U2®: "Becoming Sex Smart"By Marline Pearson Grades: 8-12 Becoming Sex Smart: Sample Lesson - PDF Teens today receive little balanced guidance about sex. Youth culture embraces casual sex, while mature voices worry about the growing chasm between sex and relationships. At school, sex education uses a health/biology model that focuses on the physical aspects of sexual activity.
Activities make teens aware of the discrete steps of physical involvement and what each step means for their health and heart. Other topics include gender differences, defining personal boundaries and skills to maintain these limits. “Becoming Sex Smart” also contains information on STDs presented in the context of values and relationships. This unit is designed to stand alone or complement sex ed in schools, youth agencies, clubs and faith based organizations.

“Becoming Sex
Smart” takes a broader view of the subject, without a religious
or ideological agenda. For the first time, it helps teens explore
the emotional and social dimensions of sexuality, not simply the
physical issues. Furthermore, teens learn the positive benefits
they can enjoy by postponing sexual activity.
