Abstract

People tend to divide human experience into spiritual and earthly, soul and body, pure and corrupt, wholesome and harmful. However, such over-simplified dichotomies encourage people to strive to preserve their purity and spirituality at the expense of the physical side of life, not realizing the intimate connection between the two (which is seen, for example, in the case of erotic love). We can only escape from such dualistic thinking by a detailed consideration of desirable forms of life. Thus in sex education the role of the teacher is precisely to share forms of life with children, in order to prepare them for close relationships in adulthood and give them some understanding of love and the emotions.
