Sexual Ignorance

Working whole night on camera drivers was driving me crazy, soon all the guys around started talking about what boys generally talk about, SEX. But today the talk was on some different aspect of sex, it was about sexual ignorance.

One dark night a documentary on AIDS was being telecasted on TV, being a 4th grade student, i couldn't follow anything except, there is a disease called AIDS and condom prevents it, as they didn't show how a condom looks like and how it is used, I thought condom is some medicine. Next morning I walked to my dad and asked him, "Papa, if condom can prevent AIDS, then why do people die from AIDS, why don't they just eat condoms?" I don't remember how exactly my father reacted to it, but i remembered the incidence because this new mysterious medicine was almost everywhere, in newspapers, magazines and now on TV.

Still unclear about what this medicine was, I often wondered how it looked, was it a tablet or a capsule? If a capsule, what it enclosed, the capsule for common cold had small colorful balls enclosed, I wished even condom had such colored balls. Soon later, I lost interest in the topic because i had many things in life to do, but it always remained in back of my mind.

In grade six, my attention was drawn towards an advertisement by Kamasutra condoms, the picture was irresistibly lascivious and depicted a women hugging a man with her finger nails dug deep into his back and next to it was printed "condom prevents AIDS". I thought, while having sexual intercourse if the finger nails of a women dig too deep into the skin (as shown in the advertisement) and if it bruises the body, it may cause AIDS. The most obvious method to avoid this is to either clip nails before intercourse or cover the nails. How to cover the nails? Simple, use condoms, i.e. condoms are some kind of thing which needs to be worn on fingers to avoid AIDS. Later I realized though I was wrong in interpreting it, but I was on right track.

A friend of mine, after reading about a police raid at some place asked his dad, what did the word prostitute meant. With growing popularity of massage parlor, this same friend of mine believes that massage parlor is one of the fastest methods to earn money; once an ignorant now wants to open a business (I am sure he won't, this was just a result of drinking too much alcohol).

Another friend of mine believed; females have hair only on head. Later in some movie he probably found hair at some never seen place which contradicted his belief and he thought the actress was a transsexual and was really offended by the movie.


I think it's high time not to have introduced sex education in India and it must be made compulsory with immediate effects, else people spend a considerable amount of there age being ignorant.
