Indian society is closed in nature and it follows double standards on the question of sex-education. It generates an utter confusion in the mind of adolescents and sex taboos become a sense of great mysticism in their mind. Adolescent experience a great deal of anxiety emerging out of poor knowledge about their sexual developments, sex and form misconceptions. Sex-education would help students to develop positive attitude towards sex when their queries are satisfied honestly and scientifically. Adolescents have so many myths about their organic development systems, bodily changes, hormonal effects on reproductive system, chronological maturity and its physiological impacts, when they become anxious, stressful and over-pressurized, nobody is their to help, guide and to explain different facts of boy-girl relationship to cope with her / his felt sexual urges. In view of all these considerations the researcher is interested to plan study on the attitude towards sex-education parents and teachers of the students in senior secondary classes.
