For high school students who have sexual worries and anxieties, a group of obstetricians and gynecologists in Saitama Prefecture has created a handbook to answer their worries and has it published on the Internet.

This handbook called "#Connected Book" was created by a group of obstetricians and gynecologists and former school nurses involved in sex education in Saitama Prefecture as part of a national research project.



The group has been going to high school to give lectures on sex education, but the new Corona has reduced that opportunity.

Even under such circumstances, in order to convey correct sexual knowledge to children, the handbook provides information such as advice and consultation on five themes such as "menstruation", "pregnancy" and "sexually transmitted diseases".

Of these, the page that answers your worries about sexual activity calls for the importance of thinking at your own pace and expressing your intentions about sexual activity with the person you are dating.



One of the members, Dr. Sachiko Takahashi, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Saitama Medical University Hospital, said, "I think that when you are alone at home, you are often confused by various information on the Internet. I want you to make use of. "



"#Connected BO0K" is also available on the Internet.
