Sexual behavior has changed during the last decades. Teenage fertility rate, and the number of gonococcal infections are both extremely high; the incidence of HIV-infections is increasing. Preventive measures include sex education. Sex education may help the adolescents to identify their own goals for sexual behavior, to avoid unintended and unwanted pregnancy, and to avoid sexually transmitted diseases.

PIP: Data indicate that in the US 10-20% of boys and 5-10% of girls have their 1st sexual intercourse at age 14 and 50% at age 17 during which 70% do not use safe contraception. In 1981 a total of 1 million teenagers became pregnant, and 400,000 underwent abortion. The incidence of gonorrhea is 1300/100,000 among adolescents aged 15-19, and AIDS is spreading among this age group. The role of sex education is vital in providing the right information mainly through the school, as parents often feel uneasy about the topic, and youth organization and religious community groups tend to be too ideological. The teachers have to be well-versed in the topic, but teams of doctors and social workers can also help with practical experience. The curriculum includes the biological basics, sexually transmitted diseases and their prevention, contraceptives, and responsible sexual behavior. Topics for discussion consist of choosing a partner, risk groups, prostitutes, promiscuity, drug use, homosexuality, condoms, and nonoxynol-containing vaginal sponges. Contraceptives include conventional methods (coitus interruptus, Knaus-Ogino, Billings, and basal temperature methods); barrier methods (condom, diaphragm, cervical cap); the IUD; highly effective hormonal contraception (low-dose estrogen and gestagen-containing pills are especially suitable for young people, but cyproteroneacetate-containing combination pills, pure gestagen-component minipills, and depot-gestagen pills also have to be considered); and postcoital measures (day-after pill, Yuzpe method, day-after IUD) that are least used because of moral and religious reasons.
