Male Sexual Education in Chile: An Urgent Need

Abstract

The lack of male sex education in Chile is a major problem. Young men are generally not considered in conversations about sex education, as they are focused on reproduction. This lack of tools leaves adolescent men without the ability to approach their sexuality in a responsible and healthy way, which leads to dangerous behaviors, such as turning to pornography for information, acting according to social impositions, among others. In addition, the lack of training of sexual health personnel to treat young men is highlighted.
