Sex Education

I suppose you are asking if making love, i.e. sex act, is a must for loving a person and the answer is NO. Sex is one way of expressing love but not the only way. To show love, you care for them, you listen to them, hold hands or hug them. Young people tend to think that sex means love when in fact having sex at an inappropriate time gives rise to inevitable consequences like unplanned pregnancy, STD and legal responsibilities. So, think before you act.

Sex act has a broad sense and a narrow sense. In its narrow sense, sex act refers to vaginal intercourse where a male inserts his penis into the vagina of a female. In its broadest sense, sex act includes anal sex, oral sex, fondling, French kiss and others. Based on its broad definition, sex act is possible between the same gender.

People react differently to sex. Some females say the first sex is painful with the hymen torn. An intact hymen does not mean somebody is a virgin. Some people have their hymen torn with active sports. Other females have narrow vagina and feel pain whenever they have sex. Females forced into sex acts also suffer from pain.

Some of you ask about doing the right thing, at the right time, with the right person. As a matter of fact, "right" has a different meaning for different people. For sex acts, we hope you can think about it objectively. Are you able to handle the consequences of having sex, including unplanned pregnancy, STD and legal responsibilities? Ask yourself, at this time and age when you're still in school - what is your goal or your dream? Is this the appropriate time to become a parent? What are your legal responsibilities? What will be your future? Healthy sex requires love, respect and commitment and is absolutely not a simple decision. Think before you act.

Sex act has a broad sense and a narrow sense. In its narrow sense, sex act refers to vaginal intercourse where a male inserts his penis into a female's vagina. Broadly speaking, sex acts include anal sex, oral sex, fondling, French kiss and others.

It depends on your definition for safe. There is not yet a method in this world with 100% contraception or guarantees against STD. The effectiveness of male condom is only 86% and other contraceptive methods like the pill cannot prevent STD. Please do not let seeking sexual gratification make you do something that you will regret later.

Please note that different people think differently about "sex" and "love". Some believe that sex does not necessarily involve love or love does not necessarily involve sex. Think about people who are involved in prostitution. There's probably no love between these people. On the other hand, sex is only one of the ways to show love, but not the only way. Many people have sex just for the sake of sensual excitement. They haven't thought about unplanned pregnancy, STD or legal responsibilities as possible results. Please think before you act.

That depends on what you mean by risk. Basically, sex is for reproduction, to continue the family, or a married couple express mutual love by means of the sex act. What you need to note is that sex can lead to consequences, including unplanned pregnancy, STD and legal responsibilities which you'll need to understand if you can handle. Sex at an inappropriate time can be "risky" and can give rise to pressure. So, don't act on impulse or look only for sensual pleasure and do something that you'll soon regret.

Most people think that making love refers to sexual intercourse or sex acts, meaning the erection of a stimulated penis and insertion into a female's vagina. Sex acts can be broadly defined as any form of intimate bodily contact including kiss and fondling. It also refers specifically to vaginal intercourse. Sexual intercourse sounds simple but may result in unplanned pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and legal responsibilities. If you're not ready for such results or consequences, think carefully before you act.

Orgasm refers to the intense pleasure attained by the sex act, including mental and sensual satisfaction. The male's orgasm is more obvious and often leads to ejaculation. Some people achieve orgasm through masturbation. Please note that not every person experiences orgasm every time he / she has sexual intercourse, and orgasm is not an indication of capability in sex. Good sexual relationship involves love, respect and commitment. To avoid blind pursuit, you need to ensure that you are ready to accept the results and consequences of having sex.

From the past to the present time, there is no evidence or statistics to show that the male has a stronger sex drive than the female. It is however true that male gets stimulated more easily than female. The female in general is aroused and stimulated only after bodily contact but the male can be sexually excited just by what they see.

Yes. The fusion of a sperm and an egg is necessary for pregnancy. The fertilized egg develops into a fetus inside the female body and leaves it after ten months. Medical advancement cannot produce a pregnancy with only an egg or sperm or a mixture of only eggs or only sperms.

Viagara is a medicine for helping erectile dysfunction, i.e. for the impotent male, so as to increase the chance of impregnation when a couple wishes to have children. But since being available on the market, some males who are not impotent are too eager to get it. Some of them believe their sexual ability can be strengthened. They want to please their sexual partners and to have higher self-esteem as a man. This pill originally for sexual impotence is being used by men for satisfying sexual desire, for sensual excitement while making love. Respect and commitment, the basis of healthy sex, is neglected.

When you have period as normal, the chance that you will get pregnant is rather low. But some females may have vaginal bleeding even when they are pregnant. This is commonly called "false menstruation". So, don't rely only on your period to decide whether you're pregnant or not. If you think you may be pregnant, buy a test kit and check it two weeks after the last sexual intercourse. And since the quality of test kits available on the market varies, you can see a qualified doctor and get a pregnancy test in order to have a confirmed answer.

During menstruation, the vagina is not that resistant to germs and bacteria and you may feel pain. It's best that you avoid sex at this time. Many people think that sex during menstruation will not result in pregnancy, but this is absolutely wrong. For some females, especially young girls whose biological cycle is not yet regular, there can be ovulation during the safe period or menstruation. Having sex at this time can result in pregnancy. Please think before you act.

We're not medical professionals and do not have the exact figures. The chance of getting pregnant depends on the fertility of both the man and the woman and their physical health. Other factors include the sperm count, whether the sperms are good swimmers; the biological cycle of the woman, whether her uterus allows for easy implantation of a fertilized egg..

For an egg to be fertilized, we need a healthy egg and a healthy sperm. When a sperm fertilizes an egg, the female gets pregnant. Ejaculating inside a female does not necessarily result in pregnancy as the physical nature of people differs. There are not yet any accurate figures on the fertilization rate in relation to ejaculating inside a female. However, you are reminded of the possibility of pregnancy when there is sex between a healthy male and a healthy female.

There is a common misunderstanding that withdrawal before ejaculation prevents pregnancy. This is absolutely wrong. In actual fact, even before ejaculation, the male body already discharges a fluid which contains enough sperms to cause pregnancy. Therefore, withdrawal before ejaculation is not a contraceptive method.

Absolutely not. Please be reassured that plastic wrap is not for preventing pregnancy. It is for food protection only! Using plastic wrap during sex merely creates more folds, friction and tearing. Most condoms claim to have 99% contraception but statistics show that in Hong Kong the rate of successful contraception using condoms is only 86%. Poor quality of the products and incorrect use contribute to ineffectiveness. Your attention is drawn to the fact that there is not a single method with 100% prevention against pregnancy or STD. All of the mentioned contraceptive methods are not 100% reliable. When you've understood the risk involved, consider seriously and see if you can bear the consequences of sex acts. Think before you act.

Yes. All condoms have their manufacture date and expiry date shown on the package. Condoms produced too long ago have less value and do not function effectively. Meanwhile, you are reminded that there is not yet a method that guarantees 100% contraception. Even newly produced condoms do not ensure 100% prevention of pregnancy or STD.

There are many types of condoms on the market that claim to be able to stimulate sensations during the sex acts. However you have to be aware that healthy sex involves love, respect and responsibility. Don't act on impulse and avoid being taken over by excitement. You may regret afterwards when there can be no turning back. So, think before you act.

For the correct way of using a condom, you can always find it on the package. If you want to know more, you can ask your doctor. The most common contraceptive method in Hong Kong is using the male condom. Condom companies claim that the effectiveness of their products is 99%. However, research shows that in Hong Kong, the success rate of using condom for contraception is just 86% due to misuse, bad quality of product and product expiration. This means every 10 incidents of intercourse results in one pregnancy. And it is a fact that at present no method guarantees 100% contraception or prevention against STD. Think about it carefully. See if you can bear the consequences of having sex. Do not just rely on the condom.

Female condom is made of a kind of plastic (polyurethane). It is put into the vagina to collect semen from the man during sexual intercourse so that the semen does not go into the uterus and make the woman pregnant. It also prevents STD. According to research data, the chance of unplanned pregnancy during the first year of using this method is 5-21%.

It depends on your definition for safe sex. There is not yet a method with 100% contraception or guarantees against STD. The effectiveness of male condom is only 86% and other contraceptive methods such as oral contraceptive pill cannot prevent STD. Please do not let seeking sexual gratification make you do something that you will regret later.

Please pay attention to the difference between contraception and sterilization. Sterilization for the male involves ligation of the vas deferens and for the female, the oviducts. Ligation is for permanent sterilization. It is rare for a person to get pregnant after ligation. The chance of pregnancy within the first year of ligation is less than 0.2%.

The oral contraceptive pill works by using artificial hormones to suppress ovulation, thus lowering the chance of pregnancy. However, you'll need to know that there is not yet a method which 100% prevents you from getting pregnant. Taking pills can only lower the chance, and it is not 100% effective. For young girls whose menstrual cycle is not yet regular, hormones in the pill may affect their biological cycle.

Both contraceptive pills and emergency contraceptive pills (or morning-after pills) make use of artificial hormones. The former suppresses ovulation while the latter interferes with an egg fusing with a sperm or prevents the implantation of a fertilized egg so as to lower the chances of pregnancy. Contraceptive pills and emergency pills may reduce the possibility of pregnancy but they are not 100% reliable. What is more, like pain-killers, frequent use of emergency contraceptive pills will reduce the effectiveness of pregnancy prevention. For young ladies whose biological cycle is not yet regular, the pill's hormones can affect their cycle.

Be aware if you have sex without prevention after taking the emergency pill, the pill will no longer be effective for preventing pregnancy. Remember that there is no 100% pregnancy and STD prevention. Cherish your body and your partner's. Think before you act.

People tend to think that the safe period is the 7 days before and the 7 days after menstruation and sex during this period will not result in pregnancy. This is in fact totally wrong. To calculate the safe period, you need the doctor to help measure your temperature, examine your vaginal discharge and record your menstruation for a period of three months to half a year. Only in this way can the calculation be more accurate. For young ladies whose biological cycle is not yet regular, this calculation is not very reliable.
You should be smart and guard against all the misconceptions about preventing pregnancy. The most important thing you need to keep in mind is that there is the possibility of pregnancy, of STD and of legal responsibilities as long as there is sex. Always think before you act.

Many people are concerned that masturbation affects a person's sex ability. These two things are, in fact, not directly related. However, you must be cautioned against indulging yourself with excessive masturbation, as like other indulgences, it may affect your daily life or your normal sexual relationship with another person. There is also research showing that masturbation sometimes lead to unbalanced sex life. This is because excessive masturbation may give rise to premature ejaculation in later life.

No. Basically, STDs are transferred in the 4 ways - sexual contact, wound exposure to body fluid of a person with STD, blood transfusion or a STD infected pregnant mother. In fact, most STDs spread by sexual contact. Since masturbation doesn't involve body contact with another person, it shouldn't result in STD. However, you must be aware that masturbation can cause other sex organ infections if not done hygienically.

There is no data which shows that masturbation affects health. But be aware that you may masturbate too often in order to satisfy your sexual desire or that during the process you have increasingly violent or scary imagination. Also make sure you don't let it become a habit or indulgence to the extent that your social life or sex life with your future partner is affected. Note that a person who often masturbates doesn't mean that he will be satisfied with this act. Some of them proceed to asking their partners for sexual intercourse.

People think of sex acts when they hear the word sex or sexuality. This word has a broad meaning which includes physical development of both sexes, communication between the two sexes, sex acts, etc. It is very important to have a clear concept of sex. Knowledge about sex and sex education is an important part of the development of a person, especially an adolescent.

I suppose you are asking if making love, i.e. sex act, is a must for loving a person and the answer is NO. Sex is one way of expressing love but not the only way.

So, think before you act.

In the face of an unplanned pregnancy, you may want to seek help from parents, the older generation of the family, teachers and social workers. Most young people who have an unplanned pregnancy choose to hide the fact from their parents for fear of being scolded. In actual fact, based on our experience, it is usually the family members who give concrete help and continual support until the crisis is over.

A person is physically capable of having a sexual intercourse when they're 16 but that doesn't mean they can do it. In actual fact, it is against law in Hong Kong to have sexual intercourse with a girl under 16. Sex can have consequences like unplanned pregnancy, STD and legal responsibilities. Therefore you should take good care of your body and be serious with each decision.

Many adolescents do not want their parents to know of their pre-marital sex and unplanned pregnancy for fear of being scolded. And parents are usually angry with their children's sex acts and pregnancy and feel that they've no choice but to accept these things. But our experience from counseling hotline service and the cases we handled tell us that family members usually accompany their children and share their challenges throughout the crisis.

Some of you ask about doing the right thing, at the right time, with the right person. As a matter of fact, "right" has a different meaning for different people. For sex, we hope you can think about it objectively. Are you able to handle the consequences of sex, including unplanned pregnancy, STD and legal responsibilities.

I believe you're asking about how to say no to a partner for sex. There are many ways to refuse. The first thing is you need to know is your values and view on sex. If someone asks for an action that you do not want, make known your view and leave if necessary. There is no need to feel embarrassed. Leaving the scene is most expressive of what you think. Note that sex is not equal to love, and loving somebody doesn't mean the two of you must have sex. If the other party truly loves you, he will respect your choice. You and your partner will need to think about it first. See if the two of you are prepared for consequences of sex, such as unplanned pregnancy, STD or legal responsibilities. Have an honest discussion and set the boundary for body contact.

That depends on individual schools and the situation of different students. According to our experience, it is possible that a student stops going to school during pregnancy and returns after giving birth. This requires detailed discussions beforehand between the school and the student. The standpoint of the school and the sincerity of the student are no doubt important factors.

We're not medical professionals and do not have the exact figures. The chance of getting pregnant depends on the fertility of both the man and the woman and their physical health. Other factors include the sperm count, whether the sperms are good swimmers; the biological cycle of the woman, whether her uterus allows for easy implantation of a fertilized egg and so on.

Sex act between males normally refers to anal intercourse (buggery). According to existing law in Hong Kong , it is a criminal offence for a male to have buggery with a boy or a girl under the age of 21 and can be sentenced to life imprisonment. You might have heard about the litigation regarding buggery. Some people are of the opinion that the buggery ordinance should lower the age limit to 16. Since the case is still under judicial review, we can leave the answer to the court. No matter anal intercourse is legal or not, the anus is not for sex and such acts increase friction and damage to the penis and anus as well as the chances of getting STD.

Yes, it is a crime. According to Section 124 of Chapter 200 of the Laws of Hong Kong, a man who has unlawful sexual intercourse with a girl under the age of 16 shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction on indictment to imprisonment for 5 years. Even though a girl may look mature for her age or look older than 16 years of age or claims that she is already 16, the law stipulates that as long as she is under the age of 16, a man having sexual intercourse with her commits a crime.

According to Hong Kong law, it is an offence to have sexual intercourse with a girl under 16. As to whether a person can have sex when he/she reaches the age of 16, there are different opinions. The important thing is sex can have consequences such as unplanned pregnancy, STD and legal responsibilities.

In terms of legal definition, there is no sexual intercourse between two females. If you're talking about legal responsibilities, it depends on the age of the females involved. There had been females committing acts of gross indecency with girls under 16 and incurred criminal liability.

A person is physically capable of having sexual intercourse when they're 16 but that doesn't mean they can do it. In actual fact, it is against the law to have sexual intercourse with a girl under 16. Sex can have consequences such as unplanned pregnancy, STD and legal responsibilities.

Since the male sex organ is an external part of the body and the female sex organ is inside the body, only the male can "enter" the female body in a sexual intercourse. So, in terms of law, only a male can rape a female. A female will not be convicted of rape. But if a man believes that he is forced by a woman having sex, he can take legal action and indict her for gross indecency. For accusation of gross indecency, the law protects both man and woman. In case you feel being sexually harassed or indecently assaulted, do not hesitate to tell your parents, a trusted adult or ask the police for help.

Also, for a girl under 16, the male will have to bear legal responsibility even if this girl agrees or takes the initiative to have sex.

That depends on whether the female consented or not. If the female is forced into sex, the boy will be considered raping the female, no matter what the age of the female is, whether she is under or above 16. The male has to bear criminal responsibility. If the underage male believes that he is passive or being sexually abused, he can report this to the police for help and wait for the judge's decision. Anybody, male or female can take legal action against the other party according to Section 146 on indecent conduct of Chapter 200 Crimes Ordinance of Hong Kong Laws, if they believe that they're being forced into sex.

Some people believe in romantic love with the same sex. Academics have different definitions for romantic love between the same sex.. It is natural that people have different points of view.

STDs are normally transferred in 4 ways - sex acts, wound exposure to body fluid of a person with STD, blood transfusion or a STD infected pregnant mother. If homosexual activity involve exchange of body fluid, or wound exposure to body fluid of a person with STD, STD can be passed from one person to another.

In the medical world, there is as yet no consensus as to the source of STD. Some say they're from virus variants. Others say STDs (like AIDS) may have spread from animals to man. There is no clear answer. If you're interested, you may consult the medical professionals.

STDs are normally transferred in 4 ways.

The first is any kind of sex act, including vaginal intercourse, anal sex, oral sex, etc, which spreads the diseases through exchange of body fluid.
The second is wound exposure to the body fluid of an infected person. For example when the semen of a person with STD comes into contact with a wound inside the vagina during sex or an ulcer in the mouth can also be infected.
The third is blood transfusion. Some STDs like AIDS can be transmitted by blood transfusion or sharing injection equipment.
The fourth is a pregnant mother with STD. Normally, an infected pregnant mother has to have a Cesarean to lower the chance of her baby getting STD when passing through the vagina. If a pregnant woman did not have medical checks to find out whether she was infected or who did not receive treatment, it is possible that her baby will have birth defects as a result of infection during birth.

In actual fact, most STDs are transmitted by sex acts. The more sexual partners you have, the higher chance you get infected. Cherish your body, and take great care in making every decision.

Generally speaking, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) do not spread by normal social activities like sharing food, shaking hands and swimming in public pools.

In fact, most people get infected through sex act. So, be wise and protect yourself.

No. Basically, STDs are transferred in the 4 ways - sexual contact, wound exposure to body fluid of a person with STD, blood transfusion or a STD infected pregnant mother.

However, you must be aware that masturbation can cause other sex organ infections if not done hygienically.

Most of the STDs are transmitted by different kinds of sex acts. But studies also show that the toilet seat can spread STDs. We should be cautious of our personal hygiene by avoiding sitting on the toilet seat of public bathrooms. It is recommended that we should use antiseptic wipes or toilet paper to wipe the toilet seat before sitting onto it.

Please pay attention and see that your vagina and private parts are clean and hygienic. For an irritating itch or if you suspect that you've got STD, consult the doctor immediately.

Whether a person can be infected with STD through sex in marriage depends on the loyalty between husband and wife regarding marriage and sexual partners. If any of the two parties has pre-marital sexual partners, it is possible that he/she enters into the marriage without knowing himself/herself is infected and may spread the disease to the spouse. There is an incubation period for most STDs from three days to eight months and that of AIDS is as long as seven years. On the other hand, if both sides are loyal to each other before and in the marriage and have relationship only with the same partner, they will not be under the threat of STD.

STDs come from bacteria (like syphilis) or viruses (like AIDS or genital warts). Complete cure is possible for STDs if discovered at an early stage and promptly treated but viral STDs cannot be completely cured and can only be treated with surgery or medication. There is always the chance of recurrence. STDs is spread by four ways: sexual intercourse, exposure to the blood of an infected person, blood transfusion and an infected pregnant mother. If you are concerned with your physical condition, consult the doctor immediately.

Non-gonorrhoea urethritis (of the male) and non-gonorrhoea genital infection (of the female) transmitted through sex are one of the most common STDs in Hong Kong. Their symptoms are similar to those of gonorrhoea with the male frequently feeling the need to urinate and a burning sensation when passing urine and also a thick and cloudy discharge at the entrance of the urethra. Most females do not show any symptoms. There are a few who have white vaginal discharge and pain on passing urine. The symptoms of non-gonorrhoea STDs are usually mild but complications are possible. They can be caused by different viruses (commonly by Chlamydia), so consulting the doctor and receiving treatment is vital. Every sexual partner of the infected person has to consult the doctor and undergo treatment at the same time if necessary.

Yes. Every male or female has the chance of getting STD. Genital warts is one of the most common STD in Hong Kong. Whether you're male or female, you can get it through sexual intercourse with an infected person.

In general, most cases are the result of sexual intercourse. More sexual partners actually increase the chance of getting STD. So, be serious with every decision. Don't expose yourself to the risk of STD.

Genital warts is a STD caused by a virus that cannot be completely cured up till the present. The doctor uses freezing or laser surgery to remove the infected parts, but this only controls the condition. The infection is not cured. Not only is there no cure for viral infected STDs, but they can reoccur at any time. There is not yet a method that guarantees 100% contraception and prevents STD. Therefore, think before you act.

As with the case of other medical condition, if you suspect that you're infected with STD, seek help from a hospital or a qualified doctor. You can also visit a social hygiene clinic run by the Department of Health.

The menstrual cycle of a female is affected by pressure, eating habits, emotion and medication. Your delayed period may be due to these factors. If there is any concern, please consult your doctor.

Almost every female experiences menstrual pain which is especially common among young girls. So, don't be worried by it. Common methods of easing the pain include using a heat pad or taking painkillers but these can only reduce the symptoms.

Some think it impossible for the same sex to have romantic love. If you have a question about your sexual orientation, you may want to talk it over with somebody you trust, whether they're among the older generation or social workers.

Everybody wants to love and to be loved. Nowadays people tend to choose their partners by their outward appearance. Apart from physical attraction, a relationship depends also on communication, mutual respect, understanding, acceptance as well as the values and expectation they share regarding romantic love. The best way is to start with friendship and try to know more about the background, character and personality of the boy. You can also pay attention to how he deals with people and things in daily life before deciding on a closer relationship.

Please note that different people think differently about "sex" and "love". Some believe that sex does not necessarily involve love or love does not necessarily involve sex. Think about people who are involved in prostitution. There's probably no love between these people. On the other hand, sex is only one of the ways to show love, but not the only way.

Apart from physical attraction, a relationship depends also on communication, mutual respect, understanding, acceptance as well as the values and expectation they share regarding romantic love. The best way is to start with friendship and try to know more about the background, character and personality of the boy. You can also pay attention to how he deals with people and things in daily life before deciding on a closer relationship.

I believe you're asking about how to say no to a partner for sex. There are many ways to refuse. The first thing is you need to know is your values and view on sex. If someone asks for an action that you do not want, make known your view, and leave, if necessary. There is no need to feel embarrassed. Leaving the scene is most expressive of what you think. Note that sex is not equal to love, and loving somebody doesn't mean the two of you must have sex. If the other party truly loves you, he will respect your choice. You and your partner will need to think about it first. See if the two of you are prepared for consequences of sex, such as unplanned pregnancy, STD or legal responsibilities. Have an honest discussion and set the boundary for body contact.
