| dc.description.abstract | While sex positive thinking is up and coming, pleasure is an issue still neglected in education,
policy and research. Using data from the ‘Sex under 25’ study of Rutgers, this research tested
the assumption that the comprehensiveness of sex education is associated with the perceived
sexual pleasure of adolescents. Participants filled in a questionnaire on the topics they
discussed during school based sex education and the quality of their sexual experiences. The
sample included 6.186 participants. In this data no significant correlation was found between
the comprehensiveness of sex ed and perceived pleasure. However, there was a positive
correlation between both parent and peer communication and pleasure. With the current
limitations of this analysis, a correlation between CSE and pleasure can’t be ruled out,
therefore more research is necessary. | |
