17 Lies We Need to Stop Teaching Girls About Sex Whether it's the constant fretting over Miley Cyrus' influence on school girls or the growing (and troubling) tradition of Purity Balls, it's clear that society has a fascination with young women's sexuality — especially when it comes to controlling it. But what are we actually teaching today's girls about sex? Fueled by outdated ideals of gender roles and the sense that female sexuality is somehow shameful, there seem to be certain pernicious myths about girls and sex that just won't die. Knowledge is power, and we can promote a healthier relationship with sex by encouraging a more open dialogue, teaching girls to feel comfortable with their sexuality and, most importantly, emphasizing that their bodies are theirs and theirs alone.

Sending and receiving sexually explicit messages a normal part of teenage relationships, survey finds Updated 2 hours 4 minutes ago A survey of Australian high school students has found that sending and receiving sexually explicit images and messages is a normal part of most teenage relationships. La Trobe university researchers interviewed more than 2,000 16 to 18-year-old students across the country as part of a study commissioned by the Federal Government. The National Survey of Australian Secondary Students and Sexual Health is conducted every five years to explore the sexual behaviour, knowledge and attitudes of young Australians. In the latest study researchers found that more than half of those surveyed had received a sexually explicit text message and 26 per cent reported sending a sexually explicit photo of themselves. The results showed 25 per cent of year 10 students, a third of year 11 students and 50 per cent of year 12 students surveyed reported having had sex. "Given that it’s against the law, I think we have thoroughly lost that battle for young people," she said.

I wanna sext you up: teens shun bedroom for online romance Sex and school students - the truth Lots of sexting, but less sex - Year 10 to 12 students surveyed on sexual behaviour. Producer - Tom McKendrick A LANDMARK study of Australian high school students’ sexual habits has revealed "sexting" online and via mobile phone is so widespread, experts are urging parents to accept it as a form of "modern day courtship". The La Trobe University study shows more than 70 per cent of sexually active year 10 to 12 students have sent explicit text messages, 84 per cent have received them, and more than half have sent naked or semi-nude photos or videos of themselves. But despite fears the increasing use of technology is encouraging promiscuity and sex from an early age, the report reveals that the rate of intercourse is actually dropping as more teenagers choose to wait.
