Quite pitiable
City-based model Krishna Somani says that she was in her college when she got
correct information about sex and related issues. She adds, "In the school it
was only through the text books that I came to know about the reproductive
system and when I was in the college, I learnt about contraceptives and STDs."
The 20-plus girl agrees that she was a little late in seeking awareness about
sex-related issues and attributes it to the conservative nature of the society.
Budding actor Shweta Prasad, who is on the threshold of womanhood, says that
she is embarrassed to talk on 'this' issue. She admits that in case she has a
physical problem or wants to know something about sex, she would rather discuss
it with her mother than her friends.
"I really don't have the urge to know more than what is being taught to me in
Class X and what I see on the television. I will learn about 'these things'
with time," says she. Ask her whether she is OK with pre-marital sex or browses
the net to get more information on the topic, and she replies, "It's too early
for me to indulge in such things."
'I am experienced'
Model Shawar Ali admits that even as a teenager, he was quite inquisitive about
girls and sex, even though his knowledge was limited to theoretical sphere
only.
He adds in a matter-of-fact manner, "Today I am 30 and yet unmarried, but I am
quite experienced and believe in satisfying my partners. I am aware about the
correct usage of condoms and other sex-related aspects."
