A National Health Service leaflet is advising school pupils that they have a “right” to an enjoyable sex life and that regular intercourse can be good for their cardiovascular health.
The advice appears in guidance circulated to parents, teachers and youth workers, and is intended to update sex education by telling pupils about the benefits of sexual pleasure. For too long, say its authors, experts have concentrated on the need for “safe sex” and loving relationships while ignoring the main reason that many people have sex, that is, for enjoyment.
The document, called Pleasure, has been drawn up by NHS Sheffield, although it is also being circulated outside the city.
Alongside the slogan “an orgasm a day keeps the doctor away”, it says: “Health promotion experts advocate five portions of fruit and veg a day and 30 minutes’ physical activity three times a week. What about sex or masturbation twice a week?”

Steve Slack, director of the Centre for HIV and Sexual Health at NHS Sheffield, who is one of the authors, argues that, far from promoting teenage sex, it could encourage young people to delay losing their virginity until they are sure they will enjoy the experience.
Slack believes that as long as teenagers are fully informed about sex and are making their decisions free of peer pressure and as part of a caring relationship, they have as much right as an adult to a good sex life.
Anthony Seldon, master of Wellington College, Berkshire, who introduced classes in emotional wellbeing, said the approach was “deplorable”.

Re: Pupils told: Sex every day keeps the GP away (Doctor away)
While it is true that sex has its benefits....why are they giving this to kids? and an orgasm a day would keep the doctor away as long as you don't end up with stds....then you see the doctor A LOT. I agree Pantho, parts of it are good.....others....not so much. This is where we run into the putting leaflets out before thinking it through entirely.
My children will know about sex when I feel they are ready (probably when they start asking or when I start getting suspicious, lol), and I will explain to them basic sex education information, but I won't teach them abstinence only (especially because of morality reasons). They will know what the consequences are, and they will know that although sex can be fun, sometimes its not all its cracked up to be...I *might* throw in a few scare tactics with them...if the pictures of STD's aren't enough. but I've got a long way until then, so who knows, things may change.

Re: Pupils told: Sex every day keeps the GP away (Doctor away)
i feel full upfront knowledge on the facts are needed for an educated decision. It sucked in high school when i wasnt given any actual facts on sex education. The most they showed us was how to put a condom on. There needs to be proper education telling children that their bodies are ok and not things to be ashamed of. The school district doesnt pressure children into having sex by giving them information. There are other health benefits to sexual release such as increased prostate health in men.
