性教育 TEACHING SEXUALITY 沒有事實根據的論點 Myths 性教育和性知識會增加性活動。 Sex education and sexual knowledge increases sexual activity. 性是猥瑣、污穢和應該避免的。 Sex is nasty, dirty and to be avoided. 如果你告訴孩子太多性知識，他們會感到困惑和心煩意亂。 If you tell kids too much they just get confused & upset.

一般的原則 GENERAL PRINCIPLES 3 回答要簡潔 Answer Simply 暫停所做的事，認真處理兒女所發的問題。 Stop and think what the child is asking 兒女若問媽媽為什麼肚子裡有嬰兒時，媽媽就要直接解答這個問題，而不用向他解釋什麼是月經(月事)。 If the child asks about babies, don’t explain about menstruation

一般的原則 GENERAL PRINCIPLES 6 主動提出討論 Initiate Discussion 如果兒女從來不問你有關性問題，你要主動提出討論，不應該他們不問，你就不理會。 If your child does not ask a single question about sex, initiate the discussion

手淫 Facts about Masturbation 聖經對這個問題沒有任何啟示 The Bible is silent on this subject 醫生聲明手淫不會損害健康。 Medical doctors declare the practice harmless to health 父母卻可以向子女提出以下的理由，解釋為什麼他們認為手淫不應該是基督徒的行為 Parents could suggest the following reasons by they feel masturbation is unacceptable for Christians.

為何手淫是不能接受 Why Masturbation is Unacceptable 用手玩弄性器官時通常都會帶來性幻想和淫蕩的思想，而聖經很清楚地譴責這類思想(太5：28)。 Fantasizing & lustful thinking are usually involved and the Bible condemns such thoughts (Matt 5:28)

為何手淫是不能接受 Why Masturbation is Unacceptable 性愛是上帝專為兩個異性的人而設，讓他們互相倚靠雙方的合作而做出性愛的行為。手淫卻是自我滿足，享受不到這種互相配合的經驗。 Sexual expression was designed by God to be performed jointly by two people of the opposite sex, resulting in a necessary and healthy dependence on each other for the experience.

為何手淫是不能接受 Why Masturbation is Unacceptable 林前7：9說：「與其慾火攻心，倒不如嫁娶為妙。」。若然一位年青男子有手淫的習慣，那麼，從婚姻生活所得到的那種性滿足，對他來說，便毫無意義。 It violates 1 Cor 7:9: it is better to marry than to burn. If a young person masturbates frequently, it tends to nullify a necessary and important motivation for marriage

為何手淫是不能接受 Why Masturbation is Unacceptable 一般人在手淫後都會感到罪惡感。這種罪惡感會影響屬靈生命成長。 Guilt is a universal aftermath of masturbation. Such guilt interferes with spiritual growth. 在婚前已經有手淫的習慣，當婚後夫婦的性生活出現不協調時，他便很容易倚賴這習慣來得到性滿足而不去改善夫婦的性關係。 It creates a habit before marriage that can easily be resorted to afterward as a cop-out when both partners have sexual conflicts

總結Conclusion 孩子們必須知道「性」既是美麗，但又是遭到破壞。因為我們所住的地球，也是既美麗，又遭到破壞。 Children need to know that sex is both beautiful and broken. Because we live in a world that is both beautiful and broken,

總結Conclusion 「性」當然也不能倖免。但我們作為基督徒，卻可以做出明智而有見識的選擇，使我們享受美麗而蒙福的人生。 sexuality has not escaped, but we can make intelligent and informed choices that will help us, as Christians, stay in the realm of the beautiful and blessed.
