Introduction
Sex education is knowledge about everything related to gender ranging from sex
growth to its function. Also, it covers many aspects, namely, one's thoughts, feelings,
attitudes, and behavior. Sex education is also an effort to transfer of knowledge and value
regarding physical - genetic and functions, especially related to sex. Whereas, according to
WHO in Naz (2014), sex education is the integration of the physical, emotional,
intellectual, and social aspects of sexual being, in ways that are positively enriching and
that enhance personality, communication, and love. Every person has a right to receive
sexual information and to consider accepting sexual relationships for pleasure as well as
for procreation.
This transfer of knowledge and value is an effort to teach, awaken and explain sex
problems for 12 year olds who are compulsory to understand comprehensively and be
protected from moral decadence. Roqib (2018) suggests that the sex education process
should be started from childhood by considering the character formation at that time.
Digital devices for children's lives today have shifted them into primary needs in all
educational activities. This has become a new lifestyle that cannot be separated. This also
significantly affects a child's psychology. These challenges and demands considerably
require an informative and educative digital assistance model, especially related to sex
knowledge.
Pittman (2019) mentioned that sex education belongs in the public school
curriculum is a matter of considerable debate. Proponents argue that better sex education
efforts may reduce the alarming incidence of adolescent pregnancy, and they believe too
few schools offer sex education. The massive implementation of sex education for 12 years

1
old compulsory education students is still perceived as a taboo thing, especially by most
less educated people. This is experienced by most parents in the city of Malang
(Maimunah, 2017). In fact, in this disruptive era, the use of digital-based media has
become a primary need, especially among students aged 12 years of compulsory
education. Worries that arise have even become a particular concern for the elderly,
namely access to information about sex which is very easy to find through android media
of students.
Positive and negative impacts always exist. This depends on pedagogic and
spiritual intelligences in the use of the media. However, consciously, many 12-year
compulsory education students fall into the trap of moral degradation due to access to sex
information, especially pornography, which is difficult to prevent in this digital age.
Today, the problem of sex for students is no longer closed information along with the
development of digitalization. This is evidenced by the easy intensity of access to digital
information about sex, both audio and visual. The challenge of digitalization has been felt
by all ages, especially the age of twelve-year compulsory education students from
elementary school to high school level who are very vulnerable if it is not balanced with
understanding and educational information. This is a counterweight between the power
of access and educational information that allows readers to control themselves from the
dangers of pre-marital sex or often referred to as free sex. According to Abdullah Nasih
Ulwan in Yustisia (2008), that sex among the wider community is no longer taboo.
According to Creagh (2004), the results of research conducted in 1999 by Sahabat
Remaja, a branch of the NGO of Indonesian Family Planning Association (Perkumpulan
Keluarga Berencana Indonesia/PKBI), showed that 26% of 359 teenagers in Yogyakarta
claimed to have ever had sex. Sex is a biological need for all beings, especially humans.
Through reproduction, humans can produce generations of offspring who inherit the
characteristics of their parents. Sex that already exists in a human will continue to grow
and they will have a desire in sex or commonly referred to sexual desire. However, in this
stage, the distribution of functional sex needs does not result in adverse effects which will
lead to damage to student behavior. Thus, it is necessary to have a proper sex education
which can be understood by students at all levels of education with an educational model
that is adjusted to the level of understanding.
Therefore, it is necessary to have a conceptual and practical education model that is
also sustainable and then; there will be no generation of the nation becomes a victim of
premarital sex which will become a burden during their lives, both sociological and
psychological aspects. Roqib (2018) states that if children get information and experience
about the wrong sex, it will create a psychological burden and affect their sexual health
later. According to Sanjaya, Ridwan and Wibhowo (2011) children have a habit of
imitating what others do.
Based on the results of a very sad study, JPPN (2010) in the journal Dedik
Sulistiawan, et al. about teenage virginity between the ages of 13-18 years states that the
category of junior and senior high school students in big cities had a relationship like
husband and wife (extramarital sex) such as Surabaya (54%), Medan (52%), Bandung
(47%) and Yogyakarta (37%). The percentage shows that there are many generations of
people who have become victims of free sex and ironically, they are still students.
Furthermore, BKKBN (2012) states that the occurrence of free sex among adolescents aged
15-24 years before marriage just happen (38.4%) and is forced by their partners (21.2%).
Whereas for men, the highest reason was out of curiosity (51.3%) and because of just
happened (25.8%). Out of the 84 respondents, 60% of Unwanted Pregnancies, includes
abortions. Even worse, the results of a study conducted by Suwarni (2009) in Pontianak
City concluded that adolescent premarital sexual behavior was 50% ever kissing, 30.7%
necking, 13.6% petting, 7.2% oral sex, 5.5% sex anal, and 14.7% intercourse. According to
her, the number of intercourse exceeds the figures released by the Ministry of Health 2009
(6.9% in Jakarta, Medan, Bandung, and Surabaya).
The negative influence of free association, as well as the imbalance of educational
information that occurs among adolescents, has become an epidemic that can give birth to
a variety of physical and psychosocial diseases from both women and men and both
families concerns. The issue of adolescence is now included in the critical level and is
difficult to control. This makes various circles feel anxious and try to find steps to solve it.
However, children are the assets of state, religion, and successors in the future.
Pre-marital sex behavior can occur as the Integrated Behavior Model theory which is
more focused on the intention to behave, the attitude, the subjective norms, the
knowledge, the peers' environment, and the personal factors. Furthermore, elementary
school childhood are periods of highly efficient internalization of values for children.
They are like a mirror, which is good at imitating movements, patterns of life, even the
mindset of those around them. They also have high curiosity so that children always like
to ask questions to anyone they believe can answer them.
Various topics that children hear from the surrounding environment will always
cause curiosity, including issues that contain sexuality aspects. Even in today's era, terms
that are not worthy of their age have become very familiar to children around us. They
always ask parents about things without stopping. So, it is not uncommon for parents to
feel overwhelmed to answer even, unable to answer their questions thoroughly and
finally, only anger is raised to them. This can lead to feelings of closure and dissatisfaction
with parents. Therefore, parents also need to know how to answer problems that are
considered unnatural from children's questions.
The behavior of children aged 6-12 years who deviate about sex, for example, begins
with appearance and clothing. Children aged 6-12 years get a lot of information about sex
deviations from their peers. Since parents do not want to talk about sex education when
their children are still at the age of 6-12 years, they will search for good sources of
information related to sex education from outside the home without excellent filtering.
When children are not taught about sex education, children will get information from
their peers, television programs, newspapers, magazines, and other things that make
children search from other sources (Elizabeth:168). The information must be known by
children when they are mature enough to receive it. According to Abduh & Wulandari
(2014) children aged 7-12 years are included in conventional morality which is very
dominantly influenced by the outside environment.
The proof of the importance of sex education to be delivered to early childhood is
"based on data from the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI), in 2011, there
were 216 reported cases of violence against children, in 2014, and there were 656 cases"
(Kompas, 16/12 / 2015). In 2016, "KPAI received 3,581 cases of public complaints. Of that
number, as many as 414 cases are cyber-based child crime cases ”(Kompas, 03-17/2017).
Therefore, Ninawati (in Suteja, 2017) revealed that homes and schools are educational
homes that cannot be separated from each other.

Research by Thalut (2018) shows that in Elementary School 3 Kepongpongan,


Cirebon Regency, cases of students who had kissed their female friends were found and
eventually led to conversations among students and finally reported to the school. Seeing
the above examples, especially those that occur at the elementary school level it is an
extraordinary thing for education policymakers in this country as well as academics who
are concerned in the world of education. Based on this background, very concrete, fast
and appropriate efforts are needed to form a sex education pattern for 12-year-old
students of compulsory education according to their academic level.

Research Methods
This research is qualitative research with a literature review approach based on
cases that have occurred. The application of Literature Review in this study is an
examination of academic debates originating from the various scientific literature on
existing sex education patterns. Furthermore, the authors compiled a model of sex
education based on the academic and psychological levels of students ranging from the
level of elementary school, junior high school, and up to senior high school.
Data collection in this study was through classification and identification of
scientific journals and debates of the academic community. Furthermore, it analyzed both
the substance and content aspects. Then, it was interpreted grammatically and
systematically, and authentic interpretation became a unified scientific analysis.

Results and Discussion


Sexuality is part of life; a component of health, physical growth, mental
development and socializing element for every human being. The development of science
and information technology in the digital era now has a diverse impact on the
community, especially students. It is because everything can be accessed through digital
technology freely and without a filter that guarantees. The strong result that is felt is the
shift in the child's psychological development. As a nation that has culture and has a view
of life to this recent date, Indonesia realizes the importance of noble character in the
education process. Students as integral parts of the school community are expected to
have a strong aspect of self-confidence, not only useful to motivate themselves to
progress, but also confidently to be able to deal with various learning problems with their
abilities.
Therefore, they need to be accustomed to stimuli that are good in class and continue
with family and society. Collaboration among parents, teachers and the community
environment is required in creating an environment that supports growth and
development in order to avoid free sex. According to Adhy Putri Rillianti and Amalia Ima
in Maimunah (2017), the German Government recently publish sex education books for
elementary students in comic forms that are interesting and easy to understand. The book
by Knudsen per Holm (2010) is titled: Wie Vater und Mutter ein Kind bekommen or How
Father and Mother Have Children”. Although this book has been translated into more
than 40 world languages, it still causes controversy and is considered uncomfortable by
the community because it displays vulgarities such as male and female genitals, and
condoms packed in comic pictures for children.
The age of two to twelve years is a time when early children begin to have new
independence. Their thoughts are still very limited to things that are pre-operational and
concrete operational. Furthermore, they will experience a period of transition from
childhood to adulthood. Based on development theories, it is essential for substantial
basic educational capital to support growth and development that lead to their readiness
to socialize in their community and can filter all information obtained. Moreover,
information about sexual behavior can be accessed anywhere and anytime, so that the
ability to filter information can be the norms of behavior. Sex education is given to a child
gradually, according to the age of a child. For children aged two years, teaching about
sexuality is given, starting with the introduction of body anatomy and explaining parts of
the body that should not be touched or seen by others. Getting used to cover aurat is also
part of sex education.
Furthermore, the learning characteristic of primary school children is concrete. So, it
needs detail explanation. Meanwhile, the characteristic of the high school student
reaching the age of 16-18 years old includes in the early teenage. In that age, they want to
show their identity by wanting their identity and capabilities to be acknowledged by
outsiders. Thammaraksa, Powwattana, Lagampan, & Thaingtham (2014) say that the
things needed to be noted while giving sex education to the high school students are
among others; a) the number of the students, b) demography and c) school’s location.
According to Sarnon et al., (2012) unmarried sex starts at a young age and every day it
increases.
According to Ninawati (2018), The Child Protection Commission reports that in
2011 there were 83% of teenagers used to watched pornographic videos, 93.7% of
teenagers had free sex and 21% had had abortions. Furthermore, according to Marlina,
Lapau (2017) states that forms of teenage sexual behavior generally starts from a less
intimate level to the most intimate or having sexual relations carried out by stages of
holding hands, shoulders, embracing the waist, kissing (necking), kissing on the lips while
hugging both dressed and naked, sticking to each other's genitals (petting sex) to finally
have sexual intercourse. Chasanah (2018) adds that cases that occurred in KPAI in 2011-
2013 were 7,065 cases of which 30.1% were sexual violence. Pratama's research (2014)
shows that kissing activities among adolescents are considered as normal or common.
However, doing one of the sexual behaviors is wrong and has the chance to have sexual
behavior that is at risk like intercourse. Other cases, such as data from the BKKBN in 2011,
in Bandung, as explained by Pratama (2014) it was recorded that there was 1,294 patients
visiting BKKBN, of which there were 67% of cases were premarital teenage sex. Teenage
sexual behavior includes behavior that is from not at risk to at risk. Examples of sexual
behavior that are not at risk include holding hands or hugging. Then, usually this
behavior increases to behavior that causes addiction and curiosity such as kissing,
groping, petting even oral sex and until finally the risky behavior such as having sex with
their partner. These risks include unwanted pregnancies, abortion, and transmission of
sexually transmitted infections, and even death for adolescents who have illegal abortions.
Ilmawati in Jatmikowati, Angin, & Ernawati (2015), psychologist and observer of
the problem of children and adolescents say that among the points of practical sex
education, which need to be applied and taught to children include the following. First,
the parents instill the feeling of shame in children. Shame must be early instilled in
children. They also do not familiarize children to be naked in front of others; for example,
when going out of the bathroom, changing clothes, and so on. Familiarizing girls to dress
in Muslim women which cover their aurat is also important as to instill shame and to
teach the children about their genitals and aurat. Second, the parents instill the spirit of
masculinity in boys and the spirit of femininity in girls.
Similar to the WHO survey in 2003 on sex education as explained by Pratama
(2014), sex education can reduce or prevent careless sexual behavior, which means it can
also reduce the transmission of diseases due to free sex. Sex education or education on
reproductive health or known as sex education should be given to kids who have grown
up or adolescents, both through formal and non-formal education. This is important to
prevent the bias of information about reproductive health among adolescents, as well as
immunity to relationships in today's world.
Salmi Razali, at al. (2017) explain that parents are provided with tools such as
videos, pamphlets to explain regarding sexuality to their children. Further, web-based
sexuality education is another approach that may provide opportunities for youth to learn
more regarding sexuality. With guidance and proper regulation, the internet is an
emerging unique but critical site to provide sexuality education. But, Maimunah (2017)
regrets that not all parents understand that talking openly to their children, regarding
sexual issues, is important, especially when they are at puberty. This condition is caused
by several factors including socioeconomic and education levels. Some parents who are in
the low education category feel unable to deliver sex education logically to their children,
but parents who fall into the category of good education also find it taboo and confusing
to talk about sexual problems to their children who are already as teenagers.
Thalut (2018) explains that the pattern of sex education applied by teachers in
elementary school 3 Kepongpongan Cirebon, West Java Indonesia was in accordance with
their capacity and understanding, and some even said they were still hesitant. In fact,
most of the parents of their students do not understand related to premarital information
because of the low level of their education and the school itself has not thought about
conducting sex education specifically. It is different with respondents and guardians of
grade 3 students who say that the process of understanding can be done by drawing
human organs in the form of posters, and then by explaining their roles and functions by
using language which is in accordance with the level of the children understanding.
Maimunah (2017) prioritizes people and the right time for the process of
implementing sex education for children. Das Salirawati in Academiesalliance, n.d. says
that the educational process of sex education to children must be in a language that is in
accordance with the level of mental development. Noor, Zulkifli, and Siraj (2011) explain
design and development from the three characteristics in the sex education process.

Furthermore, Tsani, Ayyun, and Malihah (2018) say that sex education should be
started by parents at home. According to Young (2011) in Schmidt (2015), home should be
used as reinforcement of definition and understanding of sex and sex education is usually
applied during family gatherings. Naz (2014) said that the results of sex education studies
in Fiji for teenagers were closer to the religious approach. In fact, it was explained by
Kurnia and Giri (2013) tell that sex education which is full of ethics and morals have been
carried out by previous people in various ways. In the book of "Asmaragama" for
example, it contains sex education that is taught in a straightforward, and politely
presented, in which includes good days, pronunciation and incantations, prohibitions and
taboos, and instructions on intercourse if you want a child to have the desired noble
nature. Nodulman and Lutgen-sandvik (n.d.) describe a good sex education program that
includes teaching and learning resources such as curriculum and other supporting media.

Pratama (2014) explains that the results of a survey conducted by the WHO in 2003
on sex education proves that sex education could reduce or prevent careless sexual
behavior, which means it can also reduce the transmission of diseases due to free sex. Sex
education or education about reproductive health should be given to children who have
grown up or adolescents, both through formal and non-formal education. This is
important to prevent the bias of knowledge about reproductive health among adolescents,
as well as immunity to relationships in today's world. Even Saul Butler at al. (2018),
Thammaraksa et al. (2014) and Lamb (2013) explain that sex education should be included
in the education curriculum program. Salmi Razali, at al, (2017) explain that according to
Malaysia National Adolescents Health Plan of Action (2006-2020), sexuality and
reproductive health educations should be implemented to increase knowledge on sexual
reproductive health, increase knowledge on HIV/AIDS, reduce the number of teenage
pregnancy every year and reduce adolescents specific fertility rate (ASFR among 15-19
years).
Naz (2014) in (Morton 1996; Plange 2002; Griffen 2006) In Pacific cultures, children
are educated about gender roles and are partied into the correct behavior for boys and
girls. Shakeshaft (2003) mention parents should always familiarize and train their children
to tell the situation. Suteja (2017) adds the models of sex education for adolescents if it is
associated with educational psychological values, among others are:
1. Lifelong sex education
This education model is more directed at how a child gets knowledge about
sex according to his age starting from childhood, teenagehood, adulthood and
elderly age. Teenagers usually often ask a lot about what their parents do.
2. Education of asking for permission (isti’zam)
This model of education is applied by Islamic law. It is, when the child is
about to step on the baligh period, so the parents must inform that there are certain
times that the child should not enter into his parents' room or when he will enter
his parents' room then the child must knock on the door first as a manifestation of
asking permission to enter the room. When the child enters his parents' room
without asking permission first while at that time the parents are having sexual
relations, then this will affect the child's psychological development. Even
sometimes, scenes that are found by the child will always be remembered and
embedded in the mind of his memory. It is very dangerous to the emotional
psychological development.
3. Education to hold the gaze and cover the aurat
This model of education aims to enable adolescents to hold their gaze and be
able to cover their bodies. Resisting the view can reduce lust that often appears in
mind. Covering aurat can both beautify woman’s appearance and decrease sin and
crime rates such as sexual harassment and rape. In the fiqh approach, for a woman,
almost all her entire body is aurat (certain parts of the body that we need to cover
from others to see), except her face and palms. Although there are opinions of
some Islamic scholars who say that all members of his body from the tip of his hair
to the ends of his feet are the aurat which may only be revealed and shown to her
muhrim.
4. Education to keep teenagers away from sexual activity
This education model is directed to the teenagers to make them stay away
from sexual activity through the television, internet and other media including the
sexual activity of their parents. Therefore, sexual activity conducted by the parents
should be done in a special place or secret place. It is because the child does not
understand well toward what they see and they don't know what is its dangers
after seeing those activities.
5. Educational of bed separation
Separation of children's beds is another educational principle for the success
of sexual education. Through this separation, children are kept away from their
parents' rooms which one day their parents have sexual relations. Besides, the
separation of sleep between boys and girls must be conducted as early as possible
to avoid body touches that can cause sexual stimulation.
6. Education about the prohibition against erotic acts
Islamic law prohibits any erotic actions that can arouse sexual desire in
children and adolescents because seeing erotic acts can lead to lust which cannot
be controlled by teenagers. So, this can plunge teenagers into the abyss of adultery
and even rape. Islam commands the importance of keeping children away from
seeing sexual activities, besides education and habituation to control themselves
from sexual stimuli and instill Shari'a rules in gazing and covering the aurat
among parents and children, adults and boys and girls, aims to keep children,
especially children of the age of mumayyiz, away from every erotic act.
7. Education of early marriage
This education model is more focused on preventive action before the
occurrence of adultery, rape, and other deviant behaviors. Psychology, education
and sexiology experts suggest that sexual education with various models and
methods including education about early marriage is done completely. Because
early marriage is a legal solution and is permissible for children, who have been
unable to control their sexual urges so they cannot satisfy their desire by violating
legal provisions or facing public criticism. Even the solution provides peace of
mind and brings appreciation from others.

Song (2015) told from the general requirements of the laws to the more specific rules
of the programme, China has made some progress in its provision of sexuality education.
For example, according to the Guiding Programme for Health Education in Primary and
Secondary Schools, in the area of “adolescent education, growth, and development”, it is
recognized that five levels of knowledge should be provided to
studentsofdifferentgrades:threelevelsforprimaryschoolstudentsandoneleveleach for junior

Kelly (2015) and Troiden (2019) tell that Sex education in middle and high school, as
described by participants was more explicitly about sex and sexuality, including topics
like pregnancy, contraception, relationships and appropriate sexual behavior. Nadler and
Nadler (2001) mention that out of class communication (CCC) between teacher and
studets is very important. But According to Pratama (2014), that classical literature that is
very well known, namely the book of "Kamasutra" from India which has been translated
into various languages, contains sculptural images depicting male and female
relationships that are explained in great detail in its textual description. Other versions of
this book can be found in Asian societies and cultures. Kurnia and Giri (2013) said in Bali,
Japan and China this book is classified as "advice" or guidance on how sex education
should be provided with the aim of breeding offspring, maintaining the integrity of
marriage and increasing understanding of the ins and outs of marital relations.

Conclusion and Suggestion


Sex education in children is not to teach them to have free sex but to understand
their body condition. This study explains that there is no sex education model for 12-year-
old students which have been standardized. It means that the educational model is
adapted to the conditions of students starting from the psychological state, knowledge,
and urgency for the students themselves. Furthermore, in the implementation of sex
education, parents or teachers collaborate to hold coaching both at school and at home.
Therefore, in general, this study offers a sex education pattern, including 1) for the 2-5
years children, it can be started with the introduction of differences in sexes and parts of
the human body and begin to be taught and accustomed to wearing a veil or skirt for girls
so later they will be accustomed to closing their aurat, 2) elementary school children need
games educational media and the right place for the education process about sex and
giving knowledge about signs of baligh, 3) Provision of sex education for middle-aged
and adolescent children is through free sex socialization programs and providing
knowledge about the dangers of sex without a legal marriage.
The implication of this research is to guide and facilitate students to gain knowledge
about sex education and how it can be applied as a safeguard against moral decadence
due to free sex. Because of sufficient knowledge and proper application of both students
or through teachers and parents, children are potentially safe from being victims of free
sex. The main focus of Sex Education is education and knowledge about sex. Sex
Education is able to save teenagers from unhealthy or dangerous conditions for their
health. Sex Education should not be considered taboo. The Sex Education Program should
achieve a balance between complete knowledge (including contraception) and cultural as
well as religious norms in Indonesia which are integrated into the education curriculum.
