Physical Development: Puberty
Until a child’s body starts the enormous changes involved in puberty, the sexual organs grow in size only to keep up with general body growth and change very little in their physiological activity. Though the body begins internal changes to prepare for puberty as early as age 6 or 7, the first outward signs of […]
The dangers of the grey area
In our outreach work by SWASH we have found that migrant sex workers who are in the illegal sector of the industry and usually have a greater need for money are more likely than their Japanese counterparts to engage in the most risky acts. They refer to ‘honban’ (literally the ‘real turn’) full sexual intercourse, […]
Express Your Feelings
It can be helpful to talk about your feelings in response to a complaint rather than letting those feelings dictate your response. Your partner’s complaint may cause you to feel angry, hurt, or dejected. Putting your feelings into words is probably more effective than acting them out.

Between the ages of 6 and 12, the first outward signs of puberty often occur, and both boys and girls become more private about their bodies. Children begin building a larger knowledge base about sexual information—and acquire information from many sources, including their parents/caregivers, peers, and siblings. During the middle childhood to preteen years, children […]
LONE MOTHERS, GENDER AND WELFARE STATE REGIMES

Sexual Knowledge and Attitudes: Sex Is Different
During this period of early childhood, children learn that the genitals are different from the rest of the body. They remain covered up, at least in public, and touching or playing with them is either discouraged or to be done only in private. This is the beginning of the sense of secrecy surrounding sexuality. Children […]
Second-wave feminism and a redefinition of ‘the political’
Second wave feminism began to emerge in about 1968 as masses of women began struggling for ‘liberation’ from patriarchal dominance. It was part of a general upsurge in political activity as the baby boomers reached their teenage years and were keen to use their numbers to change the world. The year 1968 had seen some […]

Ask Clarifying Questions
Your partner may deliver a complaint so vaguely that you need clarification. If this happens, ask questions. Suppose your partner complains that you do not take enough time in your lovemaking. You might respond by asking, "Do you mean that we should spend more time touching before we have intercourse, or that I should wait […]
