"SIECUS-the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States-has served as the national voice for sexuality education, sexual health, and sexual rights for almost 40 years. SIECUS believes that sexuality is a natural and healthy part of life and that all people have the right to the information, skills, and services they need to make responsible sexual decisions.
Four Decades of Leadership
In 1964, a physician, a lawyer, a sociologist, a family life educator, a clergyman, and a public health educator came together to form a new organization dedicated to assuring that all people had access to information about sexuality.
In the four decades that followed, SIECUS has been at the forefront of efforts to promote sexuality education for people of all ages, protect sexual rights, and expand access to sexual health.
Since our founding, SIECUS has helped millions of people understand, embrace, and respect their sexuality through our work with educators, health-care providers, parents, journalists, policymakers, religious leaders, community members, and young people. This tradition continues today:
Information: SIECUS works to make sure that information, knowledge, and skills are within everybody's reach. Each year, SIECUS distributes hundreds of thousands of print and electronic resources to educators, advocates, parents, researchers, physicians, and others working to expand sexual health programs, policies, and understanding. SIECUS also offers specialized assistance to help individuals locate research, write accurate news articles, create sexual health curriculum, and build support for high quality programs in their community.
Education: SIECUS provides information and training opportunities for educators, health professionals, parents, and communities across the country to ensure that people of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds receive high quality, comprehensive education about sexuality. We work to provide parents and educators with the information they need on important issues such as sexuality education, youth development, sexual and reproductive health, puberty, abstinence, relationships, sexual orientation, body image, self-esteem, sexually transmitted diseases, HIV/AIDS, unintended pregnancy, and more.
Public Policy: SIECUS works to secure sound public policies on sexuality-related issues by developing targeted educational resources for policymakers, providing thoughtful analysis of sexuality and reproductive health issues, and bringing together key organizations to move forward a proactive agenda on the national, state, and local levels. Through all our work, we advocate to expand sexual and reproductive health education programs, policies, funding, and rights
International: SIECUS partners with organizations around the world. We provide technical assistance, specialized trainings and workshops, and program guidance to advance sexuality education, reproductive health, HIVAIDS treatment and prevention programs, and advocacy efforts worldwide.
Media Outreach: SIECUS provides major news sources with information on advances in reproductive healthcare, family communication about sexuality, sexuality education, prevention programs, the inadequacies of abstinence-only-until-marriage programs, and the many issues faced by gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth. By engaging and educating influential media outlets, SIECUS is moving the public discourse on these critical issues to be more open and honest.

Public Support for Comprehensive Sexuality Education The overwhelming majority of adults want comprehensive sexuality education programs in our nation's schools. The voting public realizes that, while we may hope that our teens do not become sexually active before they are emotionally and physically prepared, the reality is that over 60% of teens have had sex by the time they reach 12th grade. Current federal policy provides over $100 million per year for abstinence-only-until-marriage sexuality programs that deny young people valuable and potentially life-saving information. Young people deserve all the information, and the public soundly agrees.
Numerous surveys of adults from around the country demonstrate strong public support for comprehensive sexuality education in American schools:
- 93% of Americans support teaching sexuality education to high school age students; 84% support sexuality education for middle and junior high school age students.
- 90% of the engaged, voting public believe all students should receive sexuality education that is age-appropriate, medically accurate, and that begins early and continues through high school.
- 66% of registered voters are in favor of a proposal to increase efforts to provide age-appropriate sexuality education in public elementary schools.
- 54% of adults believe that eliminating sexuality education in schools would lead to more teenage pregnancies.
- Support for sexuality education is not limited to a particular region, but rather exists across the country. Polls from CA, IN, NC, NM, NY all show strong support for medically accurate, age-appropriate sexuality education in schools.
These surveys also show strong public support for a breadth of topics being included in sexuality education curricula:
- 96% of Americans support providing information about AIDS in high schools.
- 90% of Americans believe that the biology of reproduction should be among the topics included in sexuality education curricula in schools.
- 87% of Americans believe that birth control should be among the topics included in sexuality education curricula in schools.
- 92% of Americans believe that STDs and AIDS should be among the topics included in sexuality education curricula in schools.
- 91% of adults believe that 9th –10th grade is the appropriate age to teach students about HIV/AIDS/STDs.
There is also broad support across religious lines:
- More than 10 religious organizations are members of the National Coalition to Support Sexuality Education, including the American Jewish Congress, the Office of Family Ministries and Human Sexuality of the National Council of Churches of Christ, and the Unitarian Universalist Association.
- Almost eight in ten conservative Christians support sexuality education in high school and seven in ten support it in middle school.

"Harmful to Minors: The Perils of Protecting Children From Sex (ISBN 0816640068) is a book by Judith Levine that was published in 2002 with a foreword by former United States Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders. In the book, Levine lambasts US laws concerning child pornography, statutory rape, and abortion for minors. It also analyzes abstinence only sex education, which Levine considers counter-productive and dangerous.
Because of its controversial nature and content, it was nearly impossible for Levine to find a publisher—one prospective publisher even called it "radioactive." University of Minnesota Press eventually agreed to publish the book, despite cries of outrage from the right wing of Minnesota's political establishment.
It became famous after it won the Los Angeles Times Book Award. Conservatives such as Joe Scarborough and Robert Knight inaccurately accused Levine of promoting pedophilia for her suggestion that the US adopt statutory rape laws similar to those in the Netherlands. Some demanded the book be removed from libraries.
