"SHHH...!!! WE DON'T TALK ABOUT IT"

“SHHH.…!!! WE DON’T TALK ABOUT  IT”

Oh! Yes we are talking about…..sex,condoms ,masturbation etc.. 

Well,This is a very common expression by most of the Indians.When it comes to talk about condoms which are a taboo subjects in India. The topic of sex or precautionary measures Such as condoms is generally avoided in the public places or otherwise.

This raises a question that ….WHY IN INDIA SEX AND CONDOMS ARE CONSIDERED AS A TABOO?

Indians are morally snobbish and utter hypocrites. They consider Sex to be a very base act which is in eyes of religion a sin and this makes them apprehensive of anything remotely related to Sex.Which is why there is much felt dearth of Sex related knowledge in India.

This happens because of various reasons. As far as the parents are not educating their children when it comes to this things in an extension of their fear that talking about such a profane and licentious matter will corrupt cause them to have a desire of having Sex.

I am sure you must have noticed that whenever Condoms, Sanitary napkins or any such embarrassing advertisement comes often you find a silence for a  second in the room or you or your parents leave the room…….this step of not giving your child proper sex education however backfire. Since children are attracted by the lust for the forbidden and think that sex must be terribly exciting. They therefore in frenzied fascination take steps which they later regret Sexism,Homophobia, SexuallyTransmitted Diseases are due to lack of knowledge about Sex.

Parents should sit and talk about it to their children's openly and by provide proper Sex education to them.

The only way to cure this problem by enforcing Sex education and inculcating healthy and open views towards Sex and nowadays celebrities have also started endorsing Condom ads and spreading awareness like:- sunny leoney endorsing man force and ranbir singh durex.

A condom is nothing but a tube made of thin flexible material. It is closed at one  end. Condoms have been used for hundreds of years to prevent pregnancy by keeping a man’s semen out of a women’s vagina.most condoms today are latex or polyurethane.Condoms also helps in preventing diseases that are spread by semen or by contact with infected sores in the genital area, including HIV.A new type of condom was designed to fit into a woman’s vagina.This ‘female’ condom can also be used to protect the rectum.

 These advertisement are useful because any advertisement so long as it does not taboo sex or portray it in very lusty shades is bound to spread awareness.
