“…Although there was consensus that FLE programs were important, support for sexuality education had fractured, and discussions of sexuality education in Family Relations waned. Shornack and Shornack (1982) argued that adolescents lacked the emotional maturity to learn about or engage in sexual activity. Their position was heavily criticized as being “based on factual inaccuracies” (Kirkendall, 1982, p. 545) and a “retreat to medievalism” (Scales, 1983, p. 294).…”

As a fundamental aspect of the human experience, sexuality is experienced at every stage in the life span. Sexual values, behaviors, and health are important components of individual and family well‐being. Educating about such a fundamental aspect of life is both obvious and crucial. In this article, we consider the potential of sexuality education in the field and profession of family life education (FLE). We critique sexuality education in the United States and the marginal place of human sexuality in the FLE field. We then offer recommendations for incorporating life span, socioecological, family systems, and intersectionality perspectives into sexuality education, and recommendations for FLE and sexuality education research and practice. We argue that educating about sexuality in the context of FLE—and activating the profession of FLE for sexuality education—will strategically advance sexuality education, sexual health, and the field of FLE.

There can be conservative critique of the celebration of diverse sexualities and tolerance of lifestyles deemed immoral by various religions (Shornack & Shornack, 1982).…”

Sexuality education debates are layered with discourses based on markedly different constructions of sexuality. Rather than seeing these discourses as purely oppositional, this article frames them as complex and varied. It provides a new framework for understanding sexuality education which differentiates 28 discourses by orientation to education, whether conservative, liberal, critical, or postmodern. Their key assumptions, school-based approaches, sexuality frameworks, authorities, and methods are detailed. The article argues the value of considering multiple approaches and postmodern perspectives. This framework provides an introduction to sexuality education for those new to it and a fresh (re)conceptualisation of the field for other readers.
