Abstract

The sexual revolution of the past half-century is arguably the dominant cultural revolution of modern times. Sex without commitment has dramatically increased the number of unwed births, abortion, and STIs among adolescents. Sex education hold an important role to prevent all those negative effects of hypersexualized society these days. Sex education has always been a controversial aspect of education. In some countries, talking about sex in public is taboo. There are pro and contra over sex education. “What should be taught”, “since when it should be taught”, “is it appropriate to teach it in the class”, are the frequently asked questions in all over the world. In western country, sex education aims to prevent unwanted pregnancy and sexual transmitted infections (STIs). In eastern country which is still hold a strong culture, norms, and religious values, sex is a sensitive topic so that it caused debates over it. This is a descriptive qualitative research that aims to describe sex education in three countries, describe the appropriate degree of teaching sex education, and also to describe the relation of sex education to sexual behavior among adolescent. Data collected by documentation enriched with interview. The analysis data technique chosen in this research is interactive analysis by Miles Huberman which involves the following step: (1) data reduction, (2) data display, and (3) conclusion. These three steps occur at the same time, concurrent streams or activities so that it called interactive. Research shows that sex education in Finland has been a mandatory course in schools since 1970. Sex education in Finland has become a compulsory subject integrated into other subjects such as biology/geography and as a stand-alone subject in health education. Sex education in the United States has two common approaches, which are abstinence-only education and comprehensive sex education. Both of approaches teach abstinence until marriage, but in comprehensive sex education students also provided with contraception. CSE realized that not all students can abstain. Sex education in Indonesia is still lacking. It is simply integrated into other subject and mostly talk about human reproduction system. Sex education in Indonesia has not been able to show its effectiveness to reduce teen pregnancy rates. Sex education is appropriate to be taught if it based on age-appropriate and need of students. Indonesian government and education figure with religious leaders and health figure should gather to discuss about comprehensive sex education to provide the right information about sexuality health based on age-appropriate and student need. Comprehensive sex education collaborating with religion values, Indonesian norms and culture assumed will be a good approach to teach sex education in Indonesia.
