TIP 71

“Sentence every immoral thought for detention and prosecution. Immorality is a powerful gadget that brings down great monuments of success. Don’t entertain immorality.” Israelmore AVIVOR

My dear and precious young ones, I feel very great to come before you today, knowing that I find being in your company a great honour. I am so glad to be in the midst of those whose fate of humanity is in their hands according to Abraham Lincoln.

Today, I am interested in drawing for you a line between Sex and Sexuality, which may help you to understand the reason why many young people today are engaged in ‘Consensual Sexual Activity’.

Alas! You are exposed…You are over-exposed to sex, its knowledge, practices and perversions. We mean you are not only exposed to the knowledge, you sometimes engage or indulge yourselves in the act.

You do not need to look too far to see the point we are making. With careless socialization today, which promote sex as the acceptable social language of interaction of the 21st Century, young people are bound to know more than enough and necessary.

From music, movies, adverts to social media, you see a large dose of indecent materials daily, too bad for your young and developing minds.

My concern today is that as young people, you know so much about sex, its practices and multi-level perversions, which have terrible physical and psychological impact on our young minds. The depth of your knowledge will only shock the naïve caregivers, who are either ignorant or pretend to be ignorant of the fact that as children and teenagers by the design of nature, you take after the dominant nature of their environment. That what I mean by socialization, which I mention earlier in our discussion. Your behaviour today is a picture of your psychology. But your psychology comes from your socialization. That is why I keep saying that socialization is superior to psychology.

My concern today is that your knowledge of SEX as young people far outweighs your knowledge of your SEXUALITY.

In fact I make bold to say that you seem to know everything about SEX and almost nothing about your SEXUALITY.

Recently, I was dealing with the case of a 3(three) old boy who was climbing girl children in his class. The other day I was invited by a school to deal with the issue of a 12 year old boy in Junior Secondary school, who derived pleasure from touching the breasts of female students and running away. It became a very rampant habit the led to sending him on suspension after several warnings and meeting with his parents. The school was amazed that upon resumption, the child resumed the habit. The school was on the verge of expelling the child, as his case seemed irredeemable.

Hmm…I think we should end here today. Tomorrow, I will share with you about the difference between sex and sexuality.

The THINK Factor

I charge you to think today about what you are exposed to as a child/teenager and the impact of same on your understanding of sex and its practice. Have you noticed any specific positive or negative sexual behaviour in you as a result of what you are exposed to as a young person?  Take time to really reflect and share your thoughts in your S.A.F.E™ 4 YOU Personal Journal.
