Sexuality education moves forward in Russia
Article Abstract:
Russia is witnessing the emergence of public associations on family planning and work related to the prevention of HIV/AIDS. The sexuality educational program of the Russian Sexology Association includes 238 classroom hours from fifth to eleventh grades. However, Russia's educational system lacks the expertise to train and prepare students in sexuality. The present aim is to train people in social-psychological methodology. Russia is facing problems since sexuality education was not encouraged before, and was discussed only in scientific terms.

Sweden looks anew at ways to reach and teach its young people about sexuality
Article Abstract:
Swedish people are taking an open and positive view of sexuality to construct educational programs for helping youth identify with the information. The Ministry of Education provides schools with a reference book of methods, subjects, literature, and films about sexuality education. Sexuality education also focuses on teenagers to make them understand that the ongoing physical changes and their experiences are normal. The Swedish Association for Sex Education has opened a separate clinic for men to address their sexuality-related needs.
