`성'에 대해서 바로 알면 자기 몸에 대한 소중함을 알아 자존감을 갖고, 잘못된 성으로 인해 가져올 수 있는 여러 가지 문제점들을 생각해 봄으로써 세상을 살아가는데 옳은 것과 그른 것을 가려낼 수 있는 능력이 생기게 된다. 성적 행위는 일순간에 끝날 수도 있지만 그 결과는 삶 전반에 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 것을 인식할 필요가 있다. 특히 성적인 관계가 말초적이고 감각적인 쾌락만을 추구하는 상품이 아니라 상대방과 사랑과 친밀감을 나누는 대화의 장으로서 인식할 수 있는 성교육이 실시되어야 한다고 본다. 더불어 자신과 상대방의 성적인 건강을 고려하면서 만남을 만들어 갈 수 있는 안전한 성에 대한 정확한 이해를 줄 수 있는 열린 성교육이 필요하다고 본다.
