements for a comprehensive sex education include the perspective that sexuality is not seen in isolation from the total meaning and purpose of human life. The distinction between love and desire, sacrifice and self-centredness, commitment and manipulation are all involved here and clearly necessitate a moral base. It is here that the greatest conflicts arise.
Modern morality is based on expediency and short-term consequences.
Mary Porter of the Sex Education Forum suggested the following as a moral foundation for sex education. Sexual morality is determined by your own conscience, not rules. We should adopt a live and let live approach to others' sexual choices. We should accept teenage sexual activity. Sexual commitment and marriage are separate concepts.
