A pesar de que a sexualidade é unha parte importante, unha necesidade básica do ser humano que non se pode separar dos demais aspectos vitais, houbo sempre un absoluto descoido en España no referente á educación neste campo. La ausencia de plans de educación sexual na escola que se adapten de maneira paulatina aos ciclos formativos da persoa na infancia e na adolescencia, a escaseza de coñecementos dos propios pais, a falta de formación de educadores e mestres e o influxo distorsionador dos medios de comunicación dificultan a posta en marcha dun plan adecuado do cal non existen nin trazas a día de hoxe. O concepto de saúde sexual implica un plantexamento positivo da sexualidade humana. Tal e como sinala a Organización Mundial da Saúde, “o obxectivo dos coidados de saúde sexual debería ser a mellora da vida e das relacións persoais, non só o asesoramento e os coidados relacionados coa procreación e coas doenzas sexuais”.
Even though sexuality is an important issue, a basic human need that cannot be separated from other vital aspects of life, there has been an absolute negligence in Spain as to education in this field. The lack of a sexual education plan at school that gradually adapts to the different phases of childhood and teenagehood, the lack of knowledge from the parents side, the lack of training for teachers and the distorted influence that the media has, specially television (genitalisation, the praise of sexual intercourse, old-fashioned roles, the use of women as sexual objects, male-chauvinism...) are some of the difficulties found when wanting to put into practice an adequate plan, of which there is no sign of at present.
The concept of sexual health implies a positive way of thinking about human sexuality. As is quoted by the World Health Organization "the object of concern of sexual health should be the improval in our lives and in our personal relationhip and not only the counselling related to procreation and to sexual diseases".
