She sounded the alarm about young people's sex habits: Many are in pain every time

In a popular post on social media, Katarina Svensson Flood talks about how she often meets girls of high school age who have more or less pain during intercourse.

And that despite the pain, they continue to have sex.

- I described what I think I encounter far too often at my job, she says.

Stands up despite reluctance

She believes that young girls often show up for things they do not really want.

That they sometimes have sex without feeling like it and that there is a widespread perception that sex should hurt.

"It really feels like it is more important for someone to turn on one than to be turned on by oneself," she wrote in the post, which was widely circulated on Facebook and Instagram, among other places.

She believes that many young people do not get enough information about their rights and sexuality.

- I think that the school's sex education is lacking and that parents do not talk to their children to a sufficient extent about relationships and consent.

The very accessible internet pornography from which many young people can get their inspiration and information is also a problem, she says.

Many recognize themselves

The response to the post has been great.

Among those who have heard of it are both young people who describe how they recognize themselves but also people who question whether the picture is really true.

When asked how big she feels the problem is, she answers: "far too big".

- I would say that every week we encounter young people who have this problem.

Then I can not answer for the rest of Sweden but what I have seen is that colleagues around the country describe that they recognize this very well.

Some see it daily, others less often. 

Unequal sex education

Katarina Svensson Flood thinks that sex education needs a boost.

In addition, more parents should talk to their children about relationships, she believes.

- I experience that many young people feel pressured to push their limits and that you can be seen as boring if you do not want to try new things.

You must of course explore your sexuality, but you must remember that pleasure must come first.
