Seshan frowns on mode of conduct

The organisers were taken aback, when Seshan, sounding harsh enough, snubbed renowned sexologist Dr. Prakash Kothari for `making a joke of sex education’ in his more than thirty-minute presentation at the function.

Deviating from his conventional style of spewing venom at the country’s political situation, Seshan came down hard upon the sex counsellors and medical professionals, who were making a mockery of the sensitive subject, he said.

Dr Kothari, earlier, in his presentation supplemented with a slide show, spoke on the need for sex education. Little did Kothari realise that his attempts to stitch the show with a bit of `shayari’ and embarassing posers to the audience would draw flak from the former CEC.

Putting forth his arguments in Hindi, Seshan called on the sexologists to deal with sex education with seriousness. He said,“Most of the slide and talk shows only strenghthened the lightness with which sex education is taken in the society”. “If the doctors can discuss problems of heart, brain and kidney with seriousness than why is that the education related to sex has to find the way of funny one-liners and senseless remarks to make the point more emphatic,"observed Seshan. Advocating the imparting of sex education to the masses, Seshan said like any other subject, sex education should be also imparted.
