The sexualisation of modern society and the corresponding massive sex-offensive necessitate fundamental reflection on the so-called modem view of sexuality. In order to reveal some of the fundamental causes for this view of sexuality, characteristics of contemporary Western societies such as the following are referred to: feelings of discontent, uncertainty, futurelessness and hedonism, the influence of mass media and the discreditation and rejection of marriage as an institution. It appears that sexuality has become even more problematic/complicated in culturally diverse societies since the espousal of a so called value pluralism has opened the way for all types of sexual malpractices to be regarded as acceptable. Consequently it is demanded that the sexual education which children receive should consist of factual and neutral information on all sexual (mal-)practices. Christian parents/teachers who want tofulfil their calling however, may not shirk their responsibility of providing emphatic guidance to the children entrusted to them according to the Christian view of life and sexuality .
