Abstract
Comprehensive sex education is a new global trend. However, Japanese sex education has got delayed. The provision of practical knowledge regarding sexual functions and sex-related matters meeting children’s needs is insufficient, including in universities. It is challenging to learn about sex from pornographic images appropriately. Moreover, Japanese people are especially sensitive to sex related matters because of the cultural characteristics of the “shame culture.” On the other hand, today, the Internet is a media familiar to young people. Solution-focused brief therapy regards ripple effects as important in contributing to toppling the first domino. In this study, a course was provided to university students in two ways: (1) developing proper attitudes toward sex in the class; (2) Obtaining practical knowledge about sexual functions and sex-related matters proactively by using media outside the class. Then, the appropriateness of the above methods was examined using a questionnaire. The results indicated 80% of the participants considered the course was appropriate regardless of gender. Both methods, especially (2), were appropriate. In the future, the effects of the course should be verified by examining whether proactive learning was conducted outside the class.
