We can't keep ourselves away from doing evil,the very moment we lose innocence. William Blake said if we retain our spiritual resilience with joy we can keep the innocence as long as we live on earth. And we need to learn how to make ourselves believe In goodness and use our ethics to cope with experiences. Sign up Sign in.

I suspect that a lot of people would rethink their attitudes to sex education if they fully realised how powerful media influences are in shaping attitudes to sex and intimacy. Even if children are not allowed to watch television, they cannot be protected from the sexual imagery in window displays and card shops and billboards.

Whether adults like it or not, young people are being fed a diet of instant romance and immediate gratification. One result is that children who become sexually curious at puberty are given unrealistic expectations about intimacy.

The belief that sex should be uninhibited, spontaneous and earth shattering the first time is widespread among teenagers. Some adults also buy into the myth and feel deprived because the earth never seems to move.

Of course it is healthy for teenagers to have romantic expectations, wanting their first experience to be with someone really special. However it is worrying that so many expect to have several sexual partners. A lot of young people are honest enough to admit that they do not expect to marry the first person with whom they have sex. Relationships and Sexuality Education should make young people aware of the serious risks attached to engaging in sex with different partners.

Many of these programmes show explicit sexual activity. Don't assume children are innocent and ignorant about what is going on some certainly are not. Girls and boys who watch television may learn about pregnancy and childbirth from beautifully made documentary programmes. They may also learn about sexual problems and perverted sexual behaviour if a parent is not vigilant. If children are playing in the room when a parent or childminder is watching an afternoon chat show, they may hear adult discussions on the most intimate details of people's sexual lives, bad and even perverted experiences.

Promotional clips for adult programmes are also shown on afternoon television in multi channel areas. Recently I met some parents who were shocked to discover little girls, as young as eight or nine years old, putting naked dolls like Barbie and Ken into bed together.

When asked to explain what they were doing the children said things like "they are sexing", "they are having a sex", "they are going to make baby".
