| Scouts may be taken on trips to sexual health clinics after new guidance was issued to help young people Be Prepared. The visits are suggested for explorer scouts aged 14 to 18 in the advice issued today by The Scouting Association. Chief Scout Peter Duncan said: “We must be realistic and accept that around a third of young people are sexually active before 16 and many more start relationships at 16 and 17. | |

| A new survey released in September showed that more than a quarter of self described “active Christian women” have experienced sexually inappropriate behaviour, and a quarter of those place the incident inside church settings. The survey by NationalChristianPoll.com asked nearly 800 women about such inappropriate behaviour as sexual advances, touching or sexual contact, suggestive jokes, glances with sexual overtones and demeaning comments. | |

| The Government in February introduced a review of sex education in schools – and has said that it is considering providing sex education to children at younger ages and scrapping parents’ rights to withdraw their children from sex education lessons. A panel made up of representatives of organisations, including the Family Planning Association and the Terrence Higgins Trust, will examine the messages to be taught and at what ages they should be taught. They will make recommendations to the Government later this year without the public being consulted. A survey of 2,000 teachers by the Times Educational Supplement found that two-thirds of primary teachers thought parents should lose their right to withdraw children from sex education classes. | |

| What seemed like a relatively low-profile consultation gained a significant public profile when Christian lobby groups presented a proposal to the Scottish Law Commissions (SLC) 2007 Report on Rape and Sexual Offences. The SLC’s most controversial recommendation centred on the protection of vulnerable individuals, specifically children. The Commission suggests that younger children (13-16 year olds) have the capacity to consent to sexual activity and recommends that, while “the law should not be seen as ignoring or condoning sexual conduct between young people”, getting the criminal court and law involved is “not the appropriate response”. Whiel referring a child to a special children’s hearing may perhaps help promote the welfare of the child, the lack of a legal dimension surely sends a clear mssage that the law is no longer intersted in the principle that vulnerable persons are protected. While a young person may be physically mature enough to engage in sexual activity, this may not be matched by emotional capability. A child is more vulnerable to exploitation because of their age and therefore lacks the capacity eithe to give or withhold consent. Arguably if the proposals went through, children aged 13 – 16 would be encouraged to engage in sexual experimentation. | |

| Four in ten women would rather go shopping than have sex, researchers say. And half of those who have been married for 20 years or more would happily get by without any at all. The statistics may sound like an insult to their husbands. But there is some good news for men – 72 per cent of wives still fancy their partners, giving them seven out of ten or higher on the scale of sexual attractiveness. Nor does the figure diminish with age. More than half of those who have been married for 20 years agree. | |
