Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) is an issue surrounded by controversy and debate, with important implications for the interconnected roles of the state, the school and the home and for the way we understand ourselves, our sexual identity and our personal relationships.This book charts the development of the moral and spiritual narrative in RSE policy in England. In particular, it expounds and critiques the popular moral narrative of «informed choice» an approach which advocates providing young people with the maximum amount of information around their sexual choices and defends a view of sexual morality which holds that anything goes, as long as it is in private, between consenting adults and harms no-one else.Alongside a comprehensive critique of this narrative, the book offers a unique contribution to the ongoing development of the moral and spiritual framework of RSE by presenting a Christian vision of a sexually and relationally educated young person. In particular, this enriched vision explores the cultivation of the virtues of Christian love and chastity.The findings presented here are highly significant for anyone concerned with developing and delivering RSE within a robust moral framework.

"Alors que ces deux comportements semblaient presque révolus depuis la "révolution sexuelle" des années 1970-1990, virginité et chasteté connaissent en réalité un fort regain. Dans une société pourtant hypersexualisée, des individus ou des groupes en font aujourd'hui un objectif de vie, sans qu'il soit forcément lié à une croyance religieuse. Cette remarquable synthèse interroge sur le temps long (16e-21e siècle) les pratiques extrêmement variées que recouvrirent en Europe ces deux termes trop souvent confondus et plus complexes qu'il n'y paraît. En dépit du magistère moral de l'Église sur les laïcs, qui tenta de leur imposer l'impératif absolu de la procréation et la dénégation du plaisir charnel, tous les cas de figure furent possibles, entre idéal mystique et turpitudes assumées. Cette quête d'un improbable idéal qui tourmenta les populations témoigne surtout de nos rapports difficiles à la sexualité et du poids des fantasmes masculins sur la condition féminine."--Page 4 of cover.
