低龄儿童接受性教育或适得其反

　　Most five-year-olds like playing with toys, running around with their friends and daubing as much paint on a sheet of paper as they can smear on themselves. That, surely, is what being five years old is all about. What it is not about is sex. Even in the highly sexualised world we live in, most five-year-olds wouldn’t even recognise the word, let alone have any idea what it meant or, frankly, any interest in finding out。

　　五岁的小孩都在干什么呢？把自己淹没在玩具的海洋里？和小玩伴胡闹或者在家中床单上当“达芬奇”作画？不管怎样，让人毋庸置疑的是，关于5岁小孩的任何记忆绝对不会跟“性”有关，在这个报刊、媒体都充斥着性知识、对性毫不掩饰的时代，专家们担忧地发现，5岁----大字都不识的孩子，竟然对性知识十分了解。

　　But that’s not good enough for today’s so-called sex education experts, as a worrying new investigation has revealed. It found five-year-olds are not only being given the sort of sex education lessons that used to be reserved for teenagers, but that they are also being bombarded with graphic images and descriptions of adult sexual acts. There are comic-book-style pictures of different sexual positions, cartoon explanations of masturbation and orgasm, and crayoned drawings that are supposed to explain the difference between heterosexuality and homosexuality — with anal sex getting a special mention。

　　也许对于当今负责孩子们“性教育”的老师们来说，这也许并不是一个让人“欣喜若狂”的消息，因为性教育的普及度并没有更好的保护好这些祖国的花骨朵们，让他们在年少无知的时候远离性生活，更好的保护他们的生理以及心理的健康。性教育大跨度式教育模式，与低龄化的教育趋势让那些本来对性拥有着朦朦胧胧画面的孩子们，性生活在脑海中的画面反而更清晰，性教育专家们在课堂上对性的解释、以及对两性生活的“细致描述”会让小孩的好奇心增大，俗话说：好奇害死猫！这种好奇心会让本来对性生活不了解的孩子们向往性生活，反而对性生活“跃跃欲试”！据悉，在市面上，针对孩子们进行性教育“普及”的读物越来越丰富，不管是充斥着性暴力的漫画插图、还是卡通式的对于性高潮的解释，铺天盖地的这样那样对于性生活的描述，超过了孩子们对于“性”的承受能力，专家担心，低龄化的性教育普及怕会适得其反。

　　For five-year-olds! So much for an age of innocence. Teenagers can legally drive a car when they are 17, but we wouldn’t dream of starting to teach them how to do it when they are five. So why is it suddenly different when it comes to sex? Answer: it isn’t. Five-year-olds — in common with six, seven and eight-year-olds — are simply not emotionally ready for this sort of information. Their bodies aren’t ready for sex and nor are their minds. It plays no part in their lives and that, in my opinion, is exactly how it should stay.

　　5岁，在我们印象里，应该是属于“无知”的年龄。比如，法律规定满17岁的少年可以合法学习驾驶，但是我们并不指望在他们5岁的时候就开始启蒙他们对于驾驶的教育。同理可证，向5岁的孩子普及性教育知识，也是有点超越孩子们的理解范围的，因为这个年龄段的孩子别说心理上无法承受大量的性知识了，就连生理上也别说有尝试的能力吧。专家警告，太小的孩子，不合适那么早的进行性教育的普及。因为，不管是生理还是心理，都无法承受类似的知识的获取。
