Opinion: Parents should talk to children about sex
Sexual pathologist and psychotherapist Marat Zakaryan recommends remembering the 10 commandments of safe sex.
"You should not be drunk, you should know who you are making love to, etc," he said.
The specialist says that people under 17 must not have sexual intercourse.
"Parents and teachers should talk to children about sex. Also, there are lots of books available about sex education. Never should children try to find information on the Internet or mobile phones. Today 7-8-grade children take mobile phones to school because they have scenes of sexual nature in their phones. During the lessons they spread the scenes throughout the class. This is leading to degradation, says dermato-venereologist Samvel Hovhannisyan.
New types of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have been noted recently. "Simultaneously, the risk of contracting syphilis has significantly reduced," he said.
The specialists remind that STIs can lead to infertility in men and women, at the same time noting that sexual infection is not a death sentence.
