After Kerala High Court's Remark On Consent, Top College Holds Sex Ed Class
NDTV
The session comes little over a week after the Kerala High Court observed that boys should not touch a girl or a woman without her explicit consent.
"Why is consent so important in sex?" asked Nirmal, a second year BA student at a prominent college in Kerala during a sexuality education programme held on the campus.
The 19-year-old wanted to know if there is anything wrong in being honest about his sexual feelings towards a girl on the campus.
"If I have feelings towards a girl, why should I be ashamed about expressing it?" asked the teenager, matter-of-factly.
At a time when talking openly about sex is still considered taboo, around 100 students at the famous University College Thiruvananthapuram, sharing seats with the opposite sex, showed that talking about sex was as much a part of their well-being as much as their right.
