Children's Sex Book Causes Stir.

[Vanhelsing]

A children's book is at the centre of a controversy in Indonesia because it teaches children about masturbation.

Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) has said I Learn to Control Myself is harmful for children and could lead to "sexual deviance

The publishers, Tiga Serangkai, said the book was meant to educate children about why they feel how they do, but that "this behaviour is inappropriate and has potential health risks".

"So when you put it into a book, and every children can read it, one who didn't even know will feel curious and try."

Probably because it makes you blind or something like that,

I'd be interested to know what if any teachings the Quran gives on the topic.

Dan?

But I haven't gone blind nor have hair on my hands...and what does this big word 'masturbation' mean anyway...:lol:

Not Dan but I do believe it is forbidden.

The Indonesian government have demanded the publisher recall the book.

"The content of the book is not appropriate for children. It's too vulgar," the ministry said in a statement, adding the publisher must recall the book or face "strict sanction".

But have you been monogamous or have you been a "switch-hitter"?

If true, I'd like the book gone, because it is incorrect and harmful to children's mental health to think that they can harm themselves via masturbation.

I wonder is Trump has an executive order in the works prohibiting self-abuse?
