Thank God that there is some common sense on stop and search Sadiq Khan would say unknowingly of consequences that saying stop and search is rasism and step backwards for social cohesion.

Wouldn’t it be nice if Eamon actually listened and then there would be no need to shout at the reporter.

Sex education is a major problem. When and where and at what age should children be taught about sex? All humans have sexual feelings at a variety of ages. Some is learnt from friends, some is learnt from an increasing number of films and dramas on television, some is learnt from access to pornography. The problem is that the context of early learning fails to warn children about sexual abuse, the real dangers of becoming pregnant at too young an age, and the importance of need for building long term relationships without any sexual involvement. Sex is an activity designed to keep the human race from dying out. Unfortunately, it is an activity that is pleasurable, however, it is an activity that is used in some circumstances as a means of control by both sexes. Most males are 'ever ready', less concerned about a true long term close relationship and encouraged to 'be prepared for opportunities. Females are driven more by hormones being vulnerable at around 15 - 16 days after the start of their period, when they are most likely to have strong sexual feelings at a time when they are most likely to fall pregnant. All females should be warned about this venerability.

Recognising that children may discover their own sexual feelings at different ages and depending on when discussion with friends or exposure to sexual information on television, printed material or the internet, the most important issue that should be taught is any sexual approach by any other human should never be allowed because of lack of respect by others, the health dangers of early sexual experimentation and nobody has the right to groom children with bribes in order to encourage any sexual contact, until children are old enough to evaluate how strong a relationship has been established. To enable anyone to reach a point and age when sexual contact is safe and acceptable, is unlikely to happen until the accepted minimum 17 year old boundary has arrived. However, evaluation of the strength of a relationship at 17 may in some cases be too early and grooming may still play a part in the encouragement of a sexual encounter. In reality, most humans are guilty of grooming prior to a proposal for marriage, where the sexual aspect of a potential marriage is important to either or both considering a long term relationship.

As homes have smaller footprints and in many case, a single bedroom home for a family becomes more common, it is inevitable that children will observe sexual activity between parents. In primitive societies, where very basic single room dwellings are common, children see sexual activities as normal, and often engage in similar activities not only with other children, but sadly also with adults. Explicit sexual material is on the increase which further complicates the issue.

So where does this help in the decision to teach sexual issues to children? The other problem is that children discover pleasurable feelings when touching and rubbing their own sexual areas and this can then cause them to discuss and compare experiences and physical differences with others. Females tend to be told they are sluts, if they engage in sexual activities whereas males tend to be encouraged to notch up as many conquests as possible to be macho. Respect for each other and reserving sexual activity until a long term relationship has been established confirms the respect. Many societies expect no sexual activity is acceptable, until after the marriage ceremony. In any event, having children is a major commitment, both socially and economically and it is understood that 84% of all births are unplanned.The pressures of ones own sexual feelings and of others in the same community are a major problem. Sexual activities between a male and female that have many similar interests and similar educational, religious and hobbies are more important than a few minutes sexual gratification.
