The most appropriate education system for youth is all abouthow to make youth expose and practice their desire to themselves and to others. This can promoteyouth health through understanding the close relations among people and the power relationship.
Conclusions This research, rather than being protective measure for youth, or being preparatoryeducation for exchanging knowledge, information and experience on standard means of conductingsexual relationship or sexual activities, proposes a transfer to sexual citizenship that promotesestablishment of new relationships.
