Helping children understand sex, facilitating parents to resolve "heartaches," a group of college students in Zhengzhou, a city in Henan Province, organized themselves and posted notices and wished to help pubescent youths to absorb sex related knowledge through "tutorials" so they can escape the confusion of sexual maturation. The appearance of "sex tutorial" has drawn the attention of different groups in Zhengzhou, with half in favor and half against.

Two days ago, a poster appeared in a certain residential district in Zhengzhou. Someone would like to start "sex tutorial lessons" inside homes, to assist young people with supplemental sex related knowledge. Those who posted the note were five college students in a certain college in Zhengzhou, the initiator a third-year female student.

It was revealed that this group of students used to do homework tutorials and discovered that many young people developed problems related to puberty. To give it a try, they decided to use what they know to help these young people to properly understand what happens to their bodies during puberty, to take the proper first step in life.

It is known that these "sex tutorials" participants are five college students, three females and two males. Besides explaining their own sex related knowledge, their tutorial would include how to help children set up self confidence, and prevent children from becoming isolated. It was said that at present many parents have set up appointments with these college students.

After this matter surfaced, many local residents reacted to this poster. Some parents welcome it and believe that puberty has a major impact on their children's growing up and should receive serious attention. These parents tend to be more open-minded and have better financial foundation. Most other parents feel, however, that the questions faced by young people in puberty are basically not problems and will resolve by themselves as time passes by. Some other people voice skepticism about the ability of these college students.

Relevant experts said that "sex tutorial" can be entertained, the key being whether the tutorial is taught by people with good personal qualities and rich knowledge of life.
