Vagina and penis.
Can you read it out loud? Instead of disguising gag or bluff emotions, read it in your usual tone.
There should be a lot of people who ca n’t say anything. In traditional ideas, sex is shameful and cannot be discussed openly; for sex, ignorance is pure. Even if a case of child sexual assault highlights the importance of child sex education, what should be taught to child sex education, and how to carry out child sex education in practice, has rarely been discussed openly.
Some people think that sex education is to tell children not to let others touch some parts. Some people think that sex education is about talking about sex. According to the “International Technical Guidelines for Sex Education” issued by UNESCO, sex education has a wealth of content, including physical rights, gender equality, interpersonal relationships, health, well-being, dignity, etc.
China is the first country in the world to localize the “Guidelines for International Education Technology” and publish a full set of sex education teaching materials for primary schools. However, this set of sex education books called “Treasure of Life-Primary School Student’s Sexual Health Education Reader” (“Treasure of Life”) : In 2017, a parent in Hangzhou publicly questioned that the “Treasure of Life” scale was too large; in 2019, some media accused “Treasure of Life” to promote homosexuality. Later, “Treasure of Life” was forced to be removed. Currently the reader is still under revision and there are no plans to re-list it.
On the one hand, it is recognized and praised by domestic and foreign sex education experts and practitioners, on the one hand, it is parents’ doubts and accusations from the outside world. Sex-related issues always seem to be controversial. The focus of controversy is different, but the core can be summed up in one sentence-how should we view sex?
Is it a chicken or a penis?
In “Treasure of Life”, the child was not picked up in the trash, popped out of the stone or sent tolls, but “father and mother love each other”, “father’s penis is put into mother’s vagina” , “The father’s sperm enters the mother’s womb”, “The sperm and egg cells combine to form a fertilized egg”, “The fertilized egg settles in the mother’s womb”.

The book “Treasure of Life” always uses scientific names to refer to reproductive organs. The reason why the word used is “put in” instead of “insert”, the editor-in-chief Professor Liu Wenli explained that this is because the second-year students have not yet learned that the penis will become hard and hard (The penis knowledge of penis erection will be mentioned in the fifth grade readers) , and the normal state of penis weakness they understand makes them unable to understand how the penis” inserts “into the vagina.
In 2017, some parents took this part of the content and posted it on Weibo, questioning the reading of “the scale is too large”, and also writing “Is sure this school is not a fake book?” After the report, it aroused public discussion about child sex education.
At that time, the research team wrote an article in response, “When the scientific name of a body organ cannot be said from everyone’s mouth, can the structure and function of this organ be correctly described? When a child suffers sexual abuse, he even It is unclear where it is touched and how can it be effectively protected? “

Since 2007, Liu Wenli, the head of the Children ’s Sex Education Group of Beijing Normal University, has used “Treasure for Life” as a teaching experiment in the Beijing Migrant Students School. Before the class starts, Liu Wenli will take the task team to train teachers in various schools. Due to the limited teachers in the school for working children, there is no full-time mental health teacher. The teachers who come to the training include Chinese, mathematics, English, art, sports, etc. Although the professional directions are different, teachers all face a common problem-being ashamed to speak.
During the training, in order to pass the “opening” pass, Liu Wenli let the teachers meditate the words “penis” and “vaginal” in their hearts, and then whispered, said to the teacher next to each other, “Just started (Teachers) I am really embarrassed, my face is flushed, I said, you must say it, at least let the people around you hear “After one-on-one practice, Liu Wenli asked the teachers to come to the stage voluntarily to speak to all the teachers who participated in the training. At first, the teachers were a little bit reluctant to stand up. With the encouragement of Liu Wenli, some teachers got up and stood on the podium. Although they seemed embarrassed, they finally bravely said these so-called “sensitive” words.
