Sexuele Voorlichting (English title: Puberty: Sexual Education for Boys and Girls

  • Anatomy and Physiology: Understanding the human body's sexual and reproductive systems.
  • Sexual Health: Information on how to maintain sexual health, including prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and guidance on contraception.
  • Consent: Teaching about the importance of consent in sexual relationships, emphasizing mutual respect and the right to say no.
  • Relationships: Exploring different types of relationships, communication skills, and emotional aspects of sexual interactions.

For anyone researching sex education history, Belgian media, or simply revisiting their own awkward school days, this video offers a valuable window into how we taught (and continue to teach) one of life’s most essential subjects.

Dergelijke films waren in de jaren 90 onderdeel van een specifieke stroming in de seksuele voorlichting die streefde naar volledige openheid en het wegnemen van taboes rondom het menselijk lichaam.
