Who says they shouldn't?
I mean sex among young people has been happening for ages. I personally think it's better that we talk about this stuff with them so they can open up to us and tell us when they're sexually active. Then they practice safe sex with the parents knowing rather than doing it behind the parents back and without protection.
No no no. You should never keep a child from learn about sex. We must create an open environment where kids can ask questions with out fear of being judged or punished. You cannot prevent them from having sex, but you can help them learn to do it for the right reasons, and in a safe way. Every kid is curious about sex and their own body. They need to know these curiosities are natural and that their sexuality isn't something to be ashamed of. It's been statistically proven that providing a continuous and open education for kids significantly decreases rates of pregnancy and STD rates. If we don't educate them someone else will in all the wrong ways.
I don't think that's really the problem though. It's not the safe part that's embarrassing it's just that ever since we were young we were taught that we don't need confirm because we won't be having sex but then we do have sex. The only problem is that the condoms are bad thing sticks in our heads and we're afraid to talk about them. I'm not really sure why, it's just a guess.
Believe me or not, but sex using a condom isn't actualy safe. It protects only from HIV and heving a child. There are numerous other diseases, that are uncurable, and need only a skin touch. The only possible "safe sex" is without genital contact, which by definition isn't sex at all. So, (safe sex) <=> (no sex)
Safe sex doesn't mean it's 100% safe, it means taking steps to protect yourself. It like how even if you practice safe driving you can still get in an accident. Using a condom is safer than not using one.
Also, there are more diseases than just HIV that condoms protect against.
