It Is Never Too Early - Sexuality, Education And Youth by Doortje Braeken, Youth Consultant, International Planned Parenthood Federation 

For young people sex is a thrilling subject. They romanticise it, seeing it as a source of joy, but at the same time they can be very afraid of it. By the age of 16 half of the young folk in the world have had sexual intercourse. Acknowledging this, parents, educators and health professionals should want to support young people at the beginning of their sexual careers, but instead they often deliver them all kinds of messages, ranging from "do not do it", through "wait until you are married," to "sex is fun as long as you do it in a safe and honest way."
